Under the accomplished leadership of Toshiyuki Kubooka, known for his work on Harukana Receive and the Berserk film trilogy, the anime was produced at the C2C studio. The series scripts were supervised and penned by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu.

The narrative of the series, as described by Yen Press, the publisher of the English version of the light novel series, is a coming-of-age tale of a witch named Elaina. In her travels across the world, Elaina encounters a variety of individuals and experiences, each of which contribute to her own growing worldview and personal development.
The light novel series, significantly popular among the fanbase, secured the #9 position in the 2018 Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! list, and rose to #6 in the subsequent year’s list.
In addition to the anime adaptation, Itsuki Nanao launched a manga adaptation in November 2018 on the Square Enix’s Manga UP! app. This manga adaptation is slated to conclude in its sixth volume in winter 2024.
