The official website of the Majo no Tabitabi (Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina) anime series revealed the sixth key visual (pictured above) and a second promotional video on Friday. The television anime adaptation of Jougi Shiraishi's adventure fantasy light novel will premiere in October 2020.

Voice actress Yoko Hikasa (New Game!, Little Witch Academia) is joining the cast as Sheila. Kaede Hondo (Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara), Kana Hanazawa (Sora yori mo Tooi Basho), and Tomoyo Kurosawa (Hibike! Euphonium) are starring as Elaina, Fran, and Saya, respectively.

Anisong singer ChouCho (Masamune-kun no Revenge, Suisei no Gargantia) is performing the ending theme "Haiiro no Saga."

Toshiyuki Kubooka (Harukana Receive) is directing the series at animation studio C2C, with Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken, Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou) in charge of the series composition and script. Takeshi Oda (Harukana Receive, Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu chief animation director) is designing the characters.

Majo no Tabitabi originally debuted as an e-book on Amazon's Kindle service in 2014, but stalled in sales in the beginning. Shiraishi promptly advertised the series on 2channel's VIP bulletin board and successfully attracted a following. SB Creative began publishing the novel under its GA Novel label in April 2016, featuring illustrations by Azure. The 13th volume is scheduled to go on sale on July 15 (pictured right).

A manga adaptation by Itsuki Nanao has been serialized in Manga UP! web magazine since November 2018. Square Enix published the second volume on December 25 last year.

Yen Press and Square Enix licensed the light novel and manga in English last July, respectively. The second light novel volume shipped on June 23. The first manga volume was released digitally on May 12 and is planned for a physical release on July 14.
