Witch Hat Atelier 6 (Witch Hat Atelier, #6)

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.

FOLLOW THE SMOKE

Coco and her peers follow Olruggio and Luluci as they deftly ferry a wounded Qifrey to the underwater Great Hall where witches gather. To their surprise, Beldaruit of the Three Wise Ones awaits the young apprentices at the bottom of the ocean... And he's willing to offer another trial after Agott's and Richeh's was cut short. But the spells and tests of Beldaruit are as much a mystery to unfold as his past, and Coco may be the only one who can put the pieces together and close in on the startling truth...

Summary:

Coco lives in a world where magic exists. Unfortunately, she's no magician. That's the one thing she's desperately wanted to be ever since she was a little girl. However, she has also been told that magicians are born, not made. Until one day, Coco sees something that changes her life. Now, she's a witch in training.

The trials did not go as planned – to say the least. But now Coco and her fellow apprentices have a second chance. They just have to solve the puzzle. All while keeping quiet about certain details of their most recent misadventure.

Review:

Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 6 was a delight and a half to read. Seeing the underwater Great Hall for the witches was terrific! I wouldn't have guessed this one - though, in hindsight, I suppose it makes sense? Likewise, I enjoyed seeing a bit more of the magical society.

This volume did an excellent job of showing how important it is for witches (young and old) to think outside the box. Coco excels at that since she wasn't raised to look at magic the same way as everyone else.

It needs to be said: Witch Hat Atelier is too good at creating cliffhangers! Every volume ends in one. It drives me crazy, even though I love it. This one is no exception. Thankfully, my library has been an excellent source for this series.
