    One of the things I really like about WHA is the way it proposes a "new" approach to the teaching-learning process. It shows a kind of pedagogics based on mutual respect and on the nourishment of each student's "talents" and interests without failing to address their weaknesses or neglect helping them to open up to possibilities they haven't explored or considered yet. I feel this comes accross especially clearly in the chapters that explore the character of Richie. I won't go into too much detail for the sake of those still reading, but I feel like every person who wants to be a teacher should read this manga as a foundational text.

    • @Food4Dogs
      @Food4Dogs  Год назад +42

      Good point.
      PoodlePa would ofc say that this "new" approach is really the "old" approach 😊 - the one he practised for many years in the education sector. But we're talking 50 years ago .. and people forget that advances were ever made. It makes me a bit sad that nowadays you have to fight for an approach that we took for granted, and in some respects is still being practised and developed at least here in our NZ schools.

      Yes! The pedagogy aspect of Witch Hat is one that I find so fascinating, especially as I had the opportunity to go to Montessori schools when I was young. And so it's fascinating to see that tailored approach to teaching in how Qifrey teaches the girls, versus what we see of other teachers and ateliers. It's also a refreshing (in an old fashioned sort of way) contrast to other modern magic school stories - most of which seem to take place in a large school with classes and years and a set curriculum; instead opting for a much more traditional master & apprentice type of teaching environment. (I do like that Shirahama is very balanced in her portrayal, that this style also has its pitfalls and negative aspects.)

  • @ydoe2412
    @ydoe2412 8 месяцев назад +80

    My experience with this manga hits scarily close to home, the author Shirahama, graduated from a highly regarded Art university (Tokyo University of the Arts) and she mentions (I think from her twitter) that a lot of the themes and storytelling she does for this manga is based upon her experiences. I'm actually close to graduating from an Art based University as well and the things you've mentioned in the storytelling section of video are things I've witnessed from my peers and have felt myself too many times. The commentary on talent and ability, self worth and confidence hit so hard because she truly knows how it is especially since her artistry is beyond amazing and must've taken blood, sweat, tears and years of dedication to hone. It's fitting that the magic comes from 'drawing' and when that beautifully illustrated magic orchestrated from all those themes come jumping from the pages, that is how I truly feel when creating art, it's pure blissful magic.

    Since you mentioned coloring books I wanted to share something I'm sure you and other may find useful: Since I'm from Chile I buy it in spanish, and there is currently 2 editorials publishing it, one of these is Milky Way Ediciones (from Spain), and they released an actual coloring book with artwork from the manga, its really good quality so if any of you reading this comment have wanted something like that, go and try to get it! its totally worth it!

    I remember commenting on one of your community posts (from last year) about how I would go to bookstores to read the witch hat volumes! And you replied about how you have to preorder and plan and wait for each volume to arrive at your house. This made me realize how, as you said, “fortunate” I am to have access to them.
    I also said in the post that vol 3 was a game changer. My past self had no idea, given that I’ve just start vol 10 currently. I also loaned my copies of vol 1-5 to my cousin and got them hooked on it.
    I’ve been volunteering at several cons this year and saw WHA cosplayers for the first time at one in July, as well as merch from small vendors. My favorites are a wristlet with a design of brushbuddy and linked keychain of qifrey and the girls. But the majority of the little merch I’ve seen is qifrey so I’m still hoping for a bigger WHA following in florida.

    Witch Hat Atelier's art style is what got me interested in reading it, it looks so beautiful and unique. If you like manga with storybook vibes I'd recommend The Girl from the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún. It's story is sad though, but it's well written, the art is very good, and father/daughter dynamic between the two main characters is sweet. It felt kinda fairytale-like.

    I’ve just discovered you and your channel, and I have to say it’s wonderful to see someone of my senior talking about things I’ve loved like WHA and Ys. For many years I’ve enjoyed these stories and games and wanted to talk about them with well read people. Whenever I introduce manga to book readers there is a sense that this medium is inferior or a cheap and generic way to tell a story. I’ve heard people criticize manga and JRPG’s for looking homogenous and using too many tropes. I’m so happy to have found you here, and I look forward to what you’ll be talking about about next. ❤️

    • @Food4Dogs
      @Food4Dogs  10 месяцев назад +2

      Hi Eric, thank you for your comment.
      The "Japanese games and manga are all tropes" is such an old chestnut, it really is deplorable that people still think like that. As I understand it, Japanese writers approach characters from a different perspective, starting out usually with what most westerners would call a "stereotype" (what I like to refer to as an "archetype"), but then slowly building and refining that character.
      I find a lot of Japanese creators are heavily into Jungian theory, and archetypes are of course a corner stone: library.fiu.edu/arh2000/archetypes
      I have to say that approach makes a lot of sense to me.
      In the end, whether it's Western or Eastern stories - shallow 'steretype' based pulp fiction exists in both cultures. Real artistic endeavour can be arrived at in a variety of ways - whether starting out from an archetype, or building an 'individual' personality from scratch.

    Witch Hat Atelier is truly a absolutely amazing manga. I read manga for 20 years but rarely come across a story like this. And the artstyle is in my top 3 of all stories I have read so far. I don’t read mangas that often anymore but I am very glad that I picked up this one. I actually got to know about it through cosplayers I have met on a convention. Now I made two costumes of WHA on my own and every time I wear them I realize how unknown the story still is (at least in my country). But it is a great possibility to introduce the manga to others.
    I adore how dark the story gets and that the one we get to know as a good guy (Qifrey) actually is rather suspicious and doesn’t have such a white vest as we think. At the same time he portrays the typical picture we have of a good teacher, being kind, encouraging and knowledgeable.
    A great manga about morality and societies opression and finding your own way.

I was fascinated by Witch Hat Atelier's gorgeous artwork and also heard the story has a wide range of characters including those with disabilities. I also wanted to say that I'm so happy to see an adult review manga and anime- it is so incredibly refreshing.

    I watched the trailer for the anime adaptation for this that recently came out and it immediately drew me in with it's beautiful world and art. I really hope it lives up to the trailer and what I've heard of the manga.
    Either way - even though I'm not one to really read manga, I've definitely been convinced to give this story a try in one form or another depending on how the anime turns out.

      @@Food4Dogs I don’t think so, I believe she’s on volume 3. Funny thing, she wanted to display some manga on her bookshelf, so I let her have the keeping of Spy X Family, Made in Abyss, Witch Hat and Hanako Kun. But you know, it really pained me to not have them in my own collection, being the man-child hoarder that I am. So the first time she threw a tantrum (the kind where she trashes the entire room), I took the opportunity to return the books to my office. I’m not proud of it. Have you been keeping up with Oshimi”s Blood on the Tracks? Really something.

      No, I haven't kept up with Blood on Tracks. I know that when I go back I need plenty of uninterrupted time, which is in short supply atm. I'm also keeping notes, which slows me down, bc I know I will want to talk about it. And Flowers of Evil too.

    I have this series in my collection including the limited edition vol. 11 (notebook and illustrated cards) and vol. 12, but I didn't dare to unpack my fudemushi yet. It's really great, but not recommended to beginners in Japanese, if you want read original. It's top tier in art, settings are great, characters and story is pretty good as well.
    I can recommend other great series and in my opinion visually the best series 「乙嫁語り」/ "The Bride's Stories". It's set in the 19th century central Asia. It's published in Japan in regular and wide edition - hard cover and very large pages.
