SPOILER-LIGHT · SEASON 1 · EARLY REVIEW (EPISODES 1–2 LISTED)
QUICK TAKE

This early look has a tender, awkward hook: Rose, a witch who loves a knight, is asked to make a potion for someone else. The heartbreak is built into the premise, while gathering ingredients gives their shared time room to matter. With only two Season 1 episodes listed, the full romantic payoff is still an open question.

Dreaming Anime is a Trinidad-rooted, Caribbean anime publication for fans worldwide.

A LOVE POTION FOR SOMEONE ELSE

Rose lives quietly by the lake until the knight she secretly loves asks her to brew a love potion for another person. Although the request hurts, she agrees and treasures the time they spend collecting ingredients, knowing that the potion’s completion may end their closeness.

A BITTERSWEET ROMANCE AT ITS CORE

The premise’s strongest idea is not the potion itself, but the emotional imbalance it creates: Rose is helping someone she loves pursue another person. That gives small shared moments a wistful edge and sets up a gentler fantasy romance than the potion premise might suggest.

There is promise in the contrast between Rose’s quiet life and the impossible request she receives. The story’s appeal will depend on giving both characters room to grow beyond a one-sided longing; the early setup has not yet shown where their feelings will lead.

WHY THIS IS AN EARLY REVIEW

Crunchyroll currently lists Season 1 with Episodes 1 and 2. That is enough to establish the central conflict, but not enough to judge the complete season or its romantic resolution. This is a first impression, not a final verdict on the full adaptation.

VERDICT

Hello, I am a Witch and my Crush Wants me to Make a Love Potion! opens with a sweet but genuinely painful romantic dilemma. Its quiet fantasy setup has room to become affecting if Rose’s kindness leads to meaningful change; for now, the premise is promising and the season remains too early to call.

Content note: Crunchyroll says the series is not recommended for minors under 12 and lists profanity, violence, and nudity. This is the platform’s advisory, not a universal rating.
