Who are the cast and staff members of "Hello, I am a Witch, and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion!"?
The two main cast members of the anime includes:
- Mikako Komatsu as Rose
- Yohei Azakami as Harij
The comment from Mikako Komatsu states (machine translated):
On the day of the audition, I went to the set feeling down after a series of failures that morning, thinking it was just not going to be a good day. But by the time I left, my slightly self-deprecating mood had turned into a bright, cheerful one after the rain. I feel like I've been completely enchanted by this story. I hope that the sweet, tingling sensation I felt in my fingertips when I read the original work will be vividly conveyed to everyone who will be watching. Please look forward to it!
The comment from Yohei Azakami states (machine translated):
To be honest, I didn't feel very confident at the audition stage. The atmosphere of the original work was too beautiful for someone as clumsy as me to be involved in... However, once I understood Harryge's humanity, all my concerns disappeared. Above all, Mikako's portrayal of Rose is so adorable! I came to the realization that if I simply reacted to Rose purely as Harij, the story might work. I'm now enjoying the recording process! Please look forward to it!
Keizo Kusakawa directs the anime at Diomedéa with Wataru Watari handling series composition. Ishikawa Masakazu designs the characters and Hayato Matsumura composes the music. Yayoi Tateishi is the sound director while Heart Company handles music production.
What is Hello, I am a Witch, and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion! about?
The upcoming series is based on Eiko Mutsuhana’ web novel series which was serialised in the user generated publication platform Shōsetsuka ni Narō from April 2019 to March 2020. Later, Futabasha published it as a light novel under its M Novels f imprint with illustrations by Vient. A manga adaptation by Kamada began in August 2020.

Yen Press publishes the novels under the name “Hi, I'm a Witch, and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion”, and describes the story as:
“Make me a love potion.”
And with that single sentence, the Good Witch of the Lake’s secret crush on the dashing Sir Harij ends in heartbreak. Still, when he promises to help her gather the ingredients, Rose is thrilled at the chance to gaze upon a man she’d normally never get to interact with. She learns to brace her pounding heart for their usual stilted conversations…but what is she to do when he inexplicably shows up at her doorstep with bread and a jar of apple butter?
