if you don't mind me asking, what's witch hat atelier? Professor Qifrey looks very 👀👀
I do not mind AT ALL!! Thank you for giving me the chance to talk about my newest Interest™
Witch Hat Atelier / Atelier of Witch Hat / Tongari Boushi No Atelier is a Seinen manga series by Shirahama Kamome. There are currently 9 volumes out in English (and in German), it's ongoing and an anime adaption has been announced earlier this year!
The story revolves around Coco, a young girl who always dreamt of being a witch. After she messes up a spell and accidentally turns her childhood home and her mother to stone, she is rescued/taken in by Qifrey, a witch professor, and becomes his apprentice.
But of course more trouble is coming for her quickly, as the Brimhats - a fraction of witches who practice forbidden magic - have taken a special interest in her. And even the people she trusts might not all have her best interest in mind.
I'll be honest, Witch Hat Atelier is one of the best manga series I've read so far - and I've been reading manga for a good decade now. It's whimsical, it's gentle, it's funny, exciting, and just... special. Even when it deals with heavy and complicated topics, the mangaka clearly thought about what she wants to depict and how. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to spoiler anything, but one of the reoccurring questions the manga asks is how it is supposed to be fair that only certain people get access to power (magic) and how those people get to decide what magic is 'good' and allowed and what is 'bad' and forbidden - even if the forbidden magic could help many less fortunate people.
Not to mention how absolutely gorgeous the art is.
Also, the manga has a spin off series called Kitchen of Witch Hat / Witch Hat Kitchen which is a domestic fluffy cooking manga about the people living in the atelier and it's super sweet!
TL;DR: Read Witch Hat Atelier. Do it for the brushbug.

Hi again Harmie <:) I wanted to write this to recommend you something else, but also for other things, I also wanted to thank you for the recommendations because I forgot to earlier, Even though I can't actually engage with them yet for multiple reasons, I hope to actually interact with them somewhere in the future when I'm in a better headspace <:) (Though if you could recommend some things that are more lighthearted that would be nice, only if want to of course <:) The second-
I'm Not Puttin the Other Asks Here for Sake of Brevity (And So I Remember, I Pulled Up Indistict Chatter in a Different Tab and It Looks Super Interesting. Its Gonna Be Spring Break Soon So Ill Actually Have TIME to Check Out Your Reccs :] )
ANYWAYS Anon I Reallly Do Wish You Luck on Your Journey Into Deeper Analysis. I'm Trynna Think of Any Tips I Have But Honest to God Entering With an Open Mind and Keeping an Eye Out for Reoccurring Anything, Symbol, Musical Sting, Line of Dialogue, Similar Occurrence, All That Will Help. Most Things Are Made With Atleast One Layer More of Meaning, if Something Doesn't Make Sense or Seems Confusing Think About What Could Help Explain It, Not in an In-Universe Way But If This Absence is Purposeful or Atleast Could Add to a Thesis Regarding Your Own Interpretation (Like With Your TPOS Example I Am Pretty Certain The Creator Wasn't Thinking About The Nature of The Self But There is Something There). You Can Draw Meaning From Works Not Originally Intended By the Creator, and Everyone Can Take Something Different From It Too. Being Open to Other Interpretations of Things You May Have Missed Also Helps a Lot, I Know Ive Watched and Enjoyed Movies and Then Talked to My Friends Who Picked Up On Unsavory Undertones I Missed and Thats Not a Moral Failing At All!
Overall What Helped Me Figure Out How Im Gonna Analyze and Engage With Media is Knowing Nothing That Happens on the Screen is Real or Accidental, Its There Because a Person Put it There Intentionally or Otherwise, and Trying to Discern Meaning From That Can Be Very Rewarding.
Movie Reccs Below Readmore
On a Happier Media Side I'm Going to Class Soon So I Cant Provide the Best Content Warnings RN, Check DoestheDogDie.Com, But Imma Fire Off a Few Movies That are Relatively Lighthearted In Tone But Still Worth Watching and Considering: Truman Show (Its Good for Starting to Think About Movies Deeper But Again If Youre Delusional Be a Little Wary Here), Magnolia, Dreams By Kurosawa, Paprika, and Night's Short Walk On Girl. Have a Good Day Anon and I Wish You Luck :]
