Haruka Shiraishi has been chosen to play the main character, Luna.
The teaser visual released this time shows Luna lying down deep in the black forest, looking up at the sky. Luna’s expression is a little sad, and the illustration is finished to raise expectations for the introduction of the work, which depicts “a dreamlike encounter coming to lonely Luna, who does not know the warmth of humans.” Various mushrooms are growing around Luna, which is also noteworthy for the title “Champignon (Mushroom) Witch.”
Additionally, the teaser PV released simultaneously is the first to feature the animation video of this work. Along with a narration reminiscent of a fairy tale, it begins with a beautiful landscape image of the moon floating in the night sky and a deep forest with sunlight filtering through the trees, introducing the life of the kind-hearted black witch, Luna.
In the second half, the impressive text “Meetings and partings of a lonely girl” is displayed, and Luna, with an uplifting expression and a sad scene of her shedding tears, unfolds, making the story even more interesting. Haruka Shiraishi, who plays the main character Luna, commented, “While there are heart-wrenching scenes and sad, tear-jerking scenes, Luna and the others find happiness within themselves and the people they should cherish. It’s a story of love and growth and a warm work that teaches us the “important things” in everyday life, so please watch over Luna and the others in the anime.”
