** Shirahama pretty much outdid herself with the cover art of Volume 10 as shown above. Many fans ''adored'' the cover as the starry background not only resembles Van Gogh's Starry Night, but it highly complements the colour palette of [[CuteWitch Ininia]], who is already considered to have one of the ''prettiest'' character designs in WHA. So what happens when you mix the background of a beautiful set piece with a pretty character? One of the most ''stunning'' cover designs ever made in manga history.

** Basically, if you want to see a ''small'' collection of WHA's artwork, this list shows a wide variety of absolutely ''gorgeous'' art pieces, although links to other artworks from WHA is also presented. This includes:

* Chapter 49: For those who are sick of the [[ChivalrousPervert Chivalrous Pervert]] trope, chapter 49 will prove to be a catharsis factor on a meta-scale. In a place like manga and anime where such characters are played for laughs, just seeing such a character to be exposed as the vile predators they are, makes WHA stand out from the rest. It also not so subtlely condemns real-world societal treatment of sexual assault as well as its depictions of ''said'' assault in Japanese media.

** Moreover, her art style, specifically in terms of architecture and panelling design is heavily inspired by {{Art Nouveau}}, making it not just gorgeous to look at under an Art Nouveau lense, but also making WHA one of the few rare manga that utilises Art Nouveau as a stylistic choice as shown from the image on the right.

*** Her panelling is so important for WHA storytelling that when unproven rumours of an anime came out in late October 2021, the WHA fandom was thrown in a mixture of excitement and cold-sweat, due to how unique her panel art is. The difficulty in incorporating Shirahama's panelling into animation is noted to be on the levels of adapting ''Manga/Berserk''. Ergo, Witch Hat Atelier without the panelling is akin to Star Wars without the Force.

* Chapter 17: Credit where its due for Tartar. The moment Coco's fever spiked, he acted to cure her by working around his disability. First, he removed water from the liquid medicines, leaving behind the substances that were dissolved into them to narrow the medicine he needed down.
** And when he hits that roadblock, he and Coco come up with a magic that can reconstruct the powders into their original form so he can work from memory.

* Chapter 29: It turns out that while the girls' collective knowledge couldn't actually turn Eunie back to normal, they did restore his mind. The Brimhat himself is actually impressed.
** Richeh managed to create a PortalDoor using the knowledge that gained from Eunie and the others.
** Coco managed to steal the MagicalAccessory that can allow Eunie to regain his human form.

* Chapter 4: Coco faces an obstacle that she's practically doomed to fail by Agete, sending her off to a testing location despite the fact that she had nothing more than a few days of understanding with magic. She takes what little magic she knows and combines it with the lifetime of experience working under her mother and handling cloth to make a hang glider with its own wind-power that carries her over to the top.
* Chapter 12: The sister-apprentices showing up to save Agate and Coco from having memories erased.

* Chapter 20: When the group runs across a puzzle that requires stepping on the proper tile in order to advance without failing their test, Agate uses water to check where the tiles are broken and they pool so that they know where to go.

** Ritche managed to create a PortalDoor using the knowledge that gained from Eunie and the others.
