Pixie Pop (Gokkun! Pucho)

Pixie Pop, or the original name Gokkun! Pucho, is a 3 volume long manga about a girl who meets a little pixie. The girl, Mayu, is starting her first day of high school and has to sit beside the boy whom she confessed her love to on the last day of elementary school and rejected her. Her family owns a cafe and Mayu is very picky about what she drinks. When she gets home after her first day of school and starts cry into one of her drinks after think about the first time she met this boy. After her tears fall into the drink is starts to turn all of the colours of the rainbow. She passes this off as one of her mother's experiments and drinks it anyway. Right after she does this little pixie comes out and gets angry at her, telling her that drink was what she needed to become an adult. Mayu thinks that she's dreaming and drinks some milk to wake herself up (I don't know why) but all this does is make her grow into a giant. From that point on anything she drinks, with the exception of water, makes her magically transform. The story is about unrequited love, not exactly my personal favourite, but to each their own.

Here is a website with a brief plot synopsis and series info as well as some customer reviews

If you want to read this manga but aren't sure if you'd actually buy it, you can read it on various online manga sites. It's a good way to screen out the ones that aren't worth the money.

Here's a cool little video a fan put together summarizing the story
