Continue readingWitch Hat Atelier
A manga about a young girl who accidentally discovers the secret behind the magic that exists in her world. Now she must train to become a witch and undo her mistakes.
We’ve discussed this on an older episode.
This manga is beautifully drawn by Kamome Shirahama. I love the concept of magic being linked with drawings as Shirahama herself says the idea came to her after someone commented about her art being like magic. While we’ve seen this premise of a student who trains in the ways of magic in series like Harry Potter, Shirahama’s amazing art work brings her magical world to life in it’s own unique way.
Available in English from Kodansha Comics.
