A Success as a Manga Too

The "Secrets of the Silent Witch" anime is based on a light novel by Matsuri Isora with illustrations by Nanna Fujimi. The story was originally published on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in February 2020. Fujimi Shobo later acquired the rights and began publishing it under their Kadokawa Books imprint in June 2021.

A manga adaptation by Tobi Tana has been serialized on Enterbrain's B's Log Comic manga website since July 2021. Yen Press has licensed both the "Secrets of the Silent Witch" light novel and the manga for English-speaking regions and describes the story as follows:

THE SHIEST WITCH YOU’LL EVER MEET!

Monica Everett, the Silent Witch, is the world’s only magician who can cast spells without speaking—a true hero who single-handedly defeated a legendary black dragon.

But this young prodigy is actually…super-duper shy! That’s right: she learned to cast spells silently just so she wouldn’t have to talk in public, and despite her power, she has zero self-confidence.

Now Monica has been tasked with secretly guarding the Second Prince. Can she keep it together as she faces both the evil forces targeting the prince and the terrors of social interaction?

Anticipation for the Anime Premiere

The announcement of Yoko Hikasa as Bridget Greyham is building anticipation for the anime adaptation of Secrets of the Silent Witch, which is set to premiere in July. Fans of the light novel and manga are eager to see how the story and characters are brought to life in animated form.

It will be interesting to see how she interprets the role of the student council secretary and how her character fits into the story.
