English Dub Review: Sugar Apple Fairy Tale “The Radcliffe Workshop”

Overview

Anne learns that, due to the poor sugar apple crop, the Radcliffe school will be processing all the silver sugar this year. Only artisans who help with the work will receive a portion. The shocking news sends Anne rushing to the Radcliffe workshop…

Our Take

In an unexpected Time-Skip that takes place nine months later, Anne returns to Lewiston to prepare for the Royal Candy Fair and runs into Kat along the way. Kat informs Anne that due to this year’s unusually low crop yield of sugar apples, harvesting by individuals is banned.

To participate, Anne will need to make her supply of silver sugar by temporarily residing at the Radcliffe school, and having not been informed of the edict on purpose due to her reputation, she heads to the workshop. At the workshop, she just so happens to encounter that scoundrel Jonas and the receptionist Sammy Jones, At first, Sammy bullies Anne until Keith Powell arrives to intervene. The next day after spending a night at the dormitory, Keith later explains that he helped Anne get in due to personal ulterior motives of his own…

Overall, as a relatively new character, I want to believe Keith is a nice guy throughout but Jonas has made me skeptical of everyone who acts nice to Anne. Who knows as well, Anne’s work might get stolen or broken again. Also, sad to say, but I’m finding the romance quite forced and cringe, but it is what it is I suppose…
