The fantasy series Silent Witch: Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto is drawing attention with its ongoing TV anime, but the novels and manga are already far ahead in the storyline. While the anime introduces viewers to Monica’s double life as a timid yet powerful witch, the latest volumes reveal new arcs, characters, and conflicts waiting beyond the broadcast. This article breaks down what the anime has covered so far and highlights what readers can discover in the original works.
Anime Progress Snapshot: Silent Witch’s Current Arc
The TV anime adaptation of Silent Witch: Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto focuses on the early arcs of Monica’s journey. Viewers are introduced to her secret identity as the timid “silent witch” who hides her true powers while guarding Prince Felix. So far, the anime has adapted material roughly from Volumes 1 to 3 of the novel series, bringing to life Monica’s struggles in the academy and her subtle battles against hidden threats.
Beyond the Broadcast: Novels Advance the Plot
For fans eager to know what lies ahead, the novels have already moved much further. The latest entry, Volume X (July 2025), opens a brand-new chapter featuring prison break incidents and a mysterious water spirit. These developments expand the worldbuilding and raise the stakes beyond what the anime has shown to date. Readers get deeper insights into Monica’s growth, her bond with allies, and the wider conflicts threatening the kingdom.
Manga Adaptation Adds Pace, Details, and Drama
The manga version offers another way to enjoy the story. Volume VI (September 2025) covers similar arcs as the anime but adds expressive visuals and character interactions that differ from the TV adaptation. It’s an accessible entry point for new readers who want to follow Monica’s tale at a slightly different pace, while also including bonus scenes and dramatic panel work that enhance the atmosphere.
Spinoff ‘-another-’ Follows Louis at Minerva
Beyond Monica’s story, the spinoff series Silent Witch -another-: Kekkai no Majutsushi no Nariagari introduces a new protagonist, Louis Miller. Growing up in harsh conditions, Louis displays extraordinary magical talent that propels him into the elite academy of Minerva. His struggles as an outsider among nobles provide a parallel yet distinct perspective on the world of Silent Witch, offering longtime fans an exciting expansion of the franchise.
Your Next Steps: Read, Sample, and Explore

The manga also provides a visually engaging option, while the spinoff gives fans an entirely new angle on the same magical setting.
