It has been announced that Kotono Mitsuishi will be voicing the character of the sorceress Alair in the TV anime "Atelier of Witch Hat," which is based on the manga by Kamome Shirahama.
Mitsuishi commented, "The word 'wizard' is full of longing and dreams. In fact, when I was a child, I seriously wanted to become one (laughs). But at the same time, it is a double-edged sword that comes with a sense of awe and evil. In the story of the children who aim to become 'wizards,' you won't be able to take your eyes off their emotions for even a second. Sister Alailah is a teacher who respects each child's talent. And while she trusts Kieffrey, she can't quite shake off her anxiety. Everyone, please watch 'Atelier of Witch Hat' and be enchanted by its wonderfully beautiful magic."
"Atelier of Witch Hat" tells the story of Coco, a girl who longs to be a wizard, as she steps into the mysterious world of magic. The series began serialization in "Monthly Morning Two" (Kodansha) in 2016, and has sold over 7.5 million copies. It has been selected for manga awards in France, Spain, South Korea, and other countries, and in 2020 won the Eisner Award for Best Asian Work, attracting attention from around the world.
The anime will be directed by Ayumu Watanabe and produced by BUG FILMS. It will begin airing on TOKYO MX and other channels from April 6th.
