Recent English volumes have come out about every 9 months. The English edition runs about 11 months behind Japan. How we predict

Witch Hat Atelier in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Apr 9, 2019 from Kodansha USA. In the 6.9 years since, 14 volumes have come out — one about every 6 months on average. The pace has slowed lately: recent volumes have come out about every 9 months. Our predicted dates follow this slower pace. The longest wait was 1.2 years, between Vol. 13 and Vol. 14.

Japan is at Vol. 16 (Apr 23, 2026), so 2 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing those would take about 1.5 years.
