“In a world where only witches can cast magic, they must avoid being seen by ordinary people while casting. While Coco does her chores, she daydreams of becoming a witch. When a young witch named Qifrey visits her village, Coco uncovers the “absolute secret,” becomes Qifrey’s apprentice, and begins her studies. This is the story of children who encounter despair, yet reach out toward hope.”
The anime is based on Shirahama Kamome’s manga of the same name. Shirahama started the manga in July 2016 in Kodansha’s Morning Two magazine, and Kodansha published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in January 2017. The manga’s 16th volume was released in April 2026.
Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga series in English under the name Witch Hat Atelier, and it released the manga’s 14th volume in March 2026. It describes the manga’s story below:
“In a world where everyone takes wonders like magic spells and dragons for granted, Coco is a girl with a simple dream: She wants to be a witch. But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch…until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, travelling magician. After secretly seeing Qifrey perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth, and discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it may seem…”
