Witch Hat Atelier Volumes 7-9 by Kamome Shirahama
☀️☀️☀️☀️

This series only grows in maturity and complexity as it goes on, and I appreciate the darker themes explored throughout these volumes without losing the sense of hope and joy at its heart. Not just accepting the good and bad sides of magic at face value, we are shown the various shades in between through side characters whose importance increases, as well as integral players like Qifrey. Some supporting characters take a backseat to the changing plot but it never feels forced or awkward. I personally found volume 9 weaker in comparison but overall the story is progressing nicely and I'm eager to continue!
