Character designs also previewed for anime premiering in April

The official website for the television anime of Chihiro Ishizuka's Flying Witch manga revealed the main cast and character designs on Friday.

Minami Shinoda as Makoto Kowata



Eri Suzuki as Chinatsu Kuramoto, Makoto's cousin who lives with her in the Kuramoto household



Shinsuke Sugawara as Kei Kuramoto, Chinatsu's older brother



The comical story follows the 15-year-old witch Makoto Kowata and the other boys and girls in her daily life. With her black cat Chito, the somewhat aimless girl moved from Yokohama to live with her second cousin at Aomori in verdant northern Japan.

Katsushi Sakurabi (Gunparade March, Heaven's Memo Pad, Lunar Legend Tsukihime) is directing the anime at the studio J.C. Staff, and Deko Akao (Arakawa Under the Bridge, Noragami, Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream, Snow White with the Red Hair) is in charge of the series scripts. Masato Yasuno (episode animation director on Little Busters!, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) is designing the characters.

Ishizuka launched the manga in the September 2012 issue of Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine (Attack on Titan, The Heroic Legend of Arslan), and Kodansha published the third compiled volume last April. The fourth volume will ship on April 8. The anime will air on NTV, Aomori Broadcasting Corporation, and other channels.
