Status Updates From Atelier of Witch Hat, vol. 1

Everyone is so cute, aaaaaaaaaaaaaa (also Qifrey's kinda sus ngl)

Me está gustado mucho la historia

1 o 1 with the anime. Its crazy how the anime stays true to the source so far wow!!!!

now WHO is qifrey talking to here?? obviously someone relatively high up in the ranks if they had the authority to approve coco's apprenticeship. i wonder if this person is the source of the gossip? i assume qifrey told as few people as possible so who else would've had the info to be able to spread it? does he actually trust this person or is he doing what he has to in order to achieve his own goals?

again, it's insanely telling that of all the forbidden magic exceptions for witches to make, they didn't choose healing. they chose memory manipulation. BOTH OF WHICH CAN BE VERY EASILY EXPLOITED FOR SELFISH PURPOSES but i'd argue that healing people is probably the nobler risk to take??? god i feel like there's levels of corruption going on here that i can't even fathom yet

i LOVE that coco's immediate reaction to hearing about the existence of forbidden spells is to want to learn everything she can about them. knowledge is POWER, knowledge is how we avoid repeating history, knowledge is how we grow and learn from mistakes, even if it hurts to learn, ESPECIALLY if it hurts to learn. it's the antithesis of the hypocritical gatekeeping of witch society

qifrey posing in such a way that only his right eye (covered by the black lens) is visible to us AND he's clutching his arm (covered by the black undershirt) when he's explaining what forbidden magic is???????? QIFREY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
am i reaching or did i accidentally get a little bit spoiled who knows
