About Hello, I Am a Witch and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion!

Hello, I Am a Witch and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion! is a light novel by Eiko Mutsuhana with illustrations by Vient, serialized on Shosetsuka ni Naro from April 2019 to March 2020. Futabasha published the print version since October 2019. The manga adaptation by Kamada runs in Kadokawa’s ComicWalker, with the sixth volume scheduled for February 5. The story follows Rose, who has been secretly in love with the royal knight Harij for four years. When he asks her to prepare a love potion, Rose’s feelings are hurt, but she agrees anyway while secretly trying to extend the time they spend together. What starts as a simple request turns into something more as Harij begins regular visits, leading to an unexpected romance between the reclusive witch and the serious knight.

Does the misdirected love potion premise seem like a fresh hook for the fantasy romance genre, or have you seen too many similar variations?
