Witch Hat Atelier is an adaptation of the manga by Kamome Shirahama, which features a drawing-based magic system. Kodansha USA describes the synopsis of the manga as such:
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 a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch … until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, traveling magician. After secretly seeing Qifrey perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth, and discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it may seem …
The Witch Hat Atelier manga began in 2016 in Monthly Morning Two and has 15 volumes as of November 2025. It was named Best Manga at the 37th Harvey Awards.
A spin-off manga by Hiromi Sato titled Tongari Boshi no Kitchen debuted in 2019.
