Witch Hat Atelier

Tongari Boushi no Atelier — Seasonal Pick, Spring 2026. Adapted from Kamome Shirahama's manga by Studio BUG FILMS. 1
  • Studio: BUG FILMS · Episodes: 13 · MAL Score: 8.71
  • Airing: Since April 6, 2026 · Genre: Fantasy
Coco has always wanted to be a witch. Magic is a birthright she wasn't given — until she glimpses a spell being cast and discovers the secret the witch world guards above all else. Then her curiosity costs her everything. That setup resolves inside episode 1. No warm-up arc, no filler. What follows is a coming-of-age story built around hand-drawn magical geometry — every spell looks like a page torn from a beautiful, dangerous book.
If you liked:
  • Kiki's Delivery Service — the warmth of a girl finding her place in the magical world
  • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End — quiet pacing, exceptional craft, fantasy that earns its emotion
