- Story Intro
-
- 15-year-old
Kanzaki Meg is a possible successor to the throne of
the Magic World. As part of her test, she is required
to go to the Human World to learn about how human
beings live on Earth. In Meg's world, there are no
families; they don't even understand the concept of
family.
|
|
- Meg will stay with a
woman named Mami while she's in the Human
World. Mami was once a witch from the
Magic World, but she fell in love with a
human man and married him, giving up her
place in the Magic World to remain on
Earth and raise a family. Meg has a lot to
learn - she is not the only contender for
the Throne....
-
- Another girl named
Non is also a contender. Non is the
protege of Mami's former rival,
|
Kiran,
and initially is much more skilled with her magic
than Meg. She's very
superior in her attitude, but she doesn't want to beat
Meg through unfair practices, so there are actually
times when she helps Meg with her
problems.
- Mami uses her magic
to "alter" everyone's memory so that they
think that Meg is her eldest daughter.
Even her husband and her children, Rabi
& Apo, believe that Meg is the elder
sister of the family!
-
- Learning how to cope
with a family is very difficult for Meg;
Rabi is especially difficult for her to
tolerate. Rabi is a young boy and loves to
play pranks -
|
|
some of
his favorites involve getting pictures of big sister's
panties or in her sheer nightgowns! Rabi can get
very creative with his
tricks in order to capture Meg in various states of
undress, but.... at least he's only her silly younger
brother? -_-; The same can't be said for a man named
Chou. Chou was sent to the Human World to keep an eye
on Meg & Non, but he's actually trying to sabotage
Meg's chances at winning the contest and is a royal
pain (as well as an eyesore). He has two lackeys
helping him in this task: a crow named Kurou ("kurou"
is "crow" in English, but means "black" in Japanese)
and a cat named FuruFuru. Fortunately for Meg, these
three are about as clutzy and foolish as anyone could
be. Unfortunately for Meg, Chou is actually more
interested in getting some shots of Meg for himself
than in accomplishing his task.

- "Majokko Meg-chan"
was originally broadcast in 1974, making
her one of the earliest magical girl
stories. Many shoujo stories from this
time period have a somewhat violent or
brutal beginning, and Meg-chan is no
different - in episode #1, a family fight
almost leads to Meg dying!
|
The story
elements for "Majokko Meg-chan" are a mixture of
drama and comedy. They range
from slapstick and slightly ecchi comedy to
interpersonal drama, stressing family and friend
relationships. Initially, Meg has no concept of
family, or of truly caring about anyone else; she's
very selfish and self-centered. Seventy-two episodes
later, she's taken a completely opposite viewpoint,
and is willing to give up everything she's been trying
to achieve for her family.
