Trouble Chocolate, Vol. 1
Complications ensue when Cacao, the hero of this featherweight romantic  comedy, awakens to find the green-haired Hinano in bed with him. As he  reconstructs the previous day, he learns that he sneezed as Professor Ganache  was casting a spell, causing a faerie to enter a marionette's body and create  Hinano. Klutzy and perennially famished, Cacao is another in the long line of  agreeable goofs with untapped potential, in this case the ability to become a  "great sorcerer." Hinano adores Cacao, to the chagrin of the dashing Truffle,  who is smitten with her. The filmmakers spoof the clichés of animated  romances--sparkles, breaking waves, waltzes, princess costumes, etc.--in the  relationship between blond Deborah and handsome Captain Muratake, who talks  like Kuno inRanma 1/2.Trouble Chocolateplays like a cross  betweenUrusei YatsuraandHarry Potterset in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
