Chapter 78 is now available in Japanese! This chapter comes with the publishing of this very sweet illustration of young Agott. An official colouring of her old robes! She has such a different attitude to the Agott we know today - how curious!
Following a hiatus, Chapter 52 of Kitchen of Witch Hat has also been published! I've not seen any indication that it'll return to monthly publishing, but any updates from Sato are good to see. Hopefully she takes her recovery at her own pace!
[ID: A coloured illustration of a younger Agott, still with long hair and her old robes. The robes have a pink and white colour scheme, with a fucshia outer robe and dusty pink robe over a long white dress. She appears sheepish or bashful with a small smile on her face, wide eyes, her fingers knitting together and her feet shifting. The background is a red board with a gold frame upon which are numerous pages of magic runes. They are not complete glyphs - they instead appear to be the magic used to represent animals in sculpture magic. END ID]
if i had a nickel for everytime a man (illegally) adopted a kid without informing his tired black-haired housemate with awful posture i'd have two nickels- which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Reading through Witch Hat Atelier, extremely slowly because the art is amazing and I have to stop to marvel at every chapter. Everything about this series is a delight thus far, I would definitely recommend it.
(This is a panel redraw from the first chapter. I'm only on the second.)
An illustration of Richeh that Shirahama posted to her twitter today. Also, a doodle of Tetia which I had missed previously!
First Image [ID: A coloured illustration of Richeh. She is sat on a rock in water, holding out a stick and watching calmly as Brushbug (who is wrapped around the other end of the stick) reaches his tiny hands towards a small red fruit floating in the water, trying to grab it. END ID]
Second Image [ID: A photo of a simple line illustration on grey paper. The illustration is of Tetia, holding a larger-than life branch of blossoms in her arms. The illustration is finished with white ink highlights. Below the paper there are glass vessels and a dip pen, along with black ink used in the illustration. END ID]
