Sugar Sugar Rune

A charming and whimsical shojo manga series from the mid-2000s, Sugar Sugar Rune follows two young witches competing to become the next Queen of the Magical World by collecting the hearts of human boys. Published by Random House, this 8-issue run brings creator Moyoco Anno’s signature blend of magical-girl fantasy and sharp social commentary to a story about friendship, rivalry, and growing up. With its distinctive art style and clever take on the "magical girl" genre, the series stands out for exploring themes of identity and emotion through a deceptively sweet premise.
