The weaving of the story thread is insane. I'm overblown with the details, the characters and all their own little stories at the side of the "main" one. Kamome Shirahama can tell a story with such delicate detail it leaves me in awe. Can't wait to continue the series in volume 10!

This volume has lots going on, from the start of the Silver Eve festival to the introduction of the King of Ezrest and the Three Wise witches together. The standout moment for me was the chapter on the Knight of Moralis Luluci's backstory, and how the author handled the issue of peeping as an active form of sexual assault that must be punished just as any other form of sexual assault. It was refreshing to see the harm that victims suffer from acts such as voyeurism not be downplayed, and to see the importance of consent talked about. It also goes deeper into the morality of the rules of the Day of the Pact, and whether it is okay to lie to civilians about magic and its supposed limitations. Coco and Tartah show so much development as they struggle to reconcile the two conflicting sides of the argument and I can't wait to see what they eventually do about it.

Manga and anime often have a problem with normalising sexual assault, so to read a manga that not only includes a trigger warning and tells you which page to go to to skip the sexual violence, but also treats the whole topic with seriousness and support for victims is such a relief. In a sea of sexist boundary-breaking ecchi content, even in manga that is primarily a different genre than ecchi, Witch Hat Atelier is a safe harbour.
Shirahama-san has managed to create a diverse fantasy world with a central moral conflict (magic and the laws limiting its use) and moral ambiguity and I'm excited to see where she will take us.

Moderate: Sexual assault and Violence
Le chapitre 49 mentionne une agression sexuelle vécue et vue par l'un des personnages (adolescente au moment des faits). Le passage en question est signalé par un trigger warning dans le livre, indiquant les pages à éviter si nécessaire, et l'agresseur est dépeint de manière négative.
