Witch Hat Atelier Merch and Gifts for a Fan Who Draws

Witch Hat Atelier is my daughter’s favorite anime. In her words, it’s the best anime ever. She watched season 1 in two days, and she draws, so a story where magic is drawn with a pen on paper was always going to get her.

She has the paperback volumes and Box Set 1, we buy her the Grimoire Editions, and the series has its own book shrine. She has Witch Hat figures and plush as well.

Buying for a fan of this series gets confusing fast. There are three formats for the same manga, plus a spin-off, an art book, and an Amazon search full of unlicensed plush. Below: which Witch Hat Atelier merch and books to get, which figures are licensed and ship from Amazon.com, and the kinds of art supplies she draws with, picked from what’s on Amazon.

The Short Answer

Start with Witch Hat Atelier Box Set 1, which holds volumes 1 to 6 and a set of art cards.

Per volume, Box Set 1 is the cheapest way to start the series in English. Grimoire Editions are the gift version: oversized hardcovers with three volumes in each, three of them out so far. For a fan who already has the manga, get The Art of Witch Hat Atelier. As of November 12, 2026, Amazon.com sells one licensed Witch Hat figure, the Banpresto Coco, and it ships in February 2027, so it won’t arrive by Christmas. If the fan draws, the supplies further down are the kinds of tools my daughter uses.

Not sure the series will stick? Volume 1 on its own costs a fraction of the box.

Which Witch Hat Atelier Books to Buy: Paperback, Box Set or Grimoire Edition

Kodansha publishes the English manga in three formats. The story inside is the same. What changes is the binding, the extras and the price per volume.

Format	What you get	Price on Amazon (Nov 12, 2026)	Cost per volume	Best for
Paperback volume	One volume. Volumes 1 to 14 are out, Volume 15 comes out December 8, 2026	About $9 to $10 each	About $9 to $10	Trying the series, or filling a gap
Box Set 1	Paperback volumes 1 to 6 in a box, plus exclusive art cards	About $45 ($79.99 list)	About $7.50	Starting the series for the least money
Grimoire Edition	Oversized hardcover with three volumes in each book and bonus extras	About $35 to $40 ($49.99 list)	About $11.70 to $13.30	A gift, or a fan who rereads

So the hardcover costs more per volume than a paperback. You buy a Grimoire for the object. It looks like a spellbook on the shelf.

Here is how the Grimoire Editions line up:

• Grimoire Edition 1: volumes 1 to 3, out since May 2026.
• Grimoire Edition 2: volumes 4 to 6, out since September 2026.
• Grimoire Edition 3: volumes 7 to 9, out since November 2026.
• Grimoire Edition 4: volumes 10 to 12, listed on Amazon for August 2027.

Grimoire Edition 3 is the newest. When I checked, it had only nine ratings on Amazon, with a lower average than the first one. Read those reviews before you order it as a gift.

One thing to plan for if you mix formats. The three Grimoires cover volumes 1 to 9. A reader who finishes Grimoire 3 and wants to keep going will need paperback Volume 10 onward, because Grimoire 4 is months away.

There is no Box Set 2. Kodansha hasn’t announced one, so after Box Set 1 it’s single volumes from Volume 7. Volume 15 is on pre-order for December 8, 2026.

The Art Book and the Coloring Book

The Art of Witch Hat Atelier is Kodansha’s large hardcover of Kamome Shirahama’s color artwork. For a fan who already owns the manga, it’s the one Witch Hat book that adds something new. The art book shows her color work at full size.

Kodansha also put out an official coloring book. You color characters, creatures and places from the series, and there are pages for designing your own witch hat. It’s the cheaper gift, and it pairs well with markers.

Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen

Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen is a spin-off manga drawn by Hiromi Sato. It’s short cooking stories set in the same world, with the same characters, and much lower stakes than the main series. Five volumes are out in English. It’s an easy add-on for a fan who is waiting on the next main volume.

There’s also a prose spin-off, Witch Hat Atelier: Special Stories by Jun Esaka, with three short stories. The English edition is listed for May 2027.

Witch Hat Atelier Merch: Figures You Can Buy in the US

Licensed Witch Hat figures are harder to find in the US than the books. In November 2026 the Banpresto DXF Coco was the one licensed figure sold by Amazon.com at a normal price. It’s a pre-order, and Amazon lists the release for February 12, 2027.

Shopping for Christmas? This one would be a late gift.

Good Smile Company makes Coco as a Nendoroid and as a larger POP UP PARADE figure. On Amazon both come only from third-party importers, and one of them ships from Japan. Compare the price with Good Smile’s own before you pay it.

For a Fan Who Draws: The Tools My Daughter Draws With

My daughter started drawing anime characters in fifth grade. When she watched Little Witch Academia, she used it as drawing fuel. Witch Hat is a story where the magic itself is drawing.

She draws with pencils and fineliners, alcohol markers of the Copic and Ohuhu type, Posca paint markers, and a tablet. The picks below are those kinds of tools. The exact brands and sets are mine, chosen from what’s on Amazon.

Pencils. A 24-pencil Staedtler Mars Lumograph graphite set, presharpened, in a metal case.

Fineliners. Sakura Pigma Micron pens are a common choice for inking over a pencil sketch. The 6 pack is all black, in assorted tip sizes.

Alcohol markers. Copic is the best-known brand, and it costs the most. Ohuhu sets give you far more colors for the money. This 48-color set has a brush tip and a chisel tip on each marker and is refillable.

Posca paint markers. Posca markers put down opaque, water-based paint, so light colors show on top of dark ones. That’s how you get white highlights and sparkles on a finished drawing. They also work on things that aren’t paper. The PC-5M is the medium tip in a set of 8 colors.

A drawing tablet. She draws on a tablet too. If your fan doesn’t have one yet, the small wired Wacom Intuos plugs into a computer and comes with a pen and drawing software. It has no screen of its own. You draw on the pad and watch the line appear on the monitor, which takes some getting used to. It’s a cheap way to find out whether digital drawing sticks before anyone spends on a tablet with a screen.

A how-to-draw book. She has used how-to-draw manga books along the way. Draw Like a Mangaka is a beginner’s guide to drawing in manga style, and it’s the one I’d hand to a fan who is just starting.

The witches in the story draw their spells with dip pens called Ink Wands, but my daughter doesn’t use one, and for a fan who is starting out I’d stick with the markers and fineliners above.

Witch Hat Atelier Listings to Skip

Search Amazon for Witch Hat Atelier and a lot of what comes back isn’t official. The Brushbuddy plush, the acrylic stands, the keychains, the sticker packs and the costumes are mostly from generic makers with no license. Some of them look fine in the photos. I’m still not linking them, because the money goes to whoever copied the art. Check the brand line on the listing: licensed figures name Banpresto, Good Smile or Kotobukiya, and the books say Kodansha.

The other trap is seller bundles. These are single volumes a third-party seller has packed together and listed as a “set.” They aren’t Kodansha products, and the numbers don’t work in your favor:

Seller bundle	Bundle price (Nov 12, 2026)	The same books bought another way
Volumes 1 to 5	About $60	Box Set 1 has volumes 1 to 6 for about $45
Volumes 1 to 10	About $99	Box Set 1 plus volumes 7 to 10: about $86
Volumes 1 to 14	About $167	Box Set 1 plus volumes 7 to 14: about $127
Kitchen volumes 1 to 5	About $57	Five single Kitchen volumes: about $49
