What Will the Witch Hat Atelier Anime Be About?
The trailer is more atmospheric than plot-focused, but we can get a sense of some key elements from the manga that will carry into the anime. The basic plot points from the manga are hinted at throughout the trailer, showing that we’re likely to get at least some faithful elements carried over.
In the manga Witch Hat Atelier, readers get to know Coco, who dreams of being a wizard but was sadly born without any real aptitude for magic. This leads her to abandon her dream until the mysterious traveling wizard Qifrey appears in her village. After seeing him perform magic in a different way than she’s used to, Coco decides her dreams of magic may not be as impossible as she’s been led to believe.
The manga currently has 12 volumes released in Japan, so there is plenty of material for the anime to draw from.
