#MangaMonday 29 “Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen” by Hiromi Sato
I recommended “Witch Hat Atelier” previously and while it’s excellent in almost every respect, it takes FOREVER to come out. Fortunately, this #manga can help with the waits. It’s put together by Sato with some input from series creator Kamome Shirahama.
The stories are cute slice-of-life episodes about the main cast and food. I don’t envy anyone following in Shirahama’s artistic footsteps, but Sato does a good job.
Each chapter is followed by a related recipe. They all look delicious, but if you try to tackle them be aware that they’re given partially in fictional world ingredients with a substitution glossary at the back. For some reason not every recipe is glossed, so a degree of guesswork may be required. (If you’ve figured out what to use for Pointed Cap Pastries, let me know.)
Ongoing(?) with four of five volumes available in English (Kodansha.) The fifth volume will be out on the 22nd.
