The anime adaptation of Sugar Apple Fairy Tale will begin telling the story of aspiring Silver Sugar Master Anne Halford next January, a new announcement has revealed.
A 2023 release window, teaser trailer, and teaser visual were revealed in August this year.
Sugar Apple Fairy Tale is based on the Kadokawa-published light novels written by Miri Mikawa and illustrated by Aki. The series ran from 2010 to 2017 with 17 volumes (including two short story anthologies) and is published under the Kadokawa Beans Bunko label. A Hakusensha-published manga adaptation by Aruto Yukimura ran from 2012 to 2014, while a Kadokawa-published manga by Yozora no Udon began in 2021.
Seven Seas Entertainment, which publishes both the light novels and the new manga, describes the plot as:
Anne Halford is a candy crafter determined to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a Silver Sugar Master, a title bestowed only by royalty. In order to travel to the capital and realize her dream, she purchases Challe, a handsome but foul-mouthed fairy, as her bodyguard. Anne wishes to befriend her new companion, but in this kingdom where fairies are treated as property, Challe wants nothing to do with humans. Will this journey with Anne change his mind…?
The anime’s staff includes Youhei Suzuki (Kiyo in Kyoto, Million Arthur) as director, Seishi Minakami (Vatican Miracle Examiner) as series composer, Haruko Iizuka (Josee, the Tiger and the Fish, Horimiya) as character designer, and Hinako Tsubakiyama (Sabikui Bisco co-composer) as music composer. J.C.STAFF is the animation production company.
Meanwhile, the cast includes Yuka Nukui as Ann Halfor, Masaaki Mizunaka as Shall Fen Shall, Rie Takahashi as Mythrill Reid Pod, and Tomoaki Maeno as Hugh Mercury.
