Yet Sukuyo Mankanshoku is depicted as taller than Ryuko in the anime... It's weird how these things don't seem to translate.

Are there any official KLK height comparsion charts? I'm curious how tall the characters are.

There was a height comparison of sorts included in The Art of KLK Vol. 2 and the Official Settings Materials Book 1, but no official measurements are given:

However, fans have used this image to calculate measurements. Here’s one example, from Shakar the Memelord:

Hope that helps!

“Do you have a secret boyfriend? What was wrong with his face? I’m calling Mom. I knew she shouldn’t have left you in charge!”

“No. Dawn, I swear I’ll tell you everything, but you have to promise that you won’t tell Mom. Or anyone.”

Is this an original tale, or is it available in any books?

When fae steal babies or little kids, what do they do with them? Also, if you get taken to the fae realm via mushroom circle, what happens then?

Let's start with the child kidnapping thing first. There are actually lots of reasons why a Faerie might take a child. Some of them want to punish the parents for some reason, or want a little pet or play thing, some stories detail how certain Fae groups find raising their own young more difficult than raising human babies and they swap them. Maybe they want something to stand there and look nice, their little dressed up human on display. They can invite all of their friends around for dinner and during the evening they can gesture at the little human who has been standing there all night. "Look!" they might say. "Isn't it just the most adorable thing!?" and they'll coo and gush over it a bit, maybe murmur appreciatively. Then they'll move on, and while they head to the ballroom for dancing, or out to the lakeside for singing to the moon, the human is left to stand there, forbidden from going anywhere or taking off the uncomfortable but pretty clothes, alone.... the party doesn't end for three days. It isn't even the Faerie themselves who discovers the human where they fainted on the floor from exhaustion and hunger, it's another human, a slave, who puts them to bed and makes sure they have some food for when they wake. Then, hardly a few days after, the Faerie runs into the human in one of the hallways and pinches their cheek, calling them a sweetie and saying how much they love them. But they don't. There are very few Faeries who would truly see a human as something worth being considerate to. And only some of those see humans as being more than pets or wild creatures you can sort of tame. Perhaps they mean well as they feed their humans and dote on them and give them everything they could ever desire, and perhaps they will always be kind, and be truly sorrowful when the human finally gives way to old age. But still, it is the love one offers to a pet, not an equal. Those very few who see humans as people... their dealings are well known. For they have taken the time to see what humans can do, and how they can be of use, and how they must be protected from certain kinds of danger they cannot even perceive. But you know, those children, if they get one of the nicer Faeries as their master or mistress, they might never know of any of this. Blissfully unaware of the full truth of things as they happily live in a dream-like world of wonders and delights. As far as accidentally falling into the realm of Faerie through one of its more unstable gateways... well the old stories have much to say on that. Those who are trapped and spend three days or a year and a day or even seven years in Faerie. Some who return home in a hundred years and fall to dust, others before they were even born. Some get caught and played with by the folk, or invited to feast and suffer from the strange effects of Faerie food. There are those who merely drew the gaze of the Folk to them, and found that all kinds of devilish tricks and pranks ensued. Others accidentally led a malicious Faerie creature to their loved ones. Their children, siblings, parents. Some wound up with a curse or a blessing, and those who mistook one for the other. A bright few had the chance to explore Faerie's vast realm and return, more or less whole and hearty. But too many, even had they not been caught or enchanted, were witness to things so far beyond their ability to comprehend that their minds were broken... leaving them shambling and blank eyed, a shell of what they once were. Going into Faerie by any path is always a wonder. What happens to you depends on where the gate leads to, when it leads to, who you meet there, and a thousand other small but crucial details that could influence how you return, if you return at all.

The idea of fae leaving their own children behind as changelings always makes me sad and recently I stumbled upon the first story where the fae mother seems to agree with me!

It’s from Lady Wilde’s Ancient Legends of Ireland (1888) and it tells of two fae stealing into a house with a hairy little fairy child in their arms. Even though the parents wake up, they are not in time to save their child from being taken. The changeling is left in its place and the poor parents weep and wail until suddenly a young woman rushes in and asks them why they are crying.

They show her the changeling and to their surprise the strange woman laughs with joy. She tells them that this is her own dear child, stolen from her because her fellow fae under the hill would rather have the beautiful human child. “But after all, I would rather have my own, ugly as he is, than any mortal child in the world.” She promises the human parents that if they let her have her baby back she will help win back their own.

The three parents strike a deal and both children end up safe and sound where they belong and the kind fae leaves the parents with this advice:

“But mind, take good care of him after, and tie a nail from a horseshoe round his neck, and then he will be safe.”
