Sugar Sugar Rune Vol. 03

Sugar Sugar Rune Vol. 03

The competition to become Queen of the Magical World is heating up–and the rivalry is destroying the friendship of witch girls Chocolat and Vanilla. Tired of living in Chocolat’s shadow, Vanilla has fallen under the influence of Pierre, a charming boy who is also the secret leader of a band of evil outcasts from the Magical World. When Pierre gives Vanilla a taste of the power that can be collected from angry hearts, Vanilla changes–and turns against Chocolat.

Homeless and without a best friend, Chocolat finds help in both the Human and Magical worlds. Yet two problems remain: The all-important Spring Exam is coming up, and Chocolat has her own feelings for Pierre!
