The Majo no Tabitabi (Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina) stage at the GA Fes 2026: GA 20th Anniversary event announced an anime movie on Sunday.

Produced by animation studio C2C, the television anime adapting Jougi Shiraishi's adventure fantasy light novel aired in 12 episodes in Fall 2020. Funimation simulcasted the anime with subtitles and subsequently streamed an English dub.

Majo no Tabitabi debuted as an e-book on Amazon's Kindle service in 2014. Following stalls in sales, Shiraishi promptly advertised the series on 2channel's VIP bulletin board and successfully attracted a following. SB Creative began printing the novel under its GA Novel label in April 2016 with illustrations by Azure and published the 24th volume in March 2025. The 25th volume is set for a March 14 release.

Itsuki Nanao (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto Gaiden: Xiaolan Kaisouroku) serialized a manga adaptation on the Manga UP! web magazine from November 2018 to March 2024. Square Enix released the sixth and final volume in July 2024.

Yen Press and Square Enix licensed the light novel and manga in English last July, respectively. The 15th light novel volume shipped in April 2025, with the 16th volume going on sale on January 6. The sixth and final manga volume was released on August 19 last year. Yen Press is also publishing the Inori no Kuni no Riviere (Riviere and the Land of Prayer) spin-off in English and released the third volume in December 2024.

Synopsis
Since childhood, Elaina has always been fascinated by the stories written within her favorite book, especially those about Nike, a renowned witch who had numerous great travels across the world. Wanting to experience the awe of adventure herself, Elaina strives to become a witch, and despite the numerous trials that come her way, she eventually succeeds.

Now a full-fledged witch, Elaina finally embarks on her long-awaited journey, in which she meets many people along the way, learning their various stories. Through all of this, she explores the world at its fullest—experiencing both its bright and dark sides—starting her legendary tale. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Yay! I really enjoyed season 1 and I’m looking forward to the movie.

Elaina is officially coming back with a sequel film. I've been waiting for a sequel since the first season ended.

I don't really like this trend that the sequel is a movie. But hey! Elaina is back and that's all that matters

The most logical decigion for them would be to just adapt the 4th LN volume as it is a big self-contained story and they already teased one of the main characters in the S1 ending.

Please don't be some fucking stupid recap like so many great series get.

Can’t wait, season one was great!

Cautiously optimistic for this, I enjoyed the show quite a bit but most of the movie sequels I've seen have been somewhat lacklustre.

I wanted a second season, but it wasn't okay, that's also great

two 'oddball' anime get sequel announcements during one event? cool! :D https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2247770

i found S1 alot like 'Kino no Tabi' as the 1st commenter mentioned. i do doubt that Crunchy will even attempt a North American theatrical release for this movie... i don't think the show was even that popular here in NA so Crunchy probably won't think a theatrical release would net them any profit. but i do hope Crunchy does pick this movie up for streaming purposes. :D

I'm happy to see these news. I've been waiting for a second season for years now but a movie sounds awesome too. I just want to see more of the greatest most perfect witch in the world

@Hipo27 I doubt they would announce a recap after so many years.

Jan 4, 7:09 AM by RobertBobert

I hope it's not a recap movie.

Our favourite narcissist witch returns! Hopefully it's a proper sequel, not some recap.
