To save her mother, who was turned to stone by a forbidden spell she herself had drawn, and to pursue clues about the "witch in the wide-brimmed hat" who had given her a picture book when she was little, Coco becomes an apprentice to the wizard Kieffrey. At the atelier, the school where she goes to begin her training to become a wizard, she meets three other girls who are also Kieffrey's apprentices: Agate, Tetia, and Riche.
"Atelier of Witch Hat" tells the story of Coco, a girl from a small village who longed to be a wizard but had given up on her dream. One day, she witnesses a wizard named Kieffrey using magic when he visits her village, and learns a big secret...
