Witch Hat Atelier 1 tells the tale of Coco, a girl who dreams of becoming a witch in a world where magic is a given, and wonders like spells and dragons are taken for granted. However, everyone knows that magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with a gift for magic. Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch...

...until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, travelling magician. After secretly observing Qifrey perform magic like she's never seen before, Coco soon learns that what everyone "knows" might not be the truth. She discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it seems.
