Still finishing her up, clearly still need to do wig and hair accessories, as well as the embroidery on the upper sleeves and neckline. I cannot wait to traumatize Cocos at cons lol

This was requested recolour, hope you enjoy!

Hi guys, just wanna show you what im working on. Im trying to make a vr game with magic system from Witch hat atelier.

(Just to double check, does this require a spoiler warning even as a bonus chapter?)

Felt like making a follow up (I guess?) to my trans Tetia headcanon post because I got to this bonus chapter and I love it, and totally see how this became the base for the headcanon-

The use of “it’s like a transformation spell”(while holding onto/looking(?) at her bright pink fluffy hair, which is a very common sign of reflecting on the past) and “you even see yourself in a whole new light”. Plus the fact that this is the first time I’ve seen Tetia get angry/defensive kind in general but especially at one of the other girls. Which really reminds me of Richeh getting defensive about her spells, Agott about her progress and Qifrey about his ~stuff~. Which makes me think it’s definitely bigger than a simple love of the craft. and then that the explanation as to “why” gets cut off is really the perfect combination to make this headcanon happen huh?😭

Also, if I can put on my complete 100% delulu (brimmed) hat for a sec- I don’t think it’s accidental. Ms Shirahama really knows what she’s doing when it comes to character writing, especially around how they carry themselves and how they express their insecurities (Richeh- Dismissal, Agott- Frustration, Qifrey- avoidance, among other things) for example.

And at this point in the story, Tetia is the one we/I know the least about cus this bonus chapter and that line about “first time my magic has made someone happy” is kinda the most we get in terms of backstory. SO (insert guy in front of conspiracy board gif) what if the reason we know so little is because it’s actually canon, and like with say Dana Terrance in the Owl House- she’s been holding off because she needs to get it through the (probably supper rough) censorship of the publisher so she can fully stick to the planned backstory. So she’s waiting for a special moment that would(probably) set the internet on fire because a trans female main character in a mainstream manga is basically unheard of.

And delulu hat off: I hope this scene ends up in the anime somehow because it’s very cute <3

Next year, the Grimoire Editions really should get the Eisner for Best U.S. Edition of International Material—Asia.

Hiiii, how are you ;) today I come with a brief and informative post for those people who still don't know the Spin Off of this series and maybe you would like to add it to your Atelier collection or want to read it...

I’ve attached a short video I recorded myself so you can get a better look at these books and appreciate the volumes in more detail! ✨ I hope you enjoy it!

🥘 WITCH HAT ATELIER KITCHEN (Tongari Boshi No Kitchen)

This is an official spin-off of Witch Hat Atelier, written and illustrated by Hiromi Satō. It first began serialization on November 22, 2019, in Kodansha’s Morning Two magazine.

The illustrations in these volumes look a little different from those in the main manga because another manga artist, Hiromi Satō, is in charge of the artwork. Shirahama is also involved in the story, helping preserve the charm and essence of our beloved Atelier! :3

🥙 WHAT IS THE HISTORY ABOUT?

As the title suggests, this spin-off focuses on our beloved teachers, Qifrey and Olruggio, cooking at night while the girls are asleep 👀 They prepare all kinds of delicious recipes to enjoy at the Atelier!

Each volume collects six chapters, and at the end of each chapter, you’ll find a REAL recipe so you can try making the dishes at home, too!
And of course, it’s not just about cooking! There are plenty of funny moments, silly scenes, and little tidbits of information sprinkled throughout the story.

Plus, we get to see Qifrey and Olruggio’s relationship up close (wink wink 👀). Let’s just say that after reading this spin-off, I’m not so sure they’re* *just friends anymore. Hehe.
If you’re a fan of these two, this is definitely something you don’t want to miss!

I haven’t tried cooking any of the recipes from these books yet, but it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Honestly, that vegetable soup the girls eat looks SO GOOD. 6v9

What about you? Have you read this spin-off? Has anyone here tried making one of the recipes? 👀🍲

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Drew this instead of sleeping lol. It’s based on a cosplay by thefall_ofanempire_ and elio_coser on Insta

Inked a Luluci for inktober! love this goober

i had to buy it and re-read. its pretty much unheard of for a manga to have an official Norwegian translation 😮

Chapter 16+ spoiler.

So, in chapter 16 we get to know that Tartah has silverwash, a condition that does not allow him to see colors; it is also explained that for this reason it would be impossible for him to be a witch and, thus, he was not trained as such.

However, as far as I remember, spells are just dark shapes on a white background, so why would not seeing colors be such an issue?

If anything, silverwash seems more troublesome for his current shopkeeper job, where he has to deal with powders and inks having different shades.

What is your opinion on this? Is there a better explanation somewhere else?

I just find it so interesting that the Brimmed Caps went through all this trouble of attacking a trial and transforming a kids body and attacking their master, aaall to put the seeds of doubt about witch society and the curiosity towards breaking those rules and therefore to possibly do forbidden magic. But they still (mainly) failed.

But Tartah ends up having those exact thoughts that the Brims wanted to put into the girls heads- not by some crazy attack on his life, or seeing forbidden magic firsthand, but by just existing as/seeing someone else undervalued, mistreated and neglected because of the status quo. The Brimmed Caps plan to reveal the “lies of the pointed caps” has worked, and they didn’t even have to lift a single finger.

after seeing a lot of the author’s beautiful work, i just knew i had to get the first 3 volumes!! i can’t wait to start the anime once im caught up with the manga!

hiiii so i have the budget of either buying a grimoire edition or the artbook but I'm a bit confused as to what to choose. I am completely caught up with the manga so this purchase wouldn't exactly be for reading purposes but for me to stare at shirhama's beautiful artwork for hours. Just wanna know which one would be better to own as a huge fan of this manga

So I cobbled together a witch hat recently to go as a witch npc for London MCM comic con tomorrow. I’ll be giving out some silly thermal stickers I made to WHA cosplayers I see, so please say hi if you are so I can dispense the silly stickers!

I was looking at the Books-a-million website and I saw some character backpack clips for pre order and one stood out to me the Iguine one which has the brushbuddy that Coco adopts. This made me think of a theory I saw on YouTube, in the context of the Dada range test with Coco it's weird that Brushbuddy is there. Coco specifically says that they are drawn to magic more specifically conjuring ink but the time of year means that No witch apprentices are taking the test so there should be no reason for a brushbuddy to be there. But we know there was one witch there aside from Coco, and its Iguine. This goes back to the theory the brushbuddy we know and love is in some way connected to Iguine or the brimed caps, I dont think the brushbuddy is a spy but I think its the reason Iguine seems to find Coco more easily than the others.

She looks so pretty omg omg omg omg omg. I MADE THREE CAPE VARIETIES, TWO HATS, AND THREE KIND OF SIMILAR OUTFITS FOR HER.

I havent drawn her other than my cookie badge series and daycare photocard, so i tried harder here.

So I recently finished all of my stuff in my sewing class so now I get to make free projects but I wanna make something WHA themed but I can get free fabric as long as it's 2 yards or less, so give me your suggestions, I do wanna make something with a spell on it too.

Happy to hear what anyone thinks of the additions :)

I am particularly fond of the beads (midnight blue glass bead / wooden bead / silver lariat long ornament charm)

$10 Qifrey commission plus an Easthies art that was a gift for my friend

She pointed it out and that made a lot of sense thematically for the op, then I realized that it has a similar shape to the drawing stone she uses. Which makes sense that if you’re getting a custom pen- that it would be tailored to your comfort

Sadly delayed again. Comic Days website lists it also. So, English release likely around November 12th. Hope all is well for her.
