Drama Digest
The earth had overrun by a mysterious alien force known as the Neuroi, who had assumed aircraft-like bodies and spread a poisonous vapor, on an altered Earth in World War II. As a result, rather than engaging in internal conflict, the world’s armed forces have united to challenge the threat of the Neuroi. The military instead employs Witches, young girls with magical skills capable of combating the Neuroi, as ordinary weapons are ineffective against the Neuroi’s technology. Witches can use special devices known as Striker Units, which have designs based on real-life aircraft, to fly through the skies and strengthen their magical power in battle. The Witches, inspired by famous real-life pilots, develop animal ears and tails with their magic. The Suomus Independent Volunteer Aerial Squadron is the subject of the light novel series, which centers on dogfighter Tomoko Anabuki. The primary anime series centers on Yoshika Miyafuji, a Fus Empire youth who joins the titular Strike Witches to look into her father’s passing and aid in the war against the Neuroi. The Brave Witches spin-off anime series centers on a Fus girl named Hikari Karibuchi, who joins the group to battle in replacement of her injured sister Takami.
The Feel-Good Part
