FRIEND OR FOE?

Sociable Chocolat and shy Vanilla were best friends until a cutthroat contest to determine who would be the next Queen of the Magical World ended it all. Since Vanilla has come out of her shell and embraced the Dark Magic of the Ogres, she’s now the enemy of all witches, especially Chocolat. And the Ogres are making their move, crashing a magic festival and casting a dark spell on Chocolat’s school. And though Vanilla has teamed up with the evil Ogre Pierre, Chocolat can’t seem to get the boy out of her mind. How can Chocolat win the competition when she has a crush on an Ogre and still hopes to save her rival, Vanilla?

This review is from: Sugar Sugar Rune 4 (Paperback)

Vanilla has gone to the dark side and somehow Chocolat still has a thing for Pierre. The story is more complex and interesting than this, though. There's added drama, but we get to see Pierre's vulnerable side, and Chocolat's increased ability to express empathy for others. So we get drama, romance (sort-of?), and comedy all-in-one, put together masterfully by the mangaka (author). Quite different from the anime, which is totally put together differently, but the main concepts are kept. One thing that isn't quite explained was Chocolat supposedly smelling like chocolate? And a mystery lady smelling like cinnamon, alluding to something amazing,which you can guess if you've been reading the other volumes! And now I gave you *another* reason to read this one! ;)
