    This is actually the very first light novel I ever came in contact with and I sooo want to see this one getting translated too! The fairy folklore in this story is also totally interesting.

    More covers:

    spoiler

    Name: Sugar Apple Fairytale
    シュガーアップル・フェアリーテイル
    Author: Miri Mikawa
    Artist: Aki
    Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Romance, Shoujo
    Publisher: Kadokawa
    Volumes: 17 (Complete)
    Manga Adaption: Yes
    Description: In the Kingdom of Highland, a country where fairies are slaves of the humans, Ann Halford, a Candy Craftswoman, decides to purchase one in order to arrive the once-yearly Candy Fair to achieve the title of Silver Sugar Master.

    (After her mother passes away, Ann decides to leave town in order to become a Silver Sugar Master like her mother-a highly regarded occupation in the country of Highland in which 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.

    Fairies in this world are treated as slaves by humans. Humans take one of their wings in order to control them. Ann reluctantly buys a fairy named Shall to be a bodyguard on her way to Lewiston. The first volume tells the story of their journey to the festival and Ann's attempts to become friends with Shall, which is impossible as long as she holds his wing. Ann is torn between setting the fairy free but needing a bodyguard on the dangerous roads to the festival to become a Silver Sugar Master like her mother. The volume ends with the results of the sugar sculpture festival.)

    Admin edit: Really hard to navigate this post with so many images, so hid most of them in a spoiler.

      I've read the first fan-translated volume of this and really enjoyed it. I'm all for getting more shoujo light novels licensed so you've got my vote and this one is unique as the story is not set in an otome game for once.

      To elaborate on the synopsis a little:
      After her mother passes away, Ann decides to leave town in order to become a Silver Sugar Master like her mother-a highly regarded occupation in the country of Highland in which 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.

      Fairies in this world are treated as slaves by humans. Humans take one of their wings in order to control them. Ann reluctantly buys a fairy named Shall to be a bodyguard on her way to Lewiston. The first volume tells the story of their journey to the festival and Ann's attempts to become friends with Shall, which is impossible as long as she holds his wing. Ann is torn between setting the fairy free but needing a bodyguard on the dangerous roads to the festival to become a Silver Sugar Master like her mother. The volume ends with the results of the sugar sculpture festival.

        This sounds like a fun LN. I think it would be kinda hard for JNC to license a 17 volume Kadokawa shoujo novel series that never had an anime, though. This is probably one I would be fine with Sam licensing the first like 3 or so volumes to see how the market would respond.

            @legitpancake It would be nice if more 'girls' novels would be licensed. So far I had the thought, that only novels, that are better suited for guys would get licensed.

              @silvercat422 Could you also add the first volume's cover image to your post?

                @hyperion I honestly do not think you need the cover image

                Though I could see how that can helpful as you may not remember the name of a series but you will remember it from the cover.

                  Oh hey, I was just thinking how, with all the LNs about male protagonists taking female slaves (with varying degrees of romance and emancipation), there should be some about female protagonists taking on male slaves. I guess here is one. Fairies being involved is a plus, overall story seems nice, and art looks good too... so yeah, upvoted.

                    @stardf29 male here and wouldn’t mind series like that happening. Would be interesting to read as a male and would make a nice change to what we currently have already.

                        Oh, this was the very first novel I've ever got interested in and at the same time introduced me to the world of light novels. I really would like to read it, the story is super interesting and I love everything that has something to do with fairies!!!

                          When I think back, this novel was the very first one I've ever got interested in and also introduced me to the light novel world. It is my very favorite one, I just love it!!! And the manga is good too!

                            Next to Earl and Fairy this is the best novel with a fairy setting I could think of! I would love to see this getting licensed, I would definitely buy this!!! Maybe Sam can license the first three volumes, like someone on this thread already suggested, to see, if it will sell and if the readers will like it (I definitely will).

                              Now that J-Novel Club has a shoujo imprint, I'd like to nominate this as a potential pick up for it down the line. I'd love to read this.

                                  It'd be nice if we could go in and add the "shoujo" tag to all of them, then they could be all grouped together.

                                    Well, the OPs need to change it tho.
                                    Aside from my last suggestion, only 2 has Shoujo tag (and one of them is manga)

                                        I really hope now, that the shoujo label got etablished, that this novel gets a higher chance for licensing.

                                          @silvercat422 It probably has a higher chance now and many readers really want it too, so I don‘t really see a problem with it. I think the length of the series is also okay for licensing.
