Content Introduction

Features two fun stories: 'Lots of Shizuku-chans!' and 'Twinkle Love Story'.

'Lots of Shizuku-chans!'
Shizuku Forest is in the rainy season. Above the clouds, raindrop fairies were joyfully causing rain, but the clouds opened up, and the fairies fell to Earth, transforming into human forms. They looked exactly like Shizuku-chan, causing great chaos in Shizuku Forest!

'Twinkle Love Story'
As the Tanabata (Star Festival) approaches, Shizuku-chan and friends are thinking about their wishes. In Shizuku Forest, there is a legend that 'separated star-fairy lovers can meet across the Milky Way.' One day, after a shooting star fell, Shizuku-chan and Tsumurin rescued a sparkling girl. Though she lost her memory, a handsome star fairy named Deneb arrived, claiming her name is Vega and that he is her lover. On the day of Tanabata, another star fairy appears. Will Vega regain her memory? A romantic Star Festival story.
