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 14th volume was released in April 2025.
Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga series in English under the name Witch Hat Atelier, and it released the 13th volume in January 2025. 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, traveling 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…”
