Witch Hat Atelier, Volume 1 opens the door to one of the most visually stunning and emotionally rich fantasy manga of the decade. From Eisner Award-nominated creator Kamome Shirahama comes a story where magic is not a birthright — but a secret drawn by hand. In a world where only the chosen few are allowed to cast spells, young Coco has always dreamed of flying on a broom. But she was born without magic. Or so she believed. One night, she witnesses a witch drawing intricate symbols in the air — and discovers the forbidden truth: anyone who can draw can use magic. The knowledge comes with a cost. When Coco accidentally casts a spell that turns her mother to stone, a mysterious witch named Qifrey takes her under his pointed hat. Now she must learn the ancient art of magical drawing — before the secret she carries consumes everything.

• Desperate to try, Coco draws a forbidden spell she saw in a book — and accidentally turns her own mother into stone.

• The Knights of the Forbidden Spell arrive to arrest her. Qifrey intervenes, claiming Coco as his apprentice.
