Witch Hat Atelier

Coco, the daughter of a modest dressmaker, has long been captivated by witches and the spellcraft they keep carefully hidden from ordinary people. When she seizes a rare chance to watch the witch Qifrey at work, she discovers a startling truth: the picture book she cherishes is actually a magic book in disguise. Unable to resist, Coco begins trying the spells for herself.

Her experimentation ends in catastrophe at home, and Qifrey intervenes in time to save her. Recognizing both her potential and the danger she’s stumbled into, he takes her on as a student—while also seeing in her a promising lead in his search for the Brimmed Caps, a heretical group tied to forbidden, body-altering magic and the spread of magical tools among commoners. Before any confrontation can happen, Coco must build real skill and learn to live and train alongside Qifrey’s other apprentices.
