Fans of Secrets of the Silent Witch eagerly anticipate Episode 5, which is scheduled to premiere on August 1, 2025. This episode continues the anime adaptation of Matsuri Isora’s light novel series, animated by Studio Gokumi. The series follows Monica Everett, the “Silent Witch,” as she undertakes a top-secret mission to guard the Second Prince while maintaining her cover and battling her extreme shyness.
Release Schedule and Where to Watch
Secrets of the Silent Witch began airing in July 2025 and is slated for a 13-episode first season. New episodes are released weekly.
Global and Japanese Streaming
For viewers outside of Asia, Crunchyroll is streaming Secrets of the Silent Witch with English subtitles. The English dub for Episode 5 is also expected to be available on the same day as the subtitled release.
In Japan, the anime airs on several television networks, including Tokyo MX, Tochigi TV, BS11, Yomiuri TV, Gunma TV, and TV Aichi. Japanese streaming platforms such as ABEMA, U-NEXT, and d Anime Store also offer the episodes.
Potential Plot for Episode 5
While specific plot details for Episode 5 of the anime are not yet publicly released, the series is based on the popular light novel by Matsuri Isora. Therefore, looking at the light novel’s content can give an indication of what might occur.
Drawing from Light Novel Volume 5
The fifth volume of Secrets of the Silent Witch light novel focuses on Monica’s winter vacation plans being disrupted when she is again tasked with guarding the Second Prince, Felix, this time in her official capacity as the Silent Witch. She must accompany him on a diplomatic mission to the Kingdom of Farfolia, all while ensuring he doesn’t realize that she, the renowned Silent Witch, and Monica Norton, his fellow student, are the same person. Adding to the complexity, an ominous sign in the stars suggests an out-of-season dragon raid is imminent for the Kingdom of Ridill. This volume explores whether the notoriously shy witch can outsmart her biggest fan and handle the mounting stress and new threats.
Given that anime adaptations typically cover several light novel chapters per episode, it’s possible that elements from this fifth volume, particularly the diplomatic mission and the challenge of maintaining Monica’s dual identity, could be featured in or around Episode 5, depending on the pacing of the adaptation.
