シュガシュガルーン [Sugar Sugar Rune] #6
Sugar Sugar Rune, Volume 6
DARK SHADOWS
Outgoing Chocolat and shy 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 ended their friendship. Worse, Vanilla has embraced the Dark Magic of the Ogres and is now an enemy of all witches.
While trying to coax Vanilla out of her deep enchanted slumber and take her away from the Ogres, Chocolat discovers something about herself. She’s a Filtre–one who has the power to change sickened, black noir hearts to white! Meanwhile, Chocolat’s crush–the Ogre prince Pierre–has infiltrated her school. What is his plan? Chocolat wants to believe that deep down Pierre means well–but how can she?

A LOT happens in this volume, so, without giving anything away, let me just say that maybe about three things (minimum) that readers have been waiting for to happen have finally happened!
A very satisfying read, to be sure!

Bon Dieu j'avais oublié à quel point ce tome est génialissime? L'histoire prend un réel tournant et les révélations sont incroyables! Du mystère s'installe sur l'avenir du royaume magique. Ce tome se termine sur une surprise fabuleuse! Le petit bonus qui nous apprend d'où viennent les écharpes de Saule et de Houx est adorable! Je suis très heureuse d'avoir relu ce tome.

I particularly liked this volume (the best?) among the eight volumes of Sugar Sugar Rune. The characterization of Vanilla and Chocolat was stellar, and the reader finally gets a better sense of what Chocolat sees in her adversary/love interest Pierre. The art in this volume was lovely and I sped through every panel as if I the story was animated.

💖 Questo volume mi ha davvero emozionata. La tensione tra Pierre e Chocola, divisi dal destino ma uniti dal cuore… e io? Totalmente in fissa! Ormai di nuovo nemici nonostante i sentimenti che li legano, è struggente. La copertina del capitolo 30 è un gioiello: dettagliata, suggestiva, semplicemente splendida.
✨ Sono rimasta colpita dalla forza e dalla determinazione di Chocola nel salvare Vanilla e ancor più sorpresa nello scoprire che lei stessa sia un filtro capace di purificare i cuori neri, trasformandoli in bianchi: un dono raro e potentissimo.
🖤 Il momento in cui Chocola si rende conto di amare davvero Pierre, con tutte le sue ombre, scalda il cuore. E la trasformazione del suo famiglio in umano? Incredibile!
Un volume intenso, sorprendente e pieno di riflessioni.
Ho apprezzato davvero moltissimo il capitolo bonus dedicato all’infanzia delle due streghette. L’ho trovato tenero, dolce e capace di mostrare un lato nuovo e più intimo delle protagoniste.💕Un piccolo regalo che scalda il cuore e che rende ancora più speciale questo volume. Non vedo l’ora di continuare questa storia e scoprire cosa il destino ha in serbo per loro.

A bit of a disappointment: things feel a little all over the place to me. Teleporting to the Oscars ceremony? That came out of nowhere!
The manga started with ogres deciding to create a table reserved for the elite in the school cafeteria, only for Chocola and Vanilla to later go through a deep introspection with the help of a movie star who turns out to be a Light Witch we had never seen before… These story elements aren’t bad in themselves, but they follow one another quite quickly.
I also feel that Vanilla and Chocola reconcile a bit too fast, without any real discussion.
That said, the introspective parts are still very interesting, especially when we discover the burden Vanilla carries from having a mother who is the Queen of the Magical Kingdom. It explains her emotional emptiness and lack of self-confidence. This kind of psychological depth in the characters is one of the series’ real strengths.
All in all, the art remains as beautiful as ever, with stunning settings, outfits, and magical details, but the plot feels a little lost along the way. A shame!

Je m'attendais à ce que ça devienne bizarre entre Pierre et Chocola, mais que ça change avec Vanilla. Je suis quand même surprise par l'évolution de la situation, notamment avec les ogres. Je ne sais plus qui est de quel côté, qui est le vrai gentil et le méchant qui se dévoile ou qui revient.. C'est complètement flou 😅 Les filles s'acceptent telles qu'elles sont, j'aime toujours plus cette série.

C'est toujours aussi bien, l'intrigue progresse bien et j'adore le fait que les pouvoirs de Chocola évoluent ainsi que sa relation avec Pierre et Vanilla ; hâte de savoir le secret sur la mère de Chocola et sur Duke !!

Un tome qui fait un peu remonter la série dans mon estime. Il se passe pas mal de choses et il y a des révélations. Il y a encore assez de mystère pour continuer et lire la suite.

I dunno man... This one was a bit underwhelming. At least Chocola and Vanilla are finally reunited.

Vanilla est enfin plus développée. Cependant, l'ordre de lecture reste peu clair ainsi que les transitions entre les différents points de lintry

Tra i 6 volumi che ho letto, questo è quello che mi è piaciuto di più 🤎

Tome avec des moments captivants, mais également des moments un peu trop longs, ennuyants. Néanmoins, j'aime beaucoup le fait que le conflit avec les ogres prend davantage d'ampleur, ainsi que les sentiments de Pierre et de Chocola. D'ailleurs, je ne me souvenais plus d'un événement majeur qui arrive à la fin de ce tome, et qui change par rapport à l'anime, j'ai hâte de redécouvrir ce que cela implique.

Gah!!! There is so much I liked about this volume!!! But mostly, YAY I'M SO HAPPY I also loved the very end... I totally said "awww" at the last page outloud. I also loved Vanilla's outfit in the Christmas special at the end! So cute!!
EEEK!!! Two volumes left!! I can't wait to find out how this all ties up and ends!!
