'''Tongari Booshi no Atorie''' (''Witch Hat Atelier'' or ''Atelier of Witch Hat'' in english) is a fantasy manga by Shirahama Kamome.
Coco is the young daughter of a seamstress and loves magic. One day, they are visited by a group of wealthy women and the witch Qifrey. She watches secretly as he fixes a broken chariot and realizes that magic is actually done by drawing glyphs. She uses a strange book she got from a witch when she was young to try casting magic by herself and accidentally causes her mother to be turned into stone and her house to be set on fire, she is rescued by Qifrey, and, in order to save her mother, Coco joins him as an apprentice of witch.
!Tropes
* BanOnMagic: The true of the witches. Anyone can use magic, as long as they can draw glyphs and have access to a magic ink, the free access to magic caused the world to go into mayhem, so the most responsible magic users have created a set of rules for users and erased the memory of the rest of the population, making them believe that the witches are almost a separated species altogether and most people can't use magic. One of the rules is that no magic can be used in human bodies, not even healing, with the exception of memory manipulation, and only in order to keep the truth about witches a secret.
* DisappearedDad: Coco's father passed away from an illness years prior to the plot. Her mother is deadly afraid of Coco eventually leaving her.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** [[GenkiGirl Tetia]], one of Coco's sister apprentices, is introduced happily telling her not to fear magic and helping her use the waterdrop buoy, a magical item that draws moisture from the air. She also thanks Coco for thanking her because [[GoodFeelsGood she likes being thanked]].
** [[EmotionlessGirl Riche]], another sister apprentice, is introduced by telling Coco not humor Tetia or else she won't shut up. She states that by staying quiet, Tetia will eventually give up.
** [[TheLancer Agete]] is first shown flowing into her room by the window using magical tools and asking Coco to move away so she can land. She doesn't even look in her direction when presenting herself and although she feels sorry for what happened to Coco's mother, she is quick to say that her mother will never be human again and that it's Coco's fault.
* GenkiGirl: Tetia.
* TheHerosJourney: Coco's story sets off following a traditional footsteps of the beginning within the first chapter. She lives a normal life and gets visited by Qifrey the witch, with her mother mentioning she believed that Coco wanted to leave with Qifrey. She learns that people can use magic by drawing and starts making several glyphs, which accidentally cause her home to be destroyed and her mother to be turned into stone. Following this, she begs Qifrey, who needs her memory intact to track down the witch who sold her the magic book, to keep her memory, so she can heal her mother, but this causes her to become now his newest apprentice on her way to become a full fledged witch.
* KarmaHoudini: Agate forces Coco in a test she is not ready to and could have very well died in the process, but she doesn't get punished by their professor nor does it seems that anyone holds her accountable for that, given that Coco was capable of coming back just rather dirty but without injuries.
* LennonSpecs: Qifrey uses a pair of these, often keeping one of his eyes hidden.
* TheMentor: Qifrey, is this to Coco and his other apprentices. Apparently, it's common for witches to take people under their, in order to keep the witch community alive, but they only choose those capable of keeping the secret.
* MuggleBornOfMages: Played with. Coco is born from a normal family with no ties to the witch community, but she goes on to become a witch when she learns that magic can actually be used by anyone with magic ink.
* NiceGirl: Coco and Tetia are friendly and lvely girls who like to help others.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Coco's sister apprentices fit this, Tetia is the nice, to Agate's mean and Riche's in-between.
* NobodyPoops: Averted, the witches have access to a void toilet that discard everything in it into the abyss, so they have this magical sanitary system in their bathrooms.
* NotQuiteFlight: Soar-shoes. A pair of shoes with a float glyph on the soles that allow the user to fly when the glyph is completed by pressing the shows together. They seem to be part of the standard witch clothes as all apprentices and witches have them.
* PortalDoor: Date Windows, they can connect one window to another that has the same design.
* RealityEnsues:
** Drawing, even if it's magic, is an acquired skill that takes time and work to develop. The Glyphs that the witches draw are very precise technical drawings that require near perfect circles and straight lines as well as other geometrical form, with even the smallest disparity in sizes making a difference when they are used, so the newbie Coco ends up making bad spells due to her incapacity of drawing. She still struggles with it when she gets taken as an apprentice by Qifrey, and he also has trouble teaching her, because he never had to work with someone without previous knowledge.
*** Furthermore, Coco actually has some skill at drawing, but not with the tools or the technical needs of magic, so she has to relearn things to a certain degree. She is capable of making better glyphs during her test by getting a stone and making an improvised version of the tool she used in her mother's atelier.
** At one point Qifrey opens the gate Windows to a hill full of floating petals, in order to show Coco that magic can bring happiness to people. Afterwards however, the wind blowing and the petal falling cause the room to be filled with them and they have to clean it up.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: Qifrey intended to originally erase Coco's memory, because she learned the truth about witches. It's a common technique and accepted by the witch community to erase the memory of anyone who finds out about the witch secret.
* TakenForGranite: Coco's mother fate when she accidentally uses a dangerous glyph.
* TeamPet: Brushbug, a small creature attracted by magic that befriends Coco during her test at the Dada Mountains.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Coco is often amazed at all the magic items she finds and how her sister apprentices and master are capable of using magic, to them, however, this is absolutely mundane.

!Tropes
* BanOnMagic: The true of the witches. Anyone can use magic, as long as they can draw glyphs and have access to a magic ink, the free access to magic caused the world to go into mayhem, so the most responsible magic users have created a set of rules for users and erased the memory of the rest of the population, making them believe that the witches are almost a separated species altogether and most people can't use magic. One of the rules is that no magic can be used in human bodies, not even healing, with the exception of memory manipulation, and only in order to keep the truth about witches a secret.
* DisappearedDad: Coco's father passed away from an illness years prior to the plot. Her mother is deadly afraid of Coco eventually leaving her.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** [[GenkiGirl Tetia]], one of Coco's sister apprentices, is introduced happily telling her not to fear magic and helping her use the waterdrop buoy, a magical item that draws moisture from the air. She also thanks Coco for thanking her because [[GoodFeelsGood she likes being thanked]].
** [[EmotionlessGirl Riche]], another sister apprentice, is introduced by telling Coco not humor Tetia or else she won't shut up. She states that by staying quiet, Tetia will eventually give up.
** [[TheLancer Agete]] is first shown flowing into her room by the window using magical tools and asking Coco to move away so she can land. She doesn't even look in her direction when presenting herself and although she feels sorry for what happened to Coco's mother, she is quick to say that her mother will never be human again and that it's Coco's fault.
* GenkiGirl: Tetia.
* TheHerosJourney: Coco's story sets off following a traditional footsteps of the beginning within the first chapter. She lives a normal life and gets visited by Qifrey the witch, with her mother mentioning she believed that Coco wanted to leave with Qifrey. She learns that people can use magic by drawing and starts making several glyphs, which accidentally cause her home to be destroyed and her mother to be turned into stone. Following this, she begs Qifrey, who needs her memory intact to track down the witch who sold her the magic book, to keep her memory, so she can heal her mother, but this causes her to become now his newest apprentice on her way to become a full fledged witch.
* KarmaHoudini: Agate forces Coco in a test she is not ready to and could have very well died in the process, but she doesn't get punished by their professor nor does it seems that anyone holds her accountable for that, given that Coco was capable of coming back just rather dirty but without injuries.
* LennonSpecs: Qifrey uses a pair of these, often keeping one of his eyes hidden.
* TheMentor: Qifrey, is this to Coco and his other apprentices. Apparently, it's common for witches to take people under their, in order to keep the witch community alive, but they only choose those capable of keeping the secret.
* MuggleBornOfMages: Played with. Coco is born from a normal family with no ties to the witch community, but she goes on to become a witch when she learns that magic can actually be used by anyone with magic ink.
* NiceGirl: Coco and Tetia are friendly and lvely girls who like to help others.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Coco's sister apprentices fit this, Tetia is the nice, to Agate's mean and Riche's in-between.
* NobodyPoops: Averted, the witches have access to a void toilet that discard everything in it into the abyss, so they have this magical sanitary system in their bathrooms.
* NotQuiteFlight: Soar-shoes. A pair of shoes with a float glyph on the soles that allow the user to fly when the glyph is completed by pressing the shows together. They seem to be part of the standard witch clothes as all apprentices and witches have them.
* PortalDoor: Date Windows, they can connect one window to another that has the same design.
* RealityEnsues:
** Drawing, even if it's magic, is an acquired skill that takes time and work to develop. The Glyphs that the witches draw are very precise technical drawings that require near perfect circles and straight lines as well as other geometrical form, with even the smallest disparity in sizes making a difference when they are used, so the newbie Coco ends up making bad spells due to her incapacity of drawing. She still struggles with it when she gets taken as an apprentice by Qifrey, and he also has trouble teaching her, because he never had to work with someone without previous knowledge.
*** Furthermore, Coco actually has some skill at drawing, but not with the tools or the technical needs of magic, so she has to relearn things to a certain degree. She is capable of making better glyphs during her test by getting a stone and making an improvised version of the tool she used in her mother's atelier.
** At one point Qifrey opens the gate Windows to a hill full of floating petals, in order to show Coco that magic can bring happiness to people. Afterwards however, the wind blowing and the petal falling cause the room to be filled with them and they have to clean it up.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: Qifrey intended to originally erase Coco's memory, because she learned the truth about witches. It's a common technique and accepted by the witch community to erase the memory of anyone who finds out about the witch secret.
* TakenForGranite: Coco's mother fate when she accidentally uses a dangerous glyph.
* TeamPet: Brushbug, a small creature attracted by magic that befriends Coco during her test at the Dada Mountains.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Coco is often amazed at all the magic items she finds and how her sister apprentices and master are capable of using magic, to them, however, this is absolutely mundane.
