The Enduring Legacy of the Piero Magical Girl Series

The “Piero Mahou Shoujo Series” is a cherished collection of magical girl anime produced by Studio Pierrot, captivating fans both in Japan and internationally for over 40 years. From its debut with `Mahou no Tenshi Creamy Mami` in 1983, the series continued to enchant audiences with `Mahou no Yousei Persia`, `Mahou no Star Magical Emi`, `Mahou no Idol Pastel Yumi`, and `Mahou no Stage Fancy Lala`, totaling five unforgettable TV anime productions through 1998. These stories have left an indelible mark on generations of anime enthusiasts, defining the genre with their unique charm and memorable characters.

Unveiling `Mahou no Shimai Lulutt Lily`: Story & Concept

First announced in June 2024 and with its official title revealed in March 2025, `Mahou no Shimai Lulutt Lily` promises to be a fresh, yet nostalgic, take on the magical girl genre. The story centers around two sisters: Nonomama Fuu, a cheerful elementary school student eagerly anticipating summer vacation, and Nonomama Rui, a modest yet diligent middle schooler. While they once shared an unbreakable bond, a subtle emotional distance has recently grown between them.

One fateful day, Fuu encounters a mysterious spaceship and is granted magical powers. Unbeknownst to her, Rui also acquires her own wonderful magical abilities. Both sisters transform into the elegant adult figures they’ve always admired, but with two crucial rules: their powers have a one-year limit, and the secret of their magic must never be revealed to anyone. As fate would have it, they both end up pursuing careers as idols, unaware of each other’s hidden magical identities, setting the stage for a delightful and intriguing tale.

Messages from the Team

Director・Character Designer: Doukai Shintarou

What would happen if we could use magic? What if we could transform, and a different world opened up to us? It’s hard to imagine perfectly, but I’m sure it would create many joyful memories. I hope this becomes a story where everyone can experience a year with the magical sisters.

Series Composition・Script: Kakihara Yuuko

In every era, magical girls are figures who give us dreams. As a child, watching Creamy Mami filled me with excitement, and I’ve channeled those feelings while working on this project over a long period with the director and staff. I hope to convey the many emotions I received from the Creamy Mami anime—gentle, fluffy, cute, sometimes comically chaotic, and occasionally a little bittersweet—to the next generation.

Tachibana Mei

I am Tachibana Mei, and I will be playing Nonomama Fuu and Konpeto Lily. I am incredibly thrilled and also deeply humbled to be involved as a cast member in the latest work of the beloved Piero Magical Girl Series. Since encountering this work at the audition, I’ve received so much power from the gentle and sparkling world of `Mahou no Shimai Lulutt Lily` and from the energetic Fuu-chan! I will do my absolute best to deliver this wonderful power to all of you. Thank you very much for your support.

Ojika Nao

Rui-chan, whom I play, is a girl who has become somewhat passive due to a past experience, unable to take that final courageous step. I really want everyone to pay attention to how Rui-chan changes after encountering magic! And singing is also a major highlight in this work! I will pour my heart into singing to bring out Lulu’s maximum charm! The performance scenes have wonderful direction, so I’m really looking forward to their reveal! This is a heartwarming work that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Please look forward to its broadcast!

Nanami Hiroki

I am Nanami Hiroki, and I am truly delighted to be involved in the latest work of the “Piero Magical Girl Series,” which, for me, is full of pure excitement. This is my first time playing a “cat-like creature,” but Uguisu is a laid-back character who hates the heat and is always sleeping, so I feel a sense of familiarity with him. I hope that along with Azuki, who is always by his side, we can bring a warm breeze to the story. I believe this story will remind everyone of the “magic” they hold in their hearts. Please look forward to this new chapter for magical girls!!

Kayano Ai

“Let’s become magical girls!” “YEAH!!” — That’s how the recording started, with the sound director’s cheer. I couldn’t take my eyes off the freshness of Tachibana Mei-chan and Ojika Nao-chan, the two sisters, and their serious gazes as they faced their roles. It’s my first time co-starring with Nanami Hiroki-san, who also plays a cat-like creature. Their presence is beautiful, and I’m simply thrilled to work with them. Papa, Mama, and all the regular cast members are wonderful people, so it seems like it will be a fun recording! I hope this heartwarming work reaches all magical girl fans!

Izumi Fuuka

I am Izumi Fuuka, and I will be playing Kandachi Touko! The cuteness of the characters, the sparkling atmosphere of the story, the worries of young girls… since I first auditioned, my inner maiden’s heart was stirred, and I desperately wanted to get the role! So, I am truly overjoyed to be part of this work as Touko! `LuluLili` (Lulutt Lily) is, in short, every “girl’s” dream, or what used to be a dream. It’s a work that people of all generations can enjoy with bright, sparkling expressions! I’m also looking forward to seeing the cute characters come to life! Thank you for your support!

Hirohara Fuu

I am Hirohara Fuu, and I will be playing Aozono Sena! I am deeply honored to be able to participate in the “Piero Magical Girl Series” this time. Sena-chan, whom I play, may seem cool and nonchalant at first glance, but once you get to know her, she shows a cute side and a caring attitude towards her friends, making her a truly wonderful girl. I will do my best to convey Sena-chan’s charm and the heartwarming world of `Mahou no Shimai Lulutt Lily` to everyone! Please look forward to it!
