I am so glad I gave this a try. This is the first manga I’ve read that I felt captivated by. Shirahama-sensei’s worldbuilding is impeccable, the landscapes, buildings, clothing, language, and magic properties are fascinating and detailed. I love the characters, they all have strong personalities and designs. Coco is such a fun protagonist and I can’t wait to see more of her story. The art is absolutely stunning, the texturing is so masterful the pages come to life. The compositions add great tone to the story, I love how subtle yet impactful the art is in weaving the undertones of the story. This is the perfect story for me, as I love magic, adventure, fantasy, and stories that are lighthearted and coated with great emotional depth. The story progresses at a solid pace with so much to love. I look forward to reading more!

A fun start to a new series! I like the premise of how magic works in the world and how their history is directly tied to current power structures and classism. And while we haven't gotten a lot from the other students yet, they have distinct personalities and I'm very interested to see where it goes in future volumes.

This first volume is fantastic. The half point off is for the information dumps. I don’t find them overwhelming but some might. If you like something that’s like entering magical world but with a Studio Ghibli-esque sensibility.

There isn’t any death but arguably what is there might be just as or more traumatic than death. A certain character acts cruel toward our protagonist but she is ultimately too friendly to really get angry at this other character. There is an antagonistic presence in this volume but it’s more like a riff on the “old crone” possibly mixed with the “old mentor” trope if I read the story queue’s right. I’m excited to read more.ye_li's review against another edition

Witch Hat Atelier is one of the most engaging, beautiful manga that I have ever read. From the intricate magic system that is introduced, to the nuanced world, and fascinating characters, I can already tell this is going to be a new favorite.
