I love Witch Hat Atelier so much♡

Please, read it when you have the time ☆

finally caught up on witch hat atelier!!! I LOVE COCO AND AGOTT AND RICHEH AND TETIA AND QIFREY AND OLRUGGIO SO MUCH!!!!! i love coco’s relationship with the girls especially agott and how qifrey & olruggio always prioritize the girls’ education & safety. you could feel the love they have for one another!! the beauty of magic and learning, the found family, the whimsical aspects, the dark tragic moments, all of these parts are done SO WELL. THIS MANGA IS JUST PERFECTION!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH <333333

witch hat atelier does found family so well. i love how it's so easy to see how much qifrey and olruggio care for the girls. it hasn't been long since coco joined the atelier, but she's adjusted so well it's almost like she's been there for years. watching her become closer to agott, richeh, and tetia is so beautiful to see!!! just two girl dads watching their four daughters become the best witches they can be <333

just read chapter 40 of witch hat atelier and my initial reaction was, "what the hell just happened?" but after rereading it, i think i've come to better understand qifrey's motives.

before it happens, qifrey starts to talk about how happy he is teaching the girls magic. he's at peace in his atelier, living and taking care of the four girls alongside olruggio but he still hasn't let go of what happened in his youth. in fact, the peacefulness he feels every day has made his uneasiness worse. now it isn't only just him that could be hurt. it's his precious students and olruggio that he has to lose now. there's much more at stake than there was before.

so while he begins to confess the truth, he doesn't allow olruggio to keep his memories. qifrey's trauma still haunts him even at his happiest. for some people, they would leave the horrible things in the past to enjoy the good they have in the present. but for qifrey it's an impossible thing to do. it would be so much better to have at least ONE person to confide to and have support you, but qifrey doesn't allow it. it's completely irrational and bound to create problems in the future, but it shows how far qifrey is willing to go to achieve his goal. he CHOOSES to look for answers all on his own knowing the path will be difficult.

qifrey is someone the girls look up to; we see him as a cheerful guy who is someone we can count on. but this chapter showed us that he's still that child searching for answers. it doesn't matter how much time has passed or how much wiser or stronger he has become; he can never move on from his past until he stops the brimmed caps' plan.

i wish qifrey acted in some other way or allowed himself to lean on olruggio but it adds more to his character. he's complicated; he has his own agenda, yet his love for the people in his life is undeniable. he will stop at nothing to find answers but won't endanger his loved ones to get them. this chapter was so well done, and i'm excited to see where this takes the story!

finished reading the second pentagram test arc. what a beautiful end to a fantastic arc. i loved getting to know more about richeh! at this point, each of the four girls all have made their personality and desires known which i love! they are all so different and offer something the others don’t have to the story. their differences combined make them stronger together.

we've seen how magic can cause suffering in this arc, but we also know how the young witches have the power to change it or at least make a slight difference. although euini isn't back to normal, there's hope that there is a way to save him. despite how awful magic can be, trusted adults like qifrey & olruggio give them the guidance & care to show the girls the right path.

such a beautiful arc full of character development & story progression, as well as amazing art. it's my favorite arc in wha so far!!

i started reading witch hat atelier and i’m so happy i did! not only is it absolutely beautiful but the story is so interesting!! currently on volume 3 and i’m more invested every chapter! i love coco & the girls so much along with qifrey! although the overall story is very whimsical and sweet, i love the dark undertones as well. very excited to see what comes next!

If I had a nickel for everytime I got hyperfixated on a series about a silly whimsical girl learning to become a witch (and experiencing the horrors)
