Episode 12 Story

Although Asa had always felt uncomfortable with “standing out,” encouragement from Makio and Makio’s friend Motsu leads her to step forward and volunteer for the vocal audition herself.

It has almost been one year since Asa lost her parents.

As the first anniversary of their passing approaches, Makio asks Asa what she truly wants to do. In response, Asa comes to Makio with a certain proposal.

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.
