Sugar Sugar Rune Vol. 02

Outspoken Chocolat and shy Vanilla are best friends, but only one of them can be Queen of the Magic World. To determine who deserves the title, they must go to the Human World and enter a strange competition. Whoever attracts the most human boys . . . claims victory!

Chocolat’s problems in the Human World continue, as sweet and modest Vanilla wins many admirers. But there’s more at stake than a contest when Chocolat learns something shocking about Pierre, the boy she’s falling for. It is a secret that threatens Chocolat’s life and forces her to return to the Magic World to uncover a truth no one in the Kingdom wants to discuss. Worse still, as the challenge heats up, the two best friends find themselves drifting apart and their friendship on the verge of ending!
