It’s the penultimate volume and Diamond’s spell makes Nina’s every wish come true! But which boy does she wish for? From the beginning of the manga, she couldn’t decide between hotties Zero and Ichi. Now she’s going to have to make a choice! When Diamond’s trick is a failure, the baddies get cutie pie Clover to use his tricks to capture Nina. Soon she and her friends are trapped in a spell that you have to find your true love to get out. With her heart torn between two guys, Nina might be stuck there forever! But this trap is an opportunity for Ichi to steal a kiss of his own and confess his feelings to Nina. Will this tip the scales of her heart? When Spade tries his magic, he manages to steal Zero’s. Now Zero can’t stop Spade from kidnapping Nina! Even without his magic, Zero is intent on rescuing the girl, and Ichi, along with all their former wizard rivals (warm fuzzy moment alert!), joins the rescue effort. They storm the king’s palace and it’s a full out battle. But Nina is getting in over her head and for once her boys might be on the wrong side of the fight! The manga has all sorts of extras including a re-print of Michiyo Kikuta’s very first manga story about a samuri and a mystical fox girl set in feudal Japan. There are also mini-theatres, translation notes and illustrations.
IN SUMMARY:
