The story follows two sisters, Fu and Rui Nonoyama, who were once inseparable but have recently drifted apart. One day, Fu encounters a mysterious alien who grants her magical powers. At the same time, Rui also obtains similar powers, transforming both into the idealised adult versions of themselves. However, their newfound abilities come with a catch: the magic can only last for one year, and no one must ever discover their secret. Unaware that they share the same fate, the sisters each pursue their dreams of becoming idols, setting the stage for a heartwarming and bittersweet story of sisterhood, identity, and transformation.
Studio Pierrot, best known internationally for Naruto and Bleach, holds a storied legacy in the magical girl genre.
