About this title

Synopsis

In an age of magic and sorcery, the world is divided between those who have supernatural powers and those who don't. Fighting for justice and against black magic and evildoers everywhere are the Sorcerer Hunters: Gateau, Carrot, Chocolat, Mocha, and the rest of the gang. Their quest is to destroy each of the Platina stones- the objects the evil sorcerers use for creating their black magic - in an entertaining mix of farce and adventure. (Source: Tokyopop)

Main characters

Age: 19 Weapon: Garrote Wire The sexy, straightforward, sometimes high-maintenance, short-tempered and somewhat nymphomaniac older sister of Tira. She is madly in love with Carrot (whom she more than often calls "Darling"), and literally throws herself at him. Often, Carrot is petrified of her and flees from her advances. Still, she keeps a close bond with Tira, protecting her when it's needed and fighting in her name more than once. She and Gateau are a separate team early in the manga, but eventually all five form a single group. Chocolate is likewise a dominatrix, but is far more violent and savage than her sister, and is also able to turn Carrot back to normal in the anime — after beating him up even harder than Tira. Her main weapon is her garrote and she is incredibly skilled with it. It's suggested that her character was inspired by Lum from Urusei Yatsura. Chocolate's dominatrix attire has a rather dark tone in the manga and OVAs in that she resembles a Nazi German soldier. Consisting of a leather cap (with the Nazi symbols of the eagle carrying the swastika as well as the Gestapo Death's Head), suspenders that barely cover her ample bust, leather pants and boots. (Her dominatrix attire in the manga and OVAs is also reminiscent of that worn by Charlotte Rampling in the 1974 film The Night Porter.) However, in the TV anime, her attire is more reflective of a biker: a slightly modest red leather bra top, along with similar leather pants, boots and cap (sans the Nazi symbol), with red gloves. At the end of the anime, after being reborn, Chocolate appeared in her manga outfit with her sister. Even though she loves Carrot sincerely, Chocolate is a very jealous girl and is quite vicious and ferocious towards Carrot when she catches him cheating on her, and whips him mercilessly. Normally, however, she is very amorous and romantic towards him, always smothering him in deep love and affection, which is the reason Carrot keeps his distance from her between the two sisters. Chocolate often has romantic/sexual dreams of her and Carrot together. These shōjoesque fantasies usually feature Carrot as very well-groomed and debonair-looking, as well as often ending in Carrot making love to her; in which she often goes into romantic/orgasmic frenzies. Oddly enough, her own image in these fantasies show her to be either meek or submissive, which is a big change from what she truly is.

Age: 16 Height: 158 cm Weight: 42 kg She, along with Chocolate, was raised by Carrot and Marron's father and mother, Onion and Apricot. She resembles Little Red Riding Hood, dressed in an oversized cloak and glasses. She seems very meek and shy, but reveals a bolder side of her personality in combat, pulling away her cloak and revealing her whip and leather Dominatrix gear. She is very skilled with the whip, and is the one who usually beats Carrot down after he transforms, turning him back to human form in the anime. Tira is deeply in love with Carrot, but due to her shy nature she isn't very up-front until later in the manga. Tira gets jealous when Carrot flirts with other girls, and along with her sister Chocolate, she whips Carrot as punishment for his wandering eyes (though Tira is not as vicious as Chocolate is). In battle, Tira occasionally uses a wire/thread instead of a whip. She also has basic knowledge of Gaia's magic, which is derived from nature; magic she learned from Apricot Glace, though she is only able to heal with it. Her dominatrix attire in the manga and OAVs is the traditional ensemble consisting of leather stiletto-heel boots, bustiers, corsets, spiked dog chains, etc. Her anime attire, however, has a more colorful style, consisting of a tight, skimpy, orange and white leotard with an emerald "tie," white gloves and heels. In the manga, her dominatrix outfit changes often—sometimes even during the same story. In the anime, she appeared in her manga outfit after being reborn.
Marron Glace17 fan favorites

Age: 16 Hair: Black Brother: Carrot Marron gets the provisions and usually doesn't say much unless it is intensely profound. He is also the only Sorcerer Hunter (in the name at least) who can use magic. Marron's main and only goal is to make his brother happy and to protect his brother, giving up all pleasures and desires for himself. It seems as if Marron is the weakest character, but when Carrot is threatened, his vicious side shows through. However, Marron does not stop Tira or Chocolate from doing what they will to Carrot. Marron is very beautiful and often gets looks from both sexes. Once or twice he has used this to his advantage by getting information or by letting a few guards believe he is a girl. If anything, Marron can be counted on and always has the right answer.
Carrot Glace14 fan favorites

Age: 17 Hair: Black Weapon and Power: He carries a sword which he doesn't use very well. His one power is zooantropy. Habit: Has this strange habit of eating anything he finds on the ground and then choking on it. Also note that when he is shouting out that he wants a woman that he will spiel a bunch of nonsense and then trip or fall on the ground. The reluctant hero and leader of the Sorcerer Hunters, Carrot is the ultimate ladies man, but only in his own mind. The thousands of girls that slap him in the face don't discourage him on his endless search for love...or a quickie in bed, whichever he can get. The one place he can get love (Tira and Chocolate) is the one place he rejects it. Carrot is the comedy relief and although he seems like a perverted jerk most of the time he does have a good heart.
Gateau Mocha3 fan favorites

Age: 19 Hair: Blonde Weapon: Fists He's the muscle and he loves to flaunt it. When it's time to get firewood, that's usually Gateau's main job while traveling. He joined the Sorcerer Hunters in search of his sister Eclair, who has disappeared.
