What is Secrets of the Silent Witch about?
The fantasy sword and sorcery anime is based on the Secrets of the Silent Witch light novel series written by Matsuri Isora and illustrated by Nanna Fujimi. After being serialized in the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website from February to October 2020, the series was acquired by Fujimi Shobo who began to publish it under their Kadokawa Books imprint in June 2021. As of February 2025, eight volumes have been published.

Yen Press, which licensed the official English version of both the Secrets of the Silent Witch light novels and manga, shared a plot description for the fantasy series:
Monica Everett, the Silent Witch, is the only mage in the world who can use unchanted magecraft, a true hero who singlehandedly defeated a legendary black dragon. However, this young genius is actually…super-duper shy! That’s right: She learned to cast spells silently just to avoid speaking 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?
