“Black Cat and the Witch’s Classroom” 2026 in Japan Ticket

Overview

The “Black Cat and the Witch’s Classroom” advance screening event offers fans an exclusive first look at the highly anticipated TV anime adaptation of Yosuke Kaneda’s hit manga. Set at the prestigious Royal Diana Academy, the story follows Spica Virgo, a spirited apprentice witch who is unable to use magic, and Claude Sirius, a legendary sorcerer cursed to live as a talking black cat. Produced by LIDENFILMS, the anime brings to life a world of astrological magic, humor, and heart, as the two protagonists form a secret master-apprentice pact to achieve their dreams.

This special event at TOHO Cinemas Ikebukuro features more than just a screening; it includes a live “Cast Greeting” (Butai Aisatsu) with the main voice acting stars. Kaede Hondo (Spica), Nobunaga Shimazaki (Claude), and Fuka Izumi (Aria) will appear on stage to discuss their roles, share behind-the-scenes stories from the recording booth, and celebrate the upcoming April 2026 broadcast premiere with the audience. It is a rare opportunity to see the voices behind the characters in an intimate theater setting.
