The TV anime Kamitsubaki City Under Construction is set to air nationwide starting July 3 at 11:56 PM on TBS and its 28 affiliated stations. Ahead of the television premiere, a limited two-week theatrical release of the special version titled Kamitsubaki City Under Construction: Witchling will begin on June 13. Alongside this announcement, the first promotional video (PV) and the main visual were released to the public.

The key visual features the five "Witchlings"—young girls who wield magical songs—as they confront terrifying entities known as "Tesseractors," monsters born from human malice and desire. These supernatural threats appear in Kamitsubaki City, a ruined urban landscape slowly recovering from past devastation. The Witchlings’ mission: protect the city using the power of their voices.

In the first PV, each girl is depicted grappling with her own emotional conflicts as they rise to face the dangers that threaten their city. The animation and direction offer a glimpse into the dramatic, music-infused fantasy that blends emotion, technology, and supernatural forces.

Story Synopsis

"Songs are magic—they can change the world and fate itself."

Seven years ago, a cataclysmic disaster shattered human civilization. Kamitsubaki City, once a hub of advanced science and technology, has made a miraculous recovery using those very innovations. But beneath its revival lies a growing darkness: monsters known as Tesseractors, manifestations of human malice and desire, have begun to disturb the city’s fragile peace.

Only the voices of five girls, known as "Witchlings," possess the magical power to stand against these beings. Using their songs as weapons, they rise to defend their city from the encroaching chaos.

Set in a broken world and a city that still clings to life, the story follows these brave girls as they resist fate and fight for a better future.
