- Story Intro
-
- Mai is the
daughter of a couple who run a small snack shop, while
her grandparents lead a troupe of stage magicians. She
idolizes a legendary stage magician named Emily Howell
and, when her grandparents move in just down the
street, she seizes the opportunity to follow in her
idol's footsteps. Since she's inexperienced and
clumsy, Mai isn't very good at magic tricks, but the
troupe is happy to let her help out, and even allow
her to appear on stage as an assistant for their act.
-
- While helping
her grandparents move in, she notices a strange,
floating light and follows it upstairs. There she sees
many lights appear inside a mirror, along with many
reflections of herself. Suddenly, a bracelet appears
on her wrist, and a stuffed animal flying squirrel
named Topo comes to life and explains to her that the
bracelet is a gift which will allow her to transform
and do REAL magic.
-
- One day
during a performance, Topo causes a disaster and Mai
has no choice but to transform into Magical Emi (a
name she chooses in honor of her idol), a young woman
with short green hair who amazes the crowd with feats
of magic and saves the show. Magical Emi is seen by a
TV producer named Kogane, who happened to be in the
audience. He runs JTV, and soon contracts the troupe
to appear on his TV station, excited about the new
teenage addition to their act.
-
- This series
has its comedic moments, but also has a great deal of
heartbreak, as we watch Mai strive to achieve her
dream of becoming a stage magician, without the
"cheat" of using real magic to perform her tricks. The
story shows Mai's relationships with her parents,
younger brother, extended family, neighbor and
classmate, and a young boxer with whom she finds the
beginning of romance.
