LatestMakoto finds her old robe and realizes she's outgrown it, so she decides to make a new one. She also decides to surprise Chinatsu by making her one, too.
Makoto Kowata is a little flighty, in multiple ways. With no sense of direction, but the ability to fly on a broom, this witch-in-training has a lot to learn; about magic, her relatives, and the world around her.
Cinematography
Aomori countryside so lush you'll smell the grass.
Score
Gentle piano that whispers 'everything is fine'.
Production
Iyashikei perfected — every frame a warm hug.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Iyashikei ('healing') anime peaked in the 2010s; Flying Witch is frequently cited alongside Non Non Biyori as defining the rural-comfort subgenre.
The Aomori setting is painstakingly accurate — locals recognized specific roads, shops, and the real Hirosaki Apple Park. The mandarin orange obsession? Also real regional pride.
