Coco has long dreamed of becoming a witch. However, only those born with magic can become witches. Her attempts to push past this limitation result in an unfortunate incident. A great witch appears to care for her and help undo her mistake. We’ll see if she can achieve her dream and fix what she broke when Witch Hat Atelier (Tongari Boushi no Atelier) premieres sometime in April 2026.
Kamome Shirahama released the original Witch Hat Atelier manga series on July 22nd, 2016. Kodansha has since published fifteen volumes in Morning Two.

Welcome to the Witch Hat Atelier
Coco has wanted to become a witch ever since she met a mysterious witch who sold her a picture book and a wand pen at the castle fair. She didn’t let the fact that witches are born with magic completely temper her magical dreams. Her widowed mother tries to keep her more grounded, but Coco continues to be in awe of the magic she sees every day.
A flying chariot arrives at her family’s dress shop to purchase some of their finery. Coco runs into a mysterious man who calls her dress-making abilities a sign of true magic, though she dismisses her talent as mundane. She secretly watches the man use rune magic to repair the chariot after her friends accidentally damage it. Her attempts to replicate the magic using the picture book and pen wand result in disaster. The man rescues her and offers to teach her his ways so she can mend the damage. He’s also suspicious of the man who sold her the book and wand in the first place.
