 An anime adaptation of Miri Mikawa's Sugar Apple Fairy Tale light novel was announced by publishing company Kadokawa on Friday. The anime project is celebrating the Kadokawa Beans Bunko imprint's 20th anniversary.Synopsis After her mother passes away, Ann decides to become a Silver Sugar Master like her mother—a highly regarded occupation in the country of Highland, where very few masters of the craft exist. Ann leaves for the town of Lewiston, where the royal family holds a sugar sculpture festival. To become a Silver Sugar Master, she has to win the top spot and receive a royal medal. In this world, humans treat fairies as slaves and take one of their wings to control them. Ann reluctantly buys a fairy named Shall to be a bodyguard on her way to Lewiston. Ann is torn between setting Shall free, but needing a bodyguard on the dangerous roads to the festival. (Source: J-Novel Club Forums, edited) Kadokawa's Beans Bunko imprint began printing the adventure fantasy light novel in April 2010, featuring illustrations by Aki. The 17th and final volume shipped in February 2015. Alto Yukimura (Colette wa Shinu Koto ni Shita) drew a manga adaptation on the Hana to Yume Online website between November 2012 and October 2014. Kadokawa published the second and final volume in the same month.

| Damn, a finished light novel getting an adaptation? This must be good then. |
| Looks interesting hmmm bunch of light novel getting anime announced today out of nowhere could this lead to death mage anime? find out in next episode of dragon ball z |
| I think I read some of it a while ago- I confess I can't remember exactly what happened, but it was decent. Depending on the quality of adaptation, this has potential |
| An LN that ended 6 years ago getting an anime is quite the surprise. |
 |
| Sooo glad more light novels targeted at a female demographic are being adapted! Definitely adding to my PTW and hope this trend continues! ^-^ |
 My Shoujo, Josei and Female targeted anime adaptations starting from 2017+ stacks: Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9181 Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9195 Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9225 Part 4: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9280 |

 |
| Sugar Apple Fairy Tale in itself sounds like something I really want to watch lol. |
| The two paragraphs of the synopsis sound like entirely different shows. That doesn't bode well, so I'll quit while I'm ahead and skip it. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| I hope this turns out good. I can’t help but be skeptical of a novel that had 17 volumes written over a mere 5 years. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| I'll check this out solely because I have a feeling that it could turn out great |
| oh wow this announcement is a pleasant surprise for three main reasons: 1) this, or at least the manga is, a shoujo seriously we've been lacking those a lot lately 2) this is somewhat fairy-tale inspired which i never thought the industry would try to do again 3) believe it or not the industry is FINALLY producing something i actually frickin recognize ...yeah, i meant that last part seriously. i read a tiny bit of the manga adaptation 2 years ago. don't remember much of it since i read so little of it back then, so even if i wanted to be mean for some reason, i thankfully can't spoil you guys, gals, and pals... i'm not going to put this on my PTW list quite yet cuz i want to wait for staff announcement and PVs, but just know that i'm finally even the slightest bit announcement for a new anime after a while. this is also good cuz that means the light novels and manga have a good chance of getting releases outside of Japan so i don't have to rely on potentially scattershot fan translations anymore. @Psajdak you made that thread on fairy tale theme working in 2020s anime a while ago, ik this isn't adaptation of classics but thoughts? the manga adaptation is pretty obscure even on the shoujo side, so i think i might be able to at least answer a few questions based on my limited knowledge and memory on it. ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ZXEAN said: is this what you mean by slow life?Gonna skip it, if it's turn out to be another slow life anime. "These manga feature characters who have had their fill of excitement, adventures, and drama, and seek a more peaceful life. They may be Isekai'd heroes, villains, high-ranking adventurers, or a typical salaryman, but they all share something in common: they've had enough and want to retire to a slow and peaceful life." (from Anime-Planet) because i clearly remember the manga being more about the heroine and fairy companion traveling so no this is not a slow life light novel series this is definitely not isekai either which i think will be a breath of fresh air ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ lazyinternsan said: agreedI think I read some of it a while ago- I confess I can't remember exactly what happened, but it was decent.

| Ohh the sypnosis sounds interesting! Gonna give it try, glad more fantasy shoujo like this get adapted! |
 |
| This seems rather interesting. As long as it's aimed toward a young audience, and doesn't have any sex or extreme violence, I'll definitely check it out. |
 |
| Eeehhh.. this sounds and looks familiar... I have a feeling I've read the novel/manga. But can't exactly remember anything... Oh well, I'll see how it goes~ |
| A certain person lurking here |
| This one seems to be actually boring compared to last few SoL fantasy titles being announced. It reminds me of something on the level of the old Marl Kingdom games but just not as interesting. |
 |
| Oh, I just read this for this year's Manga Reading Challenge! It wasn't amazing, but it's one of the better shoujo fantasy I've been reading lately (mostly isekais lol and this one isn't). It isn't a slice of life series, it's an adventure.. at least the part in the manga since they've only adapted the 1st part of the story. Interested to see if the anime will adapt more or maybe even the completed story since the novel is completed. |
| OH wow, finally something really original (though the source is not). MegamiRem said: This is quite surprisng though. If the anime could also wrap up the LN that would be the perfect Sugar sweetness of a work.An LN that ended 6 years ago getting an anime is quite the surprise. |
 |
| Seems fantasy slice of life anime. The story sounds generic but the art in the LN is good |
