Synopsis of Witch Hat Atelier

Coco, the daughter of a humble dressmaker, has always been fascinated by magic and the witches who make it, despite the strict precautions they take to hide their methods from the public. However, when Coco takes advantage of a golden opportunity to spy on the skilled witcher Qifrey, she realizes that her favorite picture book was a magic book in disguise from the start. In his excitement, he immediately begins to try out the various spells.

When a spell causes disaster in her house, Qifrey rescues her just in time and decides to train her, realizing that it is the first clue he has found and that it could help him locate the Brimmed Caps, a dangerous group of heretics who experiment with forbidden magic that alters the body and spread magical artifacts among commoners. But before Coco and Qifrey can take on the Brimmed Caps, she'll have to improve her magical skills and learn how to get along with Qifrey's other apprentices.
