Mamotte! Lollipop by Michiyo Kikuta

Complete series Volumes 1-7. Another "if the library collects, I will read."

Summary: After accidentally swallowing a mysterious candy, Nina learns that it was in fact the Crystal Pearl, an object that the many Magic Examinees are trying to obtain to pass their exams and become Wizards in the Magic World. When it turns out it cannot be removed, Ichi and Zero, Examinees 1 & 2, swear to protect her for the six months of the exam and move into a magical space in her closet. As they are "attacked" by more and more Examinees, hijinks and romance ensue. And when the six months are up, things only get more complicated as Nina discovers her friends aren't the only ones with magical powers! And with two cute guys (and more!) up for grabs, who is her true love?

Reality Check: A light, fun story. Pleasant art, quirky characters, enough action and romance to accommodate everyone. And the backstories have some meat to them.

Conclusion: A good read if you're looking for something light and fun.

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy
