"The Unknowing Ones" are, simply put, those who cannot use magic. Only those who are born as wizards can become wizards. The main character, Coco, is a girl who has a strong desire to become a wizard, but her family runs a tailor shop in a small village. Living in an environment far removed from wizards and in a world filled with magic, Coco must endure every day.

Coco's life changes dramatically when she meets the wizard Kifree. It's a law of the world that you should never see someone using magic. Anyone who does is forced to have their memory erased to keep them quiet. Out of curiosity, Coco witnesses Kifree's magic. The worst thing one can do is be "ignorant." Coco's curiosity overcame her loyalty to the rules, resulting in a major incident.

The Difference Between Wizards and Ignorants

The difference is "whether or not you know magic." "Ignorants" have no knowledge of how magic is created or crafted. That's why you shouldn't watch magic being used.

An Incident Caused by Ignorance

They are "ignorant" because they do not know magic. Without knowledge of what magic does and when to use it, they end up like Coco. Coco secretly played with magic, unaware that it was forbidden magic. Because of this, Coco's mother turns to stone, and in order to save her, Coco becomes an apprentice to the wizard Keefree. There is nothing more frightening than ignorance.

The Wizard's Absolute Secret

In fact, anyone can easily use magic. All you need is the right tools. It doesn't require lineage or complicated recitation. Because of this, people can use magic ignorantly, so those who don't know should not see magic being used. This is a wizard's greatest secret.

Prescribed Tools

These are the tools used to cast magic. They're cute, aren't they?! Magic can't be activated without these tools, but Coco used a picture book and pen she bought from "Hat with a Brim" when she was little to cast her first spell. This "Hat with a Brim" is a dark presence in this world.

Draw Magic Circles with Freedom of Idea

Magic is activated by drawing a magic circle. Magic can be activated even if the magic circle isn't as beautiful as Coco's, but the power of the magic changes depending on how beautifully it's drawn. Furthermore, the effect of the magic changes depending on what you're drawing. Coco and her friends are studying this diligently. If anyone could do it, I'd definitely like to try it.

Magicians for the Uninformed

As you can see from this page, to those who don't know, magic is a source of fascination, aspiration, and mystery. The existence of such a thing arouses the human spirit of curiosity, especially for children. Magic, which makes the world more convenient and better, is something out of the ordinary for those who are ignorant.

The Unknown to Wizards

Not everyone is like this, but Agate tends to look down on those who are ignorant. From the perspective of wizards, they often use magic for the benefit of "unknowns," so a hierarchical relationship inevitably develops. Keefree and Tetia were quick to accept Coco, an "unknown," as a friend, so it may depend on the person.
