13th of AniMay

The 13th of May happily coincides with Black Fae Day so this will be a magical post!

 

 

How about a story about fairies that come to the human world?  Well that's exactly what  A Little Snow Fairy Sugar  is 

 (ちっちゃな雪使いシュガー)  Chicchana Yukitsukai Shugā

The story is about three apprentice season fairies who try to become the best with the help of their human foil. I mean more or less.  

IF you follow CBR.com they say this about the show:

Deep in a mysterious, mystical forest live creatures called Season Fairies. They have control over the weather; whether it's creating a gust of wind or making flowers grow, they're just the fairies for the job.  Apprentice fairies Sugar, Salt, and Pepper want to earn their titles as full-fledged Season Fairies. They must find the "Twinkles" to pass the test, but none of them know where to get started. The three fairies meet Saga, a young girl who can see fairies, and ask her for help. Saga is reluctant, wanting to keep her life peaceful and fairy-free, but after a while, she begrudgingly agrees.

Or if you are Wikipedia person:

The story is based around 11-year-old Saga Bergman, a young girl in a small German town called Muhlenberg (based on real town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber). Saga lives with her grandmother Regina and works in a coffee shop when not in school. Saga is extremely structured and plans her life down to the minute. One day, she notices a tiny creature in a fluffy outfit that appears to be starving. She offers it a waffle, which helps revive the tiny creature. Saga learns that this tiny creature is Sugar, an apprentice season fairy. Sugar explains that season fairies alter the weather by playing a magical musical instrument, and her specialty is snow, which she creates by playing the piccolo. Sugar is joined by two more apprentice season fairies, Salt, an outgoing male fairy who plays the trumpet to make the sun shine more brightly, and Pepper, a quiet and caring female fairy who plays the harp to make the wind blow.

All three apprentices are shocked at the realization that Saga can see them, since humans are not supposed to be able to see season fairies. Pepper speculates that exceptional humans might be able to see them, which is the best possible explanation. Sugar tells Saga that the three have been sent to Earth to train as full-fledged season fairies, and to do that, they must find 'Twinkles'.
