Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - とんがり帽子のアトリエ 9 Tongari Boushi no Atelier 9

The weaving of the story thread is insane. I'm overblown with the details, the characters and all their own little stories at the side of the "main" one. Kamome Shirahama can tell a story with such delicate detail it leaves me in awe. Can't wait to continue the series in volume 10!

I deeply appreciate the way sa was treated in this volume. It felt healing and empowering. I also appreciate the warning and the message that you could skip the chapter if it was triggering for you. So far, the way the author has treated all these important topics have been excellent. Definitely my favourite manga by far. I hope for many success and health in the future for Kamome Shirahama 💕

I left a longer review of the series on the first book, and my review/opinion still stays the same.

I absolutely love Witch Hat Atelier and I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves lovable characters who get plenty of character development, a good fantasy story with that with a cool magic system, beautifully inspirational art styles, a complex story that makes you question what is considered "good" or "bad" and a great deal of silly adventures and fun!

I always read my manga online, but with this series I make sure to buy a physical copy every time a new volume's printed version comes out.

The story, plot, characters, world, magic-system and art are all simply amazing in my eyes and I can't wait for more updates in the future!

This volume has lots going on, from the start of the Silver Eve festival to the introduction of the King of Ezrest and the Three Wise witches together. The standout moment for me was the chapter on the Knight of Moralis Luluci's backstory, and how the author handled the issue of peeping as an active form of sexual assault that must be punished just as any other form of sexual assault. It was refreshing to see the harm that victims suffer from acts such as voyeurism not be downplayed, and to see the importance of consent talked about. It also goes deeper into the morality of the rules of the Day of the Pact, and whether it is okay to lie to civilians about magic and its supposed limitations. Coco and Tartah show so much development as they struggle to reconcile the two conflicting sides of the argument and I can't wait to see what they eventually do about it.
