Synopsis

Coco, a humble dressmaker's daughter, has always been fascinated by magic and the witches who cast it, despite the strict precautions they take to hide their methods from the public. However, when Coco takes advantage of a golden chance to spy on the skilled witch Qifrey, she realizes that her favorite picture book was a disguised magic book all along! In her excitement, she immediately starts testing out the various spells.

When a spell causes a disaster in her home, Qifrey rescues her just in time and decides to train her, realizing that she is the first lead he has found that could help him track down the Brimmed Caps—a dangerous group of heretics who experiment with forbidden body-altering magic and spread magical artifacts among the commoners. But before Coco and Qifrey can confront the Brimmed Caps, she is going to have to improve her magical skills and learn to get along with Qifrey's other apprentices.

Preliminary (75/? eps)
When a fantastic setting, great artwork, a good story, and compelling characters come together, that's Witch Hat Atelier. After many recommendations, I recently read the manga, and yes, it's worth it. Fantastic world-building, wonderful, unique characters who find their strength in their interactions, and a great sense of mystery that raises many exciting and thought-provoking questions, leaving you wanting to read more. The antagonist group, I think, might not be so wrong in their views, which is why I find them so incredibly intriguing. What I absolutely love, though, is our group of protagonists, who work together brilliantly, even if they're not always harmonious. One ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (79/? eps)
This is the dumbest plot I ever read. Everyone as an adult leadership is crazy and the reason for not using certain spells has no sense.
It frustrates me to read it, and see the only ones who think about a solution are the kids making all the adults look like idiots.
All the guards can burn in hell. No exception.
The author keeps too long in a single plot that could have been solved earlier if the main character had stopped talking.

Preliminary (50/? eps)
Witch Hat Atelier is like the demon slayer version of Shoujo manga. I know it's technically Seinen, but that's just what I think.

First off, let's start with the showstopper. The art. It's phenomenal. I probably haven't seen any storyboarding and art so well drawn. If Yusuke Murata, who draws OPM is highly technical, then Witch Hat Atelier's art is more creative and still has highly elaborate design and technical skills.

However, what else does the manga have to offer? Ultimately, it follows the same formula that shounen mangas do, which is to introduce a character with "dangerous abilities," one that needs to be ...
