Witch Hat Atelier — Series Information
Synopsis
"Magic"—a "miracle" that overflows throughout the world, enriching people's lives and serving as an indispensable part of daily existence. However, there is a catch: "Only witches can cast magic." It is the law of this world that the moment magic is cast must never be seen by others.
Coco, a young girl living in a small village helping her mother, has dreamed of being a witch since she was a child. One day, she catches a glimpse of the traveling witch Qifrey using his powers and discovers a massive secret. The "Absolute Secret" hidden by witches is that anyone can use magic if they draw a magic circle with special tools.
Beneath the surface of this magnificent and fantastical world lies a dark history of magic that adults refuse to speak of. Born as an "Unknowing One" (a normal child) but now learning magic as Qifrey’s apprentice, Coco steps into a world of many secrets, searching for growth and discovery alongside her new companions at the atelier.
This is a story of children who learn despair, yet reach out toward hope.
