'''''Witch Hat Atelier''''' (Japanese ''とんがり帽子のアトリエ'', Hepburn ''Tongari Bōshi no Atorie'') is a [[Manga]] written and illustrated by Kamome Shirahama, first published in Japanese in 2016 in the [[Seinen]] magazine ''Monthly Morning Two'', and in English in 2019. A spin off, ''Kitchen of Witch Hat'', is available only in Japanese
Coco is a young girl with a deep and profound interest in magic. Her pursuit to become a witch, however, is stopped by the fact that she knows witches are born, not trained nor taught. That view is shattered when the witch Qifrey arrives at her village in a flying Pegasus carriage. Coco watches Qifrey cast magic, and discovers how magic really works. A person doesn't have to be born with innate abilities to cast magic! Instead, they draw runes and symbols on paper, topped off with a ring to make the spell work.
Line 13:
Knowing this, Coco traces over a basic rune, casts a light spell, fire spell, figures out the basics of spellcasting... and casts forbidden [[Black Magic]] that turns her mum into stone which destroys her house. Well, Coco now has no choices ''but'' to become a witch's apprentice. Thus, she and Qifrey travels to his atelier and becomes his apprentice. The manga focuses on the (mis)adventures of Coco, her mentors, and the other apprentice girls at the atelier: the quiet and reclusive Richeh, the enthusiastic and outgoing Tetia, and the academic and focused Agott.
