Merry Christmas! To celebrate, please enjoy this English translation of Chocolate Christmas written by the creator of Sailor Moon: Naoko Takeuchi!

Part 1 of Chocolate Christmas follows the adventures of Ryon, a lonely girl whose life is changed by a radio broadcast she listens to on Christmas Eve. She falls in love with the show’s DJ, “Mr. Choco” – and this story tells her year-long adventure to find him while working part time in a radio studio!

Part 2 of Chocolate Christmas, titled “Wink Rain”, follows the love-square of Marin, Aya, Itou, and Koizumi as they try to navigate their first year in high school apart from each other. It is a very romantic one-shot, part of Naoko Takeuchi’s “rain collection” in which all the stories are focused around the theme of rain. The trend for this continues in Naoko Takeuchi’s work “Miss Rain”, a compilation of five short stories with the same theme. “Wink Rain” can be considered the prequel to the “Miss Rain” short story line.
