If you haven't already devoured Witch Hat Atelier #1, go do so immediately! The inky goodness in #2 is just a continuation of the Miyazaki vibes evoked by the first volume. Plus, where #2 picks up will be extremely jarring if you haven't read #1.

Coco finds herself in more trouble than an apprentice witch can safely handle. Good thing she has Richeh, Tetia, and Agott with her!

More of the world gets fleshed out, and we get to meet another important character. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out. So far, while the solutions the girls come up with have been imaginative, everything has been balanced with the fact that this is a "real" world with consequences.

Another fantastic cliff hanger ending as well. I'm itching for Volume #3!
