Publisher Update - English Simulpub announced

K-Manga, a US publishing site for Kodansha's manga, is due to launch in a week and has announced that the English translations of Witch Hat Atelier will be available as the Japanese chapters come out!

As it's a US site, you'll find you aren't able to access the teaser site without a VPN (I'm in the same boat!) - and I cannot confirm yet if payments will work outside of the US, but this is fantastic news for Witch Hat regardless!

If you're outside the US and wish to ask about whether the region will expand in the future, be sure to be polite when registering interest in wider coverage! In the meantime, be sure to support the official releases you can access - either by buying the volumes or the Japanese chapters on official sites.
