Plot edit

Nina Yamada is a seventh grade student who dreams about a prince charming who will always protect her, no matter what. One day, Nina accidentally swallowed a Crystal Pearl that she assumed was candy that came with her cake. But the Crystal Pearl was the goal of a sorcery examination. Nina becomes the new target by many probationer sorcerers and goes on for half a year. During this whole mix up, she meets two wizard boys named Zero and Ichii and comes to a conclusion that they protect her until a potion is made to remove the Crystal Pearl from her. However, this potion will take about six months to complete. Despite how long it took Zero and Ichii decided to protect Nina. Even at school and at home, Zero and Ichii protect Nina where ever she goes. Despite Nina finding it annoying that the two follow her around everywhere, it is for her own good.

Characters edit

Main edit

Nina Yamada (山田二菜, Yamada Nina)
Voiced by: Yui Shoji (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski (English)
Nina is a seventh grade girl with an aggressive character, though she is also a caring, child-like, sweet teenager most of the time. She doesn't take insults very well. This is shown when she is often clashing with Zero, who usually calls her "stupid", "idiot", or "dork".
She is targeted by many sorcerer examinees as she accidentally swallowed the Crystal Pearl which they need in order to pass their professional wizard exam. Zero and Ichii are her guardians. Her hobbies include shopping, and to stretch or do sit-ups. Nina is extremely bad at all forms of housework, but she does not seem to realize this. She wishes to have a boyfriend who is kind, strong, and protective. However, she is caught in a love triangle with Zero and Ichii because they fit the type of boy she would like.
In the end she decides that she loves Zero. In one of the chapters in the manga, Nina and Zero kiss when Heart attacked them (causing a smoke screen) but Nina was unaware until Zero confessed to it at the end of Volume 5. In volume 6 Nina realizes that she does love him. In volume 7 of Mamotte! Lollipop, when she is 22 years old, she is depicted with shorter hair and comes for a summer break in the magic world.
Zero (ゼロ, Zero)
Voiced by: Miki Ōtani (Japanese); Eric Vale, Alison Viktorin (child) (English)
Zero has aqua blue hair and is the same age as Nina.
Zero has a very rude and cocky personality, often shown clashing with Nina. He owns little tolerance and is highly rebellious towards those who get in his in way. Zero is a particularly an impatient person and has an extremely short temper.
He is especially good at destruction magic and he is often shown making fun of Nina, therefore, always getting himself into arguments with her or most of the time getting a beating from Nina. But despite the way he treats Nina, it soon becomes clear that he is in love with her and truly wishes to protect her from any harm. Their relationship gradually becomes better throughout the series, and in the manga, he even admits his love to her. At the end of volume 7, when he is 23 years old, he proposes to her and she accepts.
Ichii (イチイ, Ichī)
Voiced by: Daisuke Nakamura (Japanese); J. Michael Tatum (English)
Ichii/Yakumo is two years older than Nina and Zero. He is depicted as a kindhearted boy. Ichii is exceedingly polite and mature, thus making him a gentleman.
He had a rough past, but opened up more ever since that day he met Zero, approximately three years ago. He has an older stepsister named Sarasa, whom he used to be in love with until she married Zero's older brother, Jeff. His specialty is "defense magic". Apparently, as well as Zero, it was shown that Ichii loved Nina as well, but Nina chose Zero. It was also shown on the side story on the last volume, that he married Rokka (a girl who was chasing Ichii in the start of the magical exam and thought Nina was trying to steal Ichii away from her).

Supporting edit

San Sherard (サン・シェラルド, San Sherarudo)
Voiced by: Momoko Saito (Japanese); Monica Rial (English)
San is a sorcerer specialized in summoning magic. She is seen summoning a giant cat, flying fish, wild catfish, and many other creatures. San has long dark blue hair with bangs in the front along with dark blue eyes. She is usually shown with a pink hair band in her hair with two pink bows at both sides of her head and a purple dress with white frills and a little pink bow on her chest. She wears white stockings with black Mary Jane like shoes. She carries a gold colored staff with a gold and blue color wheel shaped top to summon her creatures with her magic.
San was very happy to have a friend and played games with Forte, dragging him around to get her food. She had a harsh past because of her magical powers where she was younger. Her mother was very ill, and many of her relatives blamed her, saying that she was "cursed" because of her magic powers to summon creatures. Forte had burst out with anger as he overheard their relatives talking about how San was cursed. He took San, holding her hand to go to the tree where he became friends with her and told her that he would always be their for her. San then burst out in tears crying on Forte's shoulder wanting her mother. San always tries to smile because her mother told her that if she kept smiling, then something good would happen.
Nanase Akatsuki
Voiced by: Rie Miyoshi (Japanese); Sean Michael Teague, Carrie Savage (child) (English)

Kuku specializes in Animal Transformation Magic, Not much is to tell about Kuku's past, when she first met Nina she and her friends had mistaken her for a boy but then they realize her true gender after Zero rips her shirt in front of the whole class. All there is that Kuku and Zero were to have an arranged marriage, set up by both of their parents. Eventually, Zero refused and went on with his dream to become a professional sorcerer. Kuku, however, hasn't gotten over her feelings for Zero and eventually followed him to his school and, just like Rokka, was obsessed with her fiance and didn't stop to get what she wanted. Zero states that,"Our parents decided that we should get married. I DIDN'T." Where she interrupted,"It doesn't matter if our parents made the decision! A promise is still a promise!"

When he went with Kuku to find Zero, things got out of hand and Kuku turned the entire school into animals. Before that, Toto gets a lecture about love by Zura.
