Witch Hat Atelier creator Kamome Shirahama on how she looks at the representation appreciation for the series:
"So, for me, not having that representation would actually feel very unnatural. And it seems just a natural progression of things to have the people we live alongside in real life appear in the story.
It’s really nice to hear that so many people feel thankful that they are being represented in the story. That makes me feel happy, but I also feel like that really should be more normalized, and I would like to see the day when people don’t have to feel a special gratitude for that happening."
Witch Hat Atelier manga is about 1/3 done, according to creator Kamome Shirahama.
"I would say maybe we are about a third of the way into the story. It's really difficult to say. I will say that we have definitely hit a major turning point with the Silver Eve arc."
She also told us that she has the broader strokes of the future story in mind, but not the small details.
"That's not something I decided in advance. It's something that newly develops over time as I'm creating the story. So, nothing's really fixed in stone, but I do think about where I’m going to land."
The manga began in July 2016, releasing a total of 98 chapters and 16 volumes so far. Season 2 of the anime is currently in production.
yes i DO think you’re a loser and an idiot for using generative AI! yes i DO think you’re fucking stupid if you ask chatgpt questions! i do not respect you!
Beautiful. Devastating. Unabashedly queer. Unmistakably human.
I’ve never be prouder to be part of something.
Go watch my husband @BranMci give the performance of a lifetime. (His cast mates aren’t too shabby, either. 😉)
Fuck AI.
isnt it a bit wild that universally people in school and workplaces were taught to approach wikipedia with skepticism for potential misinformation and now everyones virtually lobotomized by gen AI chatbots that just make shit up and youre expected to use them in some cases
I know it feels like we’re having a big sleepover with the entire world and will come to an end one day soon, but watching Americans dancing with the Algerians and the Scottish at our bbqs and so forth and so on….. this is the world and the America I wanna live in all the time.
Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.
my richeh was the only richeh at the WHA meetup on sunday @ dokomi, so everyone donated their brushbuddies so she needn't be alone when everyone had their group photos 🥺 i love our fandom so much

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
