Mint is a girl who happens to be the princess of the world of dreams and magic. The natural environment of her world is a reflection of the dreams of the people on Earth. It is now in danger as people lose faith in their dreams and let darkness enter their

hearts. The environment of Mint's world is starting to wither and die.

On her 12th birthday, after a gala celebration with her father the King and her mother, she agrees to go to the world of humans to try to preserve people's hopes and dreams, and to prove that she has the qualities necessary to be a wise ruler. Her father arranges for her to stay with his sister, Mint's aunt Herb, who runs a gift shop on Earth called "Happiness Shop".

Mint is also allowed to choose two best friends who will share the secret of her true identity. She chooses a young boy named Pamuru and a young girl named Natsu - they have quite a time keeping her secret from another little boy in the neighborhood named Tact (he's very misnamed, because he is

anything but tactful!). She chooses Pamuru and Natsu because they help her find Aunt Herb after she arrives on Earth - her father had forgotten to give her the address! Her pet parrot Ralph goes with her to try to keep her out of trouble (although he seems much more interested in sweets than anything else).

Mint can transform into whatever profession she wishes - a cowgirl, a nanny, a news reporter, etc. Her magic is more versatile than that, though; she can also do various other enchantments. For example, in one episode she enchants a pair of glasses to see into a racoon's memory; in another, she brings a wooden toy horse to life.

With cute character designs, nice artwork, a very cheerful mood, and a bright color palette, this show is highly recommended. It does have various lessons and dramatic moments as well, and in addition, there are a few unique elements.
