Synopsis:

Chocolat Meilleure and Vanilla Mieux, lifelong friends and aspiring witches, find themselves in a competitive path toward leadership within the magical realm. To earn the title of queen, they must integrate into a human school system, navigating the complexities of peer relationships and striving to inspire feelings of affection. A significant rule dictates that a witch who forms a deep connection with a human will face fatal consequences, adding an element of risk to their quest.

The series follows Chocolat and Vanilla as they balance academic life with duties to protect their kingdom from external threats like the Ogres. Their journey unfolds through magical transformations, interwoven with themes of rivalry, affection, and the delicate power of human connection. The narrative explores how personal ambition clashes with loyalty to one's people, all while maintaining a carefully concealed magical identity in the mundane world.
