In the Magical World, the future queen is chosen by selecting two young witches and sending them to the Human World, where they'll compete to capture the hearts of boys. Whoever has collected the most by the end of the competition is crowned queen. This generation's Queen Candidates are best friends and polar opposites Vanilla Mieux and Chocolat Meilleure, the daughters of the current queen and her former competitor (respectively). They're aided by their assigned mentor and guardian, pop idol witch Rockin' Robin, and their two animal familiars, Blanca the mouse and Duke the frog. But the girls have more to deal with than just competing for hearts at school. There's something weird about the cool, mysterious middle school boy Pierre, who resembles the evil king Glace—and he seems to be after Chocolat. Now, both trapped within their own new goals, the two witches must fight their way and retain a friendship which no magic can defeat.
This was recommended by Tartza way back in 2008. She said: "I had already forgotten I even suggested Sugar Sugar Rune. It's been so long since I watched that. :S But now that I think about the series more carefully, I still stick to my word. Look at the guys! lol. Those two twins in the first picture and that dark-hearted guy. And occasionally other guys too when she is trying to "woo" them, meaning steal their heart as energy...weird but she is a witch. he hee."
