Japan[edit | edit source]

All of the Japanese limited editions feature slight cover variations—with the gold "mounting" corners recolored to compliment each volume's specific artwork. Each limited edition includes a unique promotional item. Replacement dust jackets were also distributed in Morning Two magazine.[1] These replacement covers match the variant covers included with the French collector editions. Please refer to the French list for example images.

Volume 1[edit | edit source]

No limited edition produced.

Volume 2[edit | edit source]

The second volume special edition came with a 32-page mini artbook containing color illustrations, rough sketches, and previously unpublished concept art.[1] The cover was designed to evoke the feeling of an old magic book.[2] A digital version of this special release is also available which includes a copy of the accompanying artbook.

  • Note: Unlike the other Japanese limited release volumes, Volume 2 was labeled as a "special edition" (特装版, tokusōban) instead of a "limited edition" (限定版, genteiban).

Volume 3[edit | edit source]

The third volume limited edition came with a foil-embossed "sticky note" book. The booklet includes brushbuddy, pointed cap, and magic ring sticky notes, as well as a memo pad featuring Coco.[3][4]

Volume 4[edit | edit source]

The fourth volume limited edition came with eight postcard-style coloring pages and 12 Tombow brand colored pencils in colors personally chosen by Kamome Shirahama.[5][6][7] Selected pencil colors include: (golden) chrome yellow, yellow green, light blue, blue, violet, pink, red, orange, light orange, (dark) vandyke brown, silver, and gold.

Volume 5[edit | edit source]

The fifth volume limited edition came with a Love Letter inspired card game.[8] Seiji Kanai, the original designer behind Love Letter, was brought in to develop a Witch Hat version of the game.[9] The individual cards were all illustrated by Shirahama who received tips on card design including how to design card backs to ensure the card fronts do not show through.[10] The game is designed for 2–4 players, and includes 16 numbered magic cards, five character cards, and eight quest cards.[11] A separate promotional quest card featuring Brushbuddy was included with Morning Two (2019) Issue 7.[8]

Volume 6[edit | edit source]

The sixth volume limited edition came with a 48-page spiral-bound "sketchbook" style artbook.[12] The artbook includes inked character doodles with their underlying rough pencil sketches. A digital version of this limited release is also available which includes a copy of the accompanying artbook.

Volume 7[edit | edit source]

The seventh volume limited edition came with a 60-page faux-leather bound palm quire.[13] The palm quire has a snap closure and a support ring for easy handling. Two pages include character illustrations, five contain pre-drawn spells ready for "casting," and the remaining pages are blank.[14][15]

Volume 8[edit | edit source]

The eighth volume limited edition came with a 2021 calendar.[16][17] Each page features a different color of foil gilding, along with key character birthdays and story-related events labeled.[18] The art on each page can be detached from the calendar section for separate display.

Volume 9[edit | edit source]

The ninth volume limited edition came with a sealing wax stamp set. The stamp design features a "lockwax" magic seal,[19] and the set includes blue and gold sealing wax matching Qifrey’s apprentice robe design. In addition, those who purchased both the Volume 9 limited edition plus Morning Two (2021) Issue 9 or 10 could send away to receive a bonus illustrated set of stationery which compliments the sealing wax set.[20]

Volume 10[edit | edit source]

No limited edition produced.[21] However, a free clear bookmark was offered at participating bookstores, in conjunction with the release of the 10th volume.[22]

Volume 11[edit | edit source]

The 11th volume limited edition came with a 32-page wrap-around style artbook and five postcards, each with a unique design. The postcards fit into a pocket within the artbook.[23] The exterior of the artbook features the cover art from Chapter 64 of Volume 12. A digital version of this limited release is also available which includes a copy of the accompanying artbook and postcard designs.

Volume 12[edit | edit source]

The 12th volume limited edition came with a "near life size" Brushbuddy plush, with posable limbs and body.[24] While traveling, Shirahama occasionally posts photos of her personal Brushbuddy in various locations.[25][26]

Volume 13[edit | edit source]

The 13th volume limited edition came with an eco-friendly, reusable shopping bag and a pouch in the shape of Coco’s pointed cap.[27] The tassel of the cap serves as a zipper pull for the pouch,[28] and the tote bag can be folded up and stored in the pouch. The tote bag features a custom design by Shirahama with various components, two capture pennants, Qifrey's Atelier, and a brushbuddy. Shirahama also posted a promotional illustration of Olruggio carrying the bag on Twitter.[29]


France[edit | edit source]

All of the French collector editions feature reversible dust jackets with the original cover on one side and a variant cover on the other. The variant covers mostly feature illustrations from collector edition artbooks. Each collector's edition also includes a unique promotional item, many of which that match the Japanese releases. Please refer to the Japanese list for additional item descriptions.

Volume 1[edit | edit source]

The first volume collector's edition came with the same 32-page mini artbook that was included with the Japanese Volume 2 special edition. The French collector's edition also includes a bonus interview with Kamome Shirahama.[30] Due to a printing error, this volume was released without a reversible variant cover. To remedy the mistake, a complimentary replacement cover was later made available to those who purchased the first edition.[31] In addition, a free shikishi bookplate was offered at participating bookstores and Salon Livre Paris, in conjunction with the release of the first volume.[32]

Volume 2[edit | edit source]

No collector's edition produced.[33] However, all copies of the second volume standard edition came with a reversible dust jacket featuring a variant cover on one side—similar to the collector editions.[34] In addition, a blue feather ballpoint pen was given away at participating bookstores and Japan Expo, in conjunction with the release of the second volume.

Volume 3[edit | edit source]

The third volume collector's edition came with a notebook modeled after the "sticky note" book included with the Japanese limited edition.[35] In addition, another free shikishi bookplate was offered at participating bookstores, in conjunction with the release of the third volume.[36]

Volume 4[edit | edit source]

The fourth volume collector's edition came with the same postcard-style coloring pages and colored pencils as the Japanese limited edition.[37] In addition, a free clear file was offered at participating bookstores, in conjunction with the release of the third volume.[38]

Volume 6[edit | edit source]

The sixth volume collector's edition came with the same "sketchbook" style artbook as the Japanese limited edition. However, the spiral binding present on the Japanese version was replaced with a standard hardback binding for the French release.[39] In addition (in conjunction with the release of Volume 6), a 63 mm (2.5 in.) round button pin was offered at participating bookstores to those who purchased a volume of Witch Hat Atelier plus any other Pika Seinen manga title.[40]

Volume 7[edit | edit source]

The seventh volume collector’s edition came with the same palm quire as the Japanese limited edition.[15]

Volume 8[edit | edit source]

The eighth volume collector's edition came with a 32-page mini artbook unique to the French market.[41] While the Japanese limited edition of Volume 8 released in January included a calendar, it was deemed impractical to include the same calendar with the French release of Volume 8, scheduled for June. Thus, a unique artbook was substituted.[42] The artbook includes reproductions of Morning Too magazine covers and color pages which featured Witch Hat. In addition (in conjunction with the release of Volume 8), a beach towel was offered at participating bookstores to those who purchased three Pika Edition manga volumes.[43]

Volume 9[edit | edit source]

Volume 11[edit | edit source]

The 11th volume collector's edition came with the same postcards and 32-page artbook included with the Japanese Volume 11 limited edition.[45] However, the wrap-around binding present for the Japanese version was replaced with a standard manga-style binding for the French release.
