Madou Monogatari ~Mano and the Mysterious Hat~ (魔導物語〜マノと不思議の帽子〜 Madō Monogatari ~ Mano to Fushigi no Bōshi) is a webcomic by D4 Enterprises that ran from February 14, 2007 to October 3, 2014.
It was illustrated by Ichi and written by KEROL, the scenario writer for the Game Gear versions of Madou Monogatari 3 and Madou Monogatari A.[1]
Story
The story follows 3 fledgling magicians: Mano, Chikako, and Kaede in the town of Lucreria (ルクレリア Rukureria) and their encounter with a mysterious talking hat known as Meeru. Meeru tells the girls that it hails from Rockmeyer Kingdom (ロックマイヤー王国) across the sea and that the kingdom was attacked by the mage Gaddis Na Gan, who transformed members of the royal family into various forms. The three magicians set off on a journey to put a stop to Gaddis' plans.
Despite being based on Madou Monogatari, there are no returning characters from the original games and no returning settings.

Development
Madou Monogatari: Mano and the Mysterious Hat was released via the Compile Station on the Amusement Center, a section of D4 Enterprise's site where past Compile works could be downloaded. It had no title and was called the Madou Monogatari Webcomic until the release of Disc Station RE 01, where it was given its current title on August 19, 2015. The final episode was distributed in PDF format in this release but was not made available online.[1]
A special compilation version of all the pages was included in the release of Madou Monogatari: The Super Ultimate Complete Collection (with Puyo Puyo) (魔導物語 超きゅ〜きょく大全 ぷよぷよ入り) which was released April 7, 2023.
