Witch Hat Atelier 1 by Kamome Shirahama

Witch Hat Atelier 1 (Witch Hat Atelier, #1)

by Kamome Shirahama

A beautifully-illustrated story about a girl who longs for magic in her life and learns that, on the inside, she already is what she wishes she could be. Reminiscent of Studio Ghibli, this lushly-drawn story was voted one of the top 10 manga of the year in 2018 by the Japanese manga industry. In a world where everyone takes wonders like magic spells and dragons for granted, Coco is a girl with a simple dream: She wants to be a witch. But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with the gift for magic. She's resigned to her un-magical life, until a travelling magician passes through her village, and Coco learns what everybody 'knows' might not be the truth.

This is such a good first volume! The art is phenomenal and it has some really fantastic world building, plus the added mystery of why all of this has been set in motion. I am completely ready to dig into the next one.
