  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:06
  talk, I am your host, Robert and today I am very excited to
• 0:10
  finally get to talk about Which hat at layer volume one.
• 0:16
  Now, this is one, the John know has been on my list want to read
• 0:19
  for a while and I can't lie. There's a little bit of
• 0:23
  nervousness because just make a long story short, So, like I
• 0:29
  said, this has been on my list of still to referring.
• 0:31
  Wow, but I ended up collecting it backwards because about a
• 0:37
  month ago, at a local movie trading company, they have a
• 0:42
  manga section and they had volumes 3 through 5 on sale for
• 0:47
  half off. So, I pretty much got all three
• 0:50
  of those volumes for like 15 bucks, a little premature.
• 0:54
  I got three volumes for the price of one almost.
• 0:56
  And so, Then I ended up of course Market.
• 1:01
  Well, now I got to get one and two.
• 1:04
  Well, I too was hard to find two or so, therefore, what is a
• 1:09
  photo for whatever reason everywhere, whatever, but I
• 1:12
  finally found it when I was in Barnes & Noble, whatever one day
• 1:15
  found, it got it. Cool.
• 1:16
  And then my awesome friend. Shout out to just summon from
• 1:22
  epic manga book club. She had what she had a extra
• 1:25
  copy of volume. One that she sent me for my
• 1:27
  birthday this month as. So I was okay.
• 1:33
  I have all these volumes of this manga.
• 1:36
  I hope I enjoy it and I have just heard a report just off the
• 1:39
  bat fight against any details, that I freaking loved this first
• 1:44
  volume and now I'm even more excited to.
• 1:47
  Hey, I already have four more volumes waiting for me, which is
• 1:50
  why I'm recording this because I'm like, you know what, I need
• 1:52
  to record this talk about it so I can move on to the rest of the
• 1:56
  volumes but just for a little bit of a backtracking because
• 2:00
  I'm not going to delve into this, just Feet first deep into
• 2:04
  the deep end but will chant layer or chillier.
• 2:09
  I still don't understand how to say it.
• 2:10
  Sir, forgive me, but I'm saying earlier.
• 2:14
  So like I said, first of all human, I have volume 1.
• 2:17
  I have two through five, currently in English, I think
• 2:22
  they're out up to, I think, Volume 7.
• 2:25
  And I think Volume 8 is coming out in a couple months,
• 2:28
  whatever. So there's a few more to go,
• 2:31
  whatever. But you know, Seems like it's
• 2:34
  not turning out chapter super fast.
• 2:36
  I don't believe, I don't know but this series.
• 2:43
  Oh man is written by let me see Otto.
• 2:50
  Okay, the art is done by a komodo.
• 2:52
  May sure a hammer and the actual story itself.
• 2:58
  All right. Never mind.
• 2:58
  It is the same person. So you're so.
• 3:00
  So the story and art is done by come on Mase.
• 3:03
  Sure. Sure.
• 3:04
  Hama, who has also done some art for DC and Marvel as well.
• 3:10
  Some some covers and stuff. So little bit of a brief
• 3:14
  synopsis of the story, meet young Coco who is here on the
• 3:19
  cover. Curious and bright and desperate
• 3:22
  to learn how Magics rot but which is keep their secrets
• 3:25
  hidden tight, and which is Coco, knows are born not taunt.
• 3:31
  They will one day Coco spies upon it, which, as he prepares
• 3:35
  the charms, for which she yearns.
• 3:38
  And she sees that like her skill with through that Stitch the
• 3:42
  truth, is that magic, is that Magics something?
• 3:45
  She can learn with this knowledge.
• 3:47
  Coco starts to try to teach yourself The Witches way with
• 3:50
  charms and yet, her aspirations go worried as Coco's magic
• 3:55
  causes Grievous harm to set things, right?
• 3:58
  Young cocoa, leaves, her home and so begins to tell within
• 4:01
  this Tome. So, yeah.
• 4:03
  So this follows. Yeah, it is a fantasy world
• 4:06
  about witches and it follows, young cocoa as her curiosity.
• 4:11
  Basically got the best of her and because long story short.
• 4:15
  So she ended up getting this book from some mysterious Person
• 4:20
  at a market or whatever that had different, you know, stuff in it
• 4:25
  or whatever, but it wasn't until she ran into this guy who ends
• 4:31
  up becoming her teacher Professor.
• 4:35
  I don't know how to press. I'm saying cute free Cube free,
• 4:39
  it's on my say it. And so basically what he goes
• 4:44
  because long story short, something gets damaged and he
• 4:48
  can repair it, but you have to use Smash but he's wanted to do
• 4:52
  the magic and secret because the ways of magic, you know, they
• 4:57
  don't want just everybody know how to do it but her curiosity
• 5:01
  is the best of her. She has a spine on him and
• 5:04
  saying, oh, how you do magic is basically drawing different
• 5:08
  rooms and stuff like that or whatever.
• 5:10
  So she goes back to this book that she got from this
• 5:12
  mysterious person and she tries to creating some of it whatever.
• 5:16
  So she occasional screen little specifier water little stuff
• 5:19
  like Whatever, but then she goes to trace the spell which basic
• 5:25
  which ended up being a forbidden spell and it caused some major
• 5:29
  damage to to to her home. It's I'll just leave it.
• 5:36
  That's what that get into spoilers whatever and that's
• 5:39
  what sets her on this journey. Of having to be taught and to
• 5:44
  learn more about magic and the right way to use it.
• 5:49
  So first off, I just want to say, like I feel like there was
• 5:52
  a lot packed into this volume for a being one volume.
• 5:56
  And it was well, I think like five chapters I believe.
• 6:05
  Nicholas. Yeah, five chapters are about
• 6:10
  200 pages. So this is a pretty, I feel like
• 6:13
  a pretty hefty size and I love the art of it, the art of the
• 6:19
  covers. Are just so beautiful.
• 6:23
  And you know, I have a random just to kind of show you other
• 6:25
  direction, the video version, just looking at these covers.
• 6:30
  They all just look so beautiful. And and just even like even the
• 6:38
  texture of the paper, everything about this.
• 6:40
  Just feels nice and the Art of the different panels and stuff.
• 6:46
  Just look so So Fantastical, I guess it's the best way to put
• 6:52
  it, but I really like, I really like Coco has a main character.
• 6:57
  I like her teacher, like I said, Q free.
• 7:02
  I think that's a pronoun pronouncing his name just
• 7:06
  because he he's kind of hard and overall, but you can tell, there
• 7:13
  is more going on. Because, you know, it's like
• 7:17
  yeah, he takes her under Wing to try to teach her how to better
• 7:22
  harness magic to try to help her fix the issues that she caused.
• 7:27
  But you could also tell that. Okay, because of the spare, The
• 7:33
  Forbidden spell that she did and then the hints of the person
• 7:36
  that she might have gotten the book from is I okay.
• 7:40
  This is connected to somebody or something that they've been
• 7:43
  trying to hunt down a fine for a while.
• 7:46
  And so he kind of since I have some type of like a Shal some
• 7:49
  more mystery going on with him but I'm just enjoying just
• 7:54
  seeing this world. I like how the the way magic
• 8:00
  works is they do a good job of detailing it and then, and then
• 8:04
  demonstrating it with in the manga as far as the okay.
• 8:07
  You know, you have the circle and then you have basically the
• 8:13
  the rooms which that's something else I enjoy.
• 8:15
  Like it's at the end of the volume.
• 8:17
  They had a break. Now, the introduction to magical
• 8:23
  seals which are casting cells, which teaches you okay about the
• 8:28
  ring, the signs and the sigil and so teaching, you how this
• 8:32
  all works. And so it's just like very fine
• 8:35
  watching KOCO learning how all this stuff works, as well as
• 8:39
  just kind of learning. How to use her own skills that
• 8:45
  she had, because she cooks cocoa already, she worked in kind of
• 8:49
  like a in a shop or they kind of repaired their People's Clothing
• 8:53
  and stuff like that, and fabrics and stuff.
• 8:56
  And so she, she already had like some Artistic type of skills and
• 9:02
  she's able to apply that knowledge in those skills into
• 9:05
  her craft of drawing, the magic seals and stuff.
• 9:12
  But I enjoy it. I'm enjoying the other
• 9:15
  characters that she has met since she came to so the the air
• 9:20
  till here in the title that is a location a building.
• 9:25
  And so the interior that she is at 40 You freeze until the air.
• 9:31
  She makes some some other young ladies who are also coming on as
• 9:36
  as a which apprentices or whatever.
• 9:39
  And I'm enjoying the few characters.
• 9:41
  Especially what is what is her name?
• 9:45
  Agate Coco's roommate, just because she's kind of a type of
• 9:49
  character to where she's I guess kind of maybe like a like a
• 9:53
  rival type to where it's not. Okay.
• 9:55
  She feels like, okay. I know all of us have to put in
• 9:58
  all this work and training So in order to get here yet you know
• 10:03
  you caused this disaster and you're just brought in and so I
• 10:07
  was like nah that's not how it's not gonna fly like that or
• 10:11
  whatever. But but yeah, but I'm just
• 10:14
  really loving it. Really enjoying it.
• 10:16
  As you can probably tell just by how how I am talking.
• 10:19
  But this is one if if, if you like fantasy stuff if you like
• 10:25
  magic, which has be the fantastical It's based off of
• 10:30
  this volume alone. I feel like at least the first
• 10:33
  volume is worth picking up because I feel like after
• 10:37
  reading this first volume I think you'll have a pretty good
• 10:40
  idea of like okay. Yes, you were like it or no, you
• 10:43
  are an old might not be your thing, but I definitely feel
• 10:46
  like at least one volume is worth.
• 10:51
  Picking up but just like, like, the way that the art is drawn
• 10:56
  for the magic and stuff just looks so freaking awesome.
• 11:01
  Just look at that. And probably spend about is just
• 11:04
  hearing the audio part, but it like the art just looks so
• 11:08
  freaking good. And I also like how the
• 11:11
  different locations look. I like how the There's there
• 11:18
  already seems to be a diversity of characters because there was
• 11:23
  one which that cute free runs into whatever old acquaintance
• 11:28
  whatever, but she's a black, which are or some person of
• 11:33
  color and just her designer stuff.
• 11:36
  Just looks very beautiful. And I've seen some covers for
• 11:40
  like later volumes and stuff, whatever were or just like some
• 11:44
  screenshots of like later volumes stuff, whatever.
• 11:46
  Where the characters? Where's like a more diversity
• 11:49
  with the characters? And says, okay, you had this
• 11:51
  magical and Fantastical world but there is still a variety of
• 11:57
  people and things going on with it, but but yeah.
• 11:59
  But like I said, I'm just super excited about this and ready to
• 12:04
  dive into Volume 2. So, yeah.
• 12:06
  So like I said, highly recommended go check out which
• 12:10
  hat until ear. Like I said, there are currently
• 12:13
  like, I believe eight volumes out, Seven volumes out
• 12:19
  currently. No eight volumes that an English
• 12:24
  and then volume 9 will be coming out, I believe in March.
• 12:28
  So there's a volume is out there waiting for you if you end up
• 12:30
  like in the first one like I did that hop on it.
• 12:34
  But yeah I picked this up it was like what?
• 12:37
