Sugar Sugar Rune (amazon
Sugar Sugar Rune is an ideal book to read close to Halloween, since it features candy, witches, and witches named after candy. Vanilla and Chocolat are best friends in the witch world, but they are sent to earth for a rite of passage – whoever collects the most human hearts will become the new Witch Queen. Vanilla and Chocolat have an adult caretaker in the human world – Robin is an idol singer who captures hearts with ease during his concerts. The girls live in a little cottage on top of a building, and start attending school. In the human world Vanilla’s retiring and sweet personality make her instantly popular. Chocolat was extremely popular in the witch world but she finds that humans don’t react to her glaring, threats to beat people up, and her love for frogs with the enthusiasm that she’s used to.
Anno’s art is more baroque in Sugar Sugar Rune than in Happy Mania – the panels are frequently decorated with elaborate borders and some of the word balloons appear as hearts. This is a cute book and another solid release from Del Rey. You can view the first few pages of the manga on the Del Rey Manga site. The series has also been adapted as an anime and videogame.

I read the first Sugar Sugar Rune book and i loved it it totally rocked! I currently waiting for the next one to come out. But it comes out feb 28th, 2006 and its only Nov. 30th, 2005! Oh well, but honestly people this book rocked and you dont need to read it near halloween. Along with that Gacha Gacha is by Del Ray too. I loved that as well but found that this was my fav. I also recomand Koducha* and kare kano but kare kanos a long series so if you dont like it dont bother reading the rest of the series!
