Product Description
THE FORGOTTEN PATH

Witch girls Chocolat and Vanilla were best friends before they came to the Human World. But the competition to see who will be the next Queen of the Magical World has come between them. Worse, Vanilla has embraced the Dark Magic of the Ogres, who are the enemies of all witches.

A day at the beach turns into disaster after Chocolat and the Ogre prince Pierre get caught in Vanilla’s magic spell and end up in a vast and dangerous space called the Forgotten Path. If she cannot find her way back to the Human World in time, Chocolat will lose the contest! The Path leads her to the ancient witch Amber, whose magical help comes with a price. And some startling memories about their younger years return to both Chocolat and Pierre. . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Art and Interesting Read, September 3, 2007

By	M. E. Lim "Books Collector" (Bacolod, Philippines) - See all my reviews

This manga interested me the moment I first saw the anime Sugar Sugar Rune on TV. I've seen a few Sugar Sugar Rune manga in the local stores here but I doubted buying it at first. Seeing the anime triggered my interest in buying the manga.

What I like about the Sugar Sugar Rune manga is the unique art style by Moyoco Anno. So, even if you're not a fan of the storyline of Sugar Sugar Rune you can still enjoy the art and at least you won't regret buying the book. Also, Sugar Sugar Rune is not only for kids but adults can enjoy too. (I am one, after all. Hehe!)

As for the story in this volume, Chocola's still the funny and spirited girl that she is. Pierre realizes some things he would probably never realize had he not gotten trapped with Chocola in a cave. Chocola gets to meet someone who helped her realize the values of the hearts they had been gathering. Houx and Saule were able to find Vanilla lying on a bed in Pierre's mansion.

There is also a bonus story about Chocola and Vanilla when they were still little kids. Vanilla didn't want to have a nap during her nap time. Chocola comes to the rescue.

A preview in Japanese can be found in the last pages of the book. So, if you understand Japanese, you will be able to find out what happens in the next volume. Too bad for me I don't know how to read Japanese characters.

Even if you've seen the anime, you have got to read the manga because there's a lot of differences between the two.
