As I recently mentioned in another thread, I’m pretty bad at coming up with lists of favorite things. But I tend to like lower stakes, slice-of-life (and coming-of-age) series more than action-centric ones. I’m currently catching up on reading _Witch Hat Atelier_ in anticipation of the upcoming anime (14 volumes of the manga are available in English so far, the first season of the anime probably won’t cover more than a couple of them).
