We too have carefully built our story, episode by episode, walking closely beside it.

And now, this journey will continue.

The story will grow larger, deeper, drawing Coco and her friends into greater discoveries and deeper understanding of magic.

New locations to explore. New characters to meet.

We will pour even greater heart into our work, filled with excitement for the adventures ahead, and bring this story vividly to life.

Please look forward to it!

◆TV Anime "Atelier of a Witch's Hat" – Work Overview

Acclaimed worldwide! Over 9 million copies in circulation!

A magnificent high fantasy depicting light and darkness within an intricately crafted world—now finally adapted into a TV anime!

"Magic"—a convenient "miracle" overflowing throughout the world, enriching people's lives and indispensable to society.

Yet, "only witches can cast magic."

In this world, it is forbidden to witness the moment magic is cast.

Coco, a young girl living in a small village helping her mother, has long dreamed of becoming a witch.

One day, she secretly watches a young witch named Keyfri perform magic, uncovering a great secret.

That secret? Anyone can use magic—if they draw a magic circle with a special tool.

A truth long hidden by witches: their "absolute secret."

Behind the magnificent, fantastical world lies a shadow—the hidden history of magic, long silenced by adults.

Born as an "ordinary child," Coco becomes Keyfri's apprentice and begins learning magic. Together with her Atelier friends, she embarks on a journey of exploration and growth, stepping deeper into the secretive world of witches.

—This is the story of children who face despair and reach out toward hope.
