We learned in April 2025 that another manga is on the path to an anime adaptation, with the Tenmaku no Jādūgar getting the nod. The manga translates as A Witch’s Life in Mongol which began in 2021 from creator Tomato Soup. The manga has five volumes out as of April 2025, with Yen Press bringing it out in English as Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia.
The series was previously set for a July 2026 debut in Japan through the IMAnimation block. Abel Gongora is directing it under the executive director Naoko Yamada from the series composition by Kanichi Kato. Kenichi Yoshida is handling the character designs and serving as the chief animation director with Science Saru on the animation production.
With a July 4th, 2026, premiere date set recently, Crunchyroll made its pickup of the series for the season. Now, just a few days away from its debut, the production has brought out a new trailer that reveals the ending theme song ‘Hoshi” as performed by Queen Bee.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Akira Sekine as Shitara
- Houko Kuwashima as Fatima
- Jun Saitō as Muhammad
- Miyu Irino as Shira
- Ryōta Suzuki as Tolui
- Kenji Nojima as Jochi
- Ami Koshimizu as Töregene

Plot Concept: There was once a young girl in the 13th-century slave markets of Iran. This is the tale of a witch who toyed with a vast continent.
After losing her mother and being torn far from her homeland, Sitara found herself utterly alone, with no ability to survive on her own, and no hope for the future. Taken in by a family of scholars, the power of “knowledge” is imparted on her within the calm of her new life. Meanwhile, under the reign of Emperor Genghis Khan, the mighty Mongol Empire continues its unstoppable march, conquering nation after nation and expanding its influence across the world.
When that boundless ambition finally reaches Sitara’s city, her quiet days come to an end, and the wheels of fate begin to turn.
