nerd teacher [books] reviewed Witch Hat Atelier, Vol. 01 by Kamome Shirahama (Witch Hat Atelier, #1)
Absolutely Beautiful
5.0 stars
This is probably one of the most beautiful manga that I've encountered, both in terms of the art (with all the incredible detailing) and the story. The art almost requires such detailing, especially with all the minor differences that are told through it; it also is necessary because of all the seals that are being drawn and shown, which are the magic that the witches cast.
I adore all of the relationship setups and the characterisation that is given to every character. Even the most difficult to like character (Agott) still has her own charms, highlighting that she's a bit more complex than her attitude makes her appear.
When Nolnoa makes an appearance, he practically steals the show. Just a fantastic introduction.
