It is the sixth overall installment of the Pierrot Magical Girl Series and the first series released in two decades since Fancy Lala, the Magic Stage. It is directed by Shintarō Dōge,[1][2][3] who also provides the original character designs and written by Yūko Kakihara.[4] It premiered on April 5, 2026 on Tokyo MX and other networks and will run for two split cours.
Plot
Fuu and Rui Nonoyama are sisters from a "land of magic," who were once on terms with one another, but have drifted apart. Suddenly, they are given magical powers by two cat-like spirits, Uguisu and Azuki, allowing them to transform into magical girl idols. However, there is a catch: these powers only last for a year and they cannot tell anyone that that magic exists. While neither Fuu nor Rui knows one another are magical girls, they soon begin their careers as idols.
