So I got Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen volume 5 ahead of its release next week Tuesday and..... WILLOWGRAPE WINE, BABY!!

IT TOOK FIVE VOLUMES, but finally! No more games about it not being wine! 🍾❤️🎉 (although I do appreciate the Loop Chalice description correction in vol 3)

And Kodansha USA, I will be right here, ready and waiting for a reprint of Volume 1 (and vol 2) with the word 'wine' rightfully placed back in the text for chapter 10 and chapter 17. (and also put Olruggio's name back in Qifrey's mouth for chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and fix everything wrong in ch 10. And ch 15 too: it's Qifrey Olruggio is secretly celebrating, not the atelier. I'll rebuy vol 3 if you correct chapter 30's ending too: After all, they're finally living under the same roof! Their queercoding cannot be hidden behind bland text so why fight it! Embrace it!!)

Anyway aside from this great improvement of actually calling the wine *-wine-*, Volume 5 is an absolute delight in both the chapters and the translation. I was also really curious how they would translate the 'parent and child' turnips, and, oh god, it's better than I thought it could be: daddy and pup Turnipups 😭💖

🥺🥺🥺💖💞💗💖💝💞💖

Qifrey called Coco 'my child' in wha volume 12 and now we got Olruggio calling Agott 'kiddo'...... My heart is so full 💝💝💝
