    I been binging Witch Hat Atelier and I'm astounded at how cohesive a story it is. I have consumed only gacha stories for a bit, to the point I forgot how incredible a good story can be. The characters are clever, strong, and personable. Every tiny detail comes up again like a bullet. The world has so much thought and love into it, as does the magic system.

    It is quite whimsical, as appropriate for a child-protagonist. This manga tries hard to awe you with wonder and joy, and it lands wonderfully. The protag and her friends are super super cute, as are their grown-ahh adult mentors, they are super cute too.
    Speaking of the mentor characters, they never fail to be competent, which is semi-unusual for a child centric story? I wish to be as wise and caring.

    If I must complain of anything, it could only be that the artist draws Coco's "hypothetical evil form" too pretty. It makes me wish she did go bad, and that's bad! Oh, on that note the art is superb, made pause agape several, several times.

    Overall, 10/10. It does everything right, to a level I didn't even know could be done.
