The official Twitter account of the Comic Meteor web magazine announced a television anime adaptation of Piroya's Dekoboko Majo no Oyako Jijou (The Family Circumstances of the Mismatched Witches) manga on Friday. Piroya posted an illustration commemorating the announcement (pictured above).

Comic Meteor began serializing the slice of life fantasy web manga in July 2018. Flex Comix published the third volume last November. The fourth volume, which goes on sale on Monday, features the anime announcement on its wraparound band.

Synopsis
Alyssa, a witch who lives alone in the forest, picks up a human baby one day. Despite her confusion, Alyssa named the baby Viola and decided to raise her. 16 years later, Viola had not only grown into a daughter who adores Alyssa, but also into a woman of exceptional proportions, and the people around them mistook Viola for Alyssa's mother.

A slice of life told by a mother and daughter who were inverted in appearance and full of gags! Parent and child deliver a hilariously funny comedy!

I know this is probably a translation from someone else since I'm seeing it everywhere, but "Unreliable Witch" seems like a bad translation.;; The idea is that the tall one is the child and the short one is the parent-- "大きい娘と小さい母" to quote directly. So big daughter and little mother. That being said, it's more like "mismatched witches" or "unbalanced/imbalanced/uneven witches", not "unreliable witch". The Family Circumstances of the Mismatched Witches would probably be a little better, though not perfect. Additionally, there's nothing notably unreliable about either of them, so that title in English doesn't even really make sense.;; Hopefully, folks will have a better translation for the title later.

Anyway, the manga is cute and I really look forward to the anime! I honestly never thought it'd get an anime! I'm also excited to see the phoenix in action. lol

The art style is actually what I like the most about this so far lol.

I liked the synopsis and proposal of the anime but the art is horrible, I'll wait for a PV.

Both examples are cursed and people overall are glad those did not received a sequel.
So, it IS possible, unfortunately.

Cope.

No, actually. Unless they decide to make a sequel and show us this cursed ending, there is no reason to cope.

I hope this will take a certain direc- ehm
What I meant is, this looks like a funny comedy and nothing more.

Anilist says this is yuri, but no other anime database mentions that, not even mangaupdates/Baka-Updates, and i trust them more, so if this isn't yuri or incest, i'm gonna add it to my PTW! :3

Judging by the image alone it looks like it could be fun.

I don't think yuri shipping was intended in this work. Rather, it is a typical parent SoL.

I know at least two anime, in which adoptive father eventually married his adoptive daughter later in the source material.

We are just talking about these shows, and in them the romance was conceived from the very beginning. Especially in that fantasy one. Piroya is not Takato Rui or the author Akame (forgot his name) to do works yuri, ignoring any logic of the plot.

It's probably going to be a short, but at least it's going to be a fun ride.

I'm going to enjoy this one for sure lol

Oh, so this is the parent and child focused manga where it will be ok to ship the two.

This will be very enjoyable to see, so many laughs it will give.

This premise is a bit sus to me. We've got "the adult looks like a minor!" and "the minor looks like an adult!" combined into the same story. Dunno if I'm gonna like the humor derived from that. >_>

That being said, I'm adding it to my PTW list and giving it a chance when it comes out. It might surprise me.

Seems like this'll be a fun watch.

More like i was referring to the Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba and Usagi Drop.

Well, in those works, romance was conceived from the very beginning. It's more of a weird family gag.
