action
Ten-year-old Chocolat Meilleur (シ ョ コ ラ = メ イ ユ ー ル) and her friend Vanilla Meiux (バ ニ ラ = ミ ュ ー) are witches. Both want to become queen of the magical world. To do this, they have to go into the human world and collect as many boys' hearts as possible there. The witch who collects the most hearts becomes queen. Unlike humans, witches have only one heart. If this is deep red, the witch must give it to her lover. There are also evil wizards, the "Ogule", who want to steal the hearts of witches.
Chocolat and vanilla go into the human world. While Chocolat was more popular than her friend in the magical world because of her courage and strength, people prefer vanilla because of her shyness and fearfulness. The two collect their first hearts. Chocolat falls in love with Pierre. This one is an ogul and wants to steal her heart.
The friendship between Vanilla and Chocolat is becoming increasingly fragile due to frequent quarrels. In contrast to Vanilla, Chocolat is concentrating less and less on the hunt for the heart and threatens to lose its qualification for the spring exam. Finally, Chocolat can take the spring exam because it has collected enough hearts on Valentine's Day. She wins the exam and moves up a rank.
Out of a dispute, Vanilla and Chocolat decide to fight. When Vanilla threatens to drown during this competition and Chocolat saves her, Chocolat itself is shocked and threatens to drown. Pierre, who is also present, jumps into the water to save her. Chocolat and Pierre end up on the forgotten path, where the two inadvertently get closer. They arrive in the infinite eternity, where their memories float past them. You end up in the magical world and only get back into the human world after some exertion.
