Release Date, 4.14.2026

A shoujo fantasy that brings readers into the magical world of nail art.“I’m going to become this world’s first decorated nail artist!” In a foreign land where nail polish acts as a magical conduit, Saara aspires to create pretty and powerful decorated nail art!  Unfortunately for Saara, she lacks both the magical ability ad the know-how to paint anything other than useless party tricks.  Even her best customer, Rocco — a beautiful wizard with a mean streak (and an even meaner apprentice) — can barely summon a spark from the cutesy nails Saara creates for him!Rather than be discouraged, Saara determines to improve her abilities and surpass even her benefactor, the grouchy goblin Master Reed!  But as a woefully average, utterly unexceptional protagonist, Saara has a long way to go —and a lot of nails to paint — before she'll ever stand a chance at greatness.For now, she's just an average girl working as a below-average nail artist in a fantasy world!
