Episode 7 Story

Makio and Asa go out to eat at a family restaurant with Emiri and Emiri’s mother, Michiko. Makio asks Michiko, who once had interactions with Minori as “Asa-chan’s mom,” about what Minori was like as a mother. While Asa is deeply curious about Emiri’s love life, Emiri brushes it off, recalling something Makio once said.

As Makio and Asa’s shared life gradually deepens their connections with those around them, an unexpected moment occurs. One day, Asa overhears a conversation between Makio and Shingo Kasamachi and learns about the existence of Minori’s diary, a revelation that quietly shakes her world.

About Journal With Witch

Makio Kodai, a reclusive novelist who struggles with social interaction, impulsively decides to take in her niece Asa Takumi after Asa loses her parents in an accident. Asa had been living with Makio’s sister and brother-in-law, who suddenly pass away.

The unexpected start of their life together completely disrupts Makio’s once-quiet daily routine. Unaccustomed to living with others, Makio feels anxious about sharing her life with the 15-year-old Asa.

Meanwhile, Asa, having lost her parents and her sense of belonging, experiences deep loneliness for the first time. In the process, she encounters Makio’s “unadult-like” way of living, which is entirely different from that of her mother.

Makio, who dislikes socializing and prefers solitude, and Asa, who is friendly and straightforward, are complete opposites in personality and values. Despite their confusion, the two begin an awkward shared life together.

This is a tentative, age-gap cohabitation story of two people learning how to live with their own loneliness, side by side.
