Written and illustrated by Piroya, The Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch was initially a one-shot published in Flex Comix's Comic Meteor website on July 11, 2018.

[1][14] It was produced by A-Real and directed by Masahiro Takata, who also served as sound director, with scripts written by Gyro Knuckle, character designs by Miwa Yoshida, and music composed by Myu [ja].

[18] 207-year-old witch Alyssa finds an abandoned human baby and raises her as her daughter named Viola.

Alyssa worries Viola might become a rebellious teen and considers becoming strict, but due to her doting nature decides against it.

Seeing Alyssa and Viola now makes Lira wonder about her son, a rebellious teenager often in need of punishment.

Giriko and Luna visit with a magic photo album that displays memories, allowing Viola to see them as children.

Viola sees they allowed their childhood hobbies of gardening, tarot cards, and crafting to become their careers of herbalist, fortune teller, and magic item engineer.

Fennel pushes Glind to not give up, selfishly hoping if Viola takes a lover, he can get closer to Alyssa.

Glind is enamored of the elves' village, said to be populated by beautiful elf maidens with new magic and excellent archers.

A week later, Phoenix is still a chicken so Alyssa and Viola take him to see nurse sisters Sheeta and Kicla.

Sheeta gets her under control allowing the doctor to examine him, who determines Phoenix has been constipated since eating Luna's food.

Viola notices Alyssa is not herself following news of the upcoming visitor but neither Giriko, Luna, or Lira will tell her.

Later, from his hospital bed, he admits he did not want Viola specifically to see him, suggesting he has a crush on her, to Pondo's delight.

In Viola's absence, Toxic Koala becomes wantonly destructive, completely destroying the house in a tantrum against Phoenix's orders as senior familiar.
