In the Kingdom of Highland, humans use fairies. Anne is aiming to become a Silver Sugar Master like her late mother, and together with the foulmouthed warrior fairy bodyguard Challe, and Mithril, a fairy who has vowed to repay her, she’s been diligent every day. One day, as their travel funds start to dwindle, Anne hears of a money-making opportunity for candy crafters, and her interest is piqued...

The Royal Candy Fair approaches, and Anne Halford is ready to tackle the competition again to win the title of Silver Sugar Master! However, she is in a bind due to the year’s poor harvest of sugar apples—the most important ingredient for silver sugar—and the only way to obtain the limited few is by working at the Radcliffe Workshop. Despite having had terrible encounters with the candy crafters from that faction, Anne decides to go, as she won’t let anything deter her from achieving her dream. Now she just needs to find a motif for her sugar candy sculpture...

After Anne’s group is attacked by a flock of vicious crows, she has no choice but to order Challe to protect everyone. But when she sees the carnage her fairy is capable of, even she can’t believe it… Will she truly be able to keep ordering around someone who can rip her to shreds in an instant? Read the next chapter of Sugar Apple Fairy Tale the same day as Japan!

By the time Haruhiro comes to, he finds himself in a gamelike world filled with terrifying monsters. This world is called Grimgar. Armed with no more strength or ability than your average boy, Haruhiro and his fellow party members struggle to survive as they cobble out a mean existence, receiving mediocre pay in return for risking their lives everyday. What kind of future does this harsh, uncaring world have in store for those who are not destined to succeed, who have no prophecy to guide them, who are not heroes...?

To-do: Stop the bad guys. Rescue the wizard. Find the perfect outfit for New Year’s Eve. At last, Owen Palmer, the dreamboat wizard at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has conjured up the courage to get Katie Chandler under the mistletoe at the office holiday party. But just when it looks like Katie has found her prince, in pops her inept fairy godmother, Ethelinda, to throw a wand into the works. Ethelinda’s timing couldn’t be worse. A plot hatched by MSI’s rogue ex-employees, Idris and his evil fairy gal pal Ari, threatens to expose the company’s secrets–and the very existence of magic itself. Even worse, it could also mean the end of Katie’s happily-ever-after. Now Katie and Owen must work side by side (but alas, not cheek to cheek) to thwart the villains’ plans. Braving black-magic-wielding sorceresses, subway-dwelling dragons, lovelorn frog princes, and even the dreaded trip to meet Owen’s parents at Christmas, Katie and her beau are in a battle to beat Idris at his own sinister game. All mischief and matters of the heart will come to a head at a big New Year’s Eve gala, when the crystal ball will drop, champagne will pour, and Katie will find herself truly spellbound.
