#witch hat Tartah

Headcanon that the reason that the manga is greyscale is actually because we’re somehow seeing everything out of Tartah’s perspective. (I know he’s not always there but just let me have this). Like isn’t it kind of funny that it’s a really big deal that a character has silver wash in a GREYSCALE manga. Like I know we’re supposed to imagine and know that it’s actually colored and it’s just drawn like that, but still, I’ve always found it kind of funny.

Guys I just finished Witch Hat Atelier Book 13 because it came out recently. (Spoilers for the whole series ahead). Omg it’s reminding me how much a freaking love Custas. He is the superior character. Look at him on the cover art! Actually though, Custas is so underrated and he’s one of the most compelling characters in this series. He is the culmination of all of the themes of these books. Everything about the class divide and the messed up system and the way that other factors impact that, especially focusing on disability within this series with characters like Tartah, Quifrey, Beldaruit and of course Custas. Like their world is a crumbling utopia and while the other characters, even if they don’t like the system, they still work within it. Meanwhile, Custas is like well this is stupid so I’m going to do what I want if it will help people.

Custas has been fricked over by their world multiple times, first by the class system, and then when the people who had power (the witches) could have helped him more after his injury, they held back because of their restrictions on magic that they won’t elaborate to him on. Even when he thought that he was friends with Coco and Tartah, because of the rules of magic within their rigid system, they wouldn’t tell him about the magic that could have done so much for him and people like him. He was lied to by his friends. Then the straw that broke the camels back was Dagdah getting hurt and being in the verge of death, and only then finding out that there was secret magic that he could use being hidden away from him. With this magic he was actually able to help people. He was basically like, okay f the system if they won’t let me use magic that will actually help people because of their stupid rules, I’ll just do it myself!

Sure he’s being reckless and there will be consequences to using such dangerous magic, but who can blame him for that when him and the rest of the public, especially people from his poor economic class are constantly kept in the dark. Of course he’s going to mess with this stuff. Of course he’s going to be upset with Coco when other people, nefarious intentions or not are offering him a way to help his father! Then the witch government has the nerve to scorn him for all of this as though his descent is not the fault of the way that they rule their people.

Like Custas really isn’t wrong here. At least with the knowledge that he has. And then in this book when he’s daring everyone to say that he’s in the wrong and a bad person for doing this. Like he’s kind of in the right though, everyone else is just willing to let these people suffer because oh no forbidden magic scary. But Custas is actually doing something! And I’d argue that’s in part because of his upbringing and his current situation, he basically has nothing left to lose so he might as well try to do some good even if it risks everything.

And omg the way during this book they started comparing him to Quifrey and Coco. Like the question is, who will become more like the other? Will Custas join Coco again and try to work with the system? Somehow I doubt that he would want to do that. He is pretty against all of the magic regulation stuff at this point. Or does this mean that maybe Coco will join him? I don’t know if she’s willing to do that either because she recognizes how reckless he is. However she has been processing how messed up the witch government magic regulations are sooo… also the comparisons to Quifrey are so interesting, they kind of are parallels if you think about it. Both of them were abandoned and then taken in by someone. However, in Quifrey’s case he was taken into the magic world and taught to work within the system. However, Custas was never a part of that, so his introduction to all of this other than the limited information that Coco and Tartah gave him was through the brimmed caps and that is a bit of a recipe for disaster. However at the same time, the brimmed caps aren’t even fully in the wrong either. They’re sketchy as hell but they kind of have a point. This is a story with no clear heroes and villains and I find that fascinating. Anyway, this lead to Quifrey, despite not agreeing with a lot of the pointed caps rules, still working at least somewhat within the limits of the system. Whereas Custas just kind of does whatever he thinks will work and hopes for the best.

I’m glad that the pointed caps did start listening to Custas’s ideas at least somewhat near the end of this book. However, it is pretty implied I think that something is horribly wrong with the time reversal magic machine thing and that Quifrey is realizing this. Which is really bad and oh no aggghhhhh. Maybe it will lead to Quifrey and Custas teaming up though which is a dynamic that I’d love to see. (Quifrey is my second favorite, let me watch my favs hang out together witch hat pleaaaase). Although I really don’t like the implications of the little teaser for the next book at the end. What do you mean will Custas save Dagdah or was it just not meant to be or something like that?! What do you mean?! Leave Custas alone! If Custas can’t save Dagdah and has a breakdown I will be so upset! Let him have a breakdown please witch hat I beg you! Give Custas the happy ending that he deserves.

I can’t believe that Custas was introduced so early just to play some random damsel in distress that no one really cared about that much, then didn’t appear for the longest time, only to come back and become the most interesting character in this entire series. He’s crazy like that I love him.

Anyway, I’ve been getting these books from the library mostly but I’ve wanted to own them and this latest one being this good might be the tipping point. I might have to get this series and keep it on my shelf forever. I love witch hat atelier.
