Episode 13 Story

Asa Takumi reunites with her classmate Chise Morimoto, who has returned to school after some time away, and invites her to a light music club live performance being held in the concourse.

When Asa returns home, she finds Makio Kodai signing copies of her own novel. When Asa asks, “Who did you write it for?”, Makio firmly replies, “I don’t write for other people.”

“No matter who you do something for, you can never truly control another person’s heart or actions.”

Just before the live performance, Asa feels nervous as the light music club’s president, Oki, asks about her goals. Holding Makio’s words close to her heart, Asa steps onto the stage.

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.
