A new key visual for the Sugar Apple Fairy Tale anime has been released in advance of its upcoming second cour, which begins this July.
Details about the new cour’s theme songs were released as well. The opening song is titled “Surprise” and is performed by Rei Nakashima while the ending song is titled “door” and is performed by Nao Touyama. Both songs will be released as singles in July, with “Surprise” coming out on July 19 and “door” releasing on July 26.
Sugar Apple Fairy Tale‘s first cour premiered on January 6 and ran until March 24. The anime is based on the KADOKAWA-published light novel series written by Miri Mikawa and illustrated by Aki.
Seven Seas Entertainment describes the light novels 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 is directed by Youhei Suzuki (Kiyo in Kyoto, Million Arthur) with 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 Halford, Masaaki Mizunaka as Shall Fen Shall, Rie Takahashi as Mythrill Reid Pod, and Tomoaki Maeno as Hugh Mercury.
The Sugar Apple Fairy Tale light novels first ran from 2010 to 2017 with 17 volumes (including two short story anthologies), with a new volume released in December 2022. The books are 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 publishes the newer manga series in English.
