シリーズ累計100万部突破。 “失恋”から始まる、少し不器用で切ない恋物語。 「惚れ薬を作ってほしい」 湖に住む魔女ロゼは、密かに想いを寄せていた騎士ハリージュから、その一言を告げられる。 彼が想っているのは、自分ではない誰か――その現実に、ロゼは失恋する。 それでも彼の依頼を断れず、惚れ薬が完成するまでの間だけでも 一緒にいられたらと、切ない想いを胸に日々を重ねていくロゼ。 叶わぬ恋だとわかっていても、想いは消せない。 これは、不器用な引きこもり魔女×世話焼きな生真面目騎士。 惚れ薬をきっかけに紡がれる、切ない恋物語。
“Make me a love potion.” And with that single sentence, the Good Witch of the Lake’s secret crush on the dashing Sir Harij ends in heartbreak. Still, when he promises to help her gather the ingredients, Rose is thrilled at the chance to gaze upon a man she’d normally never get to interact with. She learns to brace her pounding heart for their usual stilted conversations…but what is she to do when he inexplicably shows up at her doorstep with bread and a jar of apple butter?

What people sayPublic comments from other sites
AI sentiment analysisAn AI model (claude-sonnet-5-5) rates each public comment as very positive / positive / mixed / negative / very negative (scored 9.5 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2), averages them weighted by confidence, site, length, “helpful” votes and date, then shrinks the result toward a neutral 6 (so a few comments can't inflate it).Calibrated to the site-score scale it is 7.33, and it counts toward the overall score by the number of comments (at most 35%).Only the latest ~40 comments per site are read (plus ~50 posts from each forum's episode threads, which weigh less): a sample, not everything. Excerpts are at most 140 characters and belong to their authors; comments that may contain spoilers are not shown. Comments from Chinese sites appear in an AI translation, with the original one click away. Sentiment labels can be wrong. Updated Oct 7, 2026, 06:36.See the score breakdownSentiment score6.4/10

Overall score The overall score is not a simple average but a weighted blend:
(w_P·P + w_T·T + v·R) / (w_P + w_T + v)This title: Site scores P = 7.08 (weight 48, 68%); Fan sentiment T = 7.33 (weight 23.1, 32%); Community: No ratings yet (each rating counts as one vote); P: site consensus 6.99 (1,698 votes), shrunk toward the season baseline 7.28 by vote count to 7.08.P is the consensus of site scores (calibrated to one scale), T the sentiment of public comments, R our community's mean. Each part is weighted in “virtual votes”: more votes and comments mean more weight.See the breakdown · Scoring rules in detailOverall score 7.2/10
Score breakdownThe three parts are weighted in “virtual votes”: the more site votes and analyzed comments, the more weight that part gets. Fan sentiment is capped at 35%, and each AniRanking rating counts as one vote. Full rules

Site scoresThe site consensus is 6.99 (1,698 votes, weighted by site reliability × log of votes); shrunk toward the season baseline 7.28 by vote count, it becomes 7.08. Sites score differently (Bangumi runs low, bilibili high), so each is first calibrated to one scale using titles rated on both it and AniList, then combined; sites with fewer than 100 votes are ignored.
