Merupuri -
All high school freshman Airi Hoshina ever wanted was to someday live in a cozy home with a loving husband, and find joy in the little things in life.  As a result, she makes it her daily mission to get to school on time because school legend has it that the longer one's non-tardy streak is, the better boyfriend one will find.  But just when her daily routine is working like clockwork, an occurrence of fairytale proportions threatens to disrupt her grand plan.

On the way to school one morning, Airi loses her mirror - one that had been passed down to her through generations - and suddenly finds herself in a bizarre situation.  Never in her wildest dreams did she expect Aram, a little boy from a magical kingdom, to have emerged from the mirror in the short time it took her to track it down!

And once he's done posing as his brother, he reverts back to that form!  Will love really conquer all in this mixed up triangle?

The Palette of 12 Secret Colors - 
On the island of Opal live the world's most colorful birds.  The birds have attracted a school for aspiring "Palettes" - wizards who have the ability to borrow color from one object and paint its qualities on to another.  Young Cello has the potential to be a great Palette, but she just can't seem to control her power.  As the end of freshman year approaches she's on the verge of failing, so she's going to need all the help her bird Yoyo can provide.
