This Series is Magical Shiba Inu ★ Hanamaru!!

It's about this girl who wants to be a magical girl almost gets to become one, until her male dog Hanamaru takes the stick and ends up transforming into a magical girl and now has to defeat the villains!!

It's a really funny and cute four panel manga that's currently publishing!! I'm really enjoying it!!

So are you reading this series? If so, what are you thinking!? If not, then you should read it!! ^w^

These are the outline characters drawings from Sailor Moon anime series from the 90s.

In 20th series episode 17, "Akane Leader ni Naru" (アカネ リーダーになる, "Akane Becomes the Leader"), there's a scene in which the Kooni Trio (Akane the red oni, Aobei the blue oni, and Kisuke the yellow oni) dress up in Sailor Moon-esque costumes in order to intimidate Ojarumaru into returning Great King Enma's scepter. The trio even say, "In the name of Great King Enma, we'll judge you!" (エンマ大王さまに代わっておさばきよ！, "Enma Daiou-sama ni kawatte osabaki yo!"), a play of Sailor Moon's "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!" (月に代わっておしおきよ！, "Tsuki ni kawatte oshioki yo!").

As a side note, Kotono Mitsuishi (the voice of Sailor Moon) is a recurring cast member on Ojarumaru as Princess Okame and Akamurasaki Shikibu.

This is actually my second ever cosplay! Cure Wonderful is my fav Character (along with Mofurun) so I've wanted to cosplay her for a while! My friend helped me since she is an experienced cosplayer, So shout out to Witchy Patches! (She's not on this subreddit but she's really cool). Have anybody else cosplayed a Precure or Magical Girl character?

oh! and btw, i’m not gonna remove anyone’s name just cuz they get a little busy. but I’m just gonna add a little extra someone to Cure Peace. cuz why not. :3 (also, I would’ve done 3 if that one person did’t get banned… why?! they seemed so nice! 😞)

I'm a 41yo woman making my dream game but I'm pretty much stuck in the 90s references and such. I really want to know if this is making any sense for someone else than me. We're strugglin finding a publisher and I'm not sure if we're on the right track.

Ojarumaru 12th series episode 33 "Mahou Shufu Ai-chan" (魔法主婦 愛ちゃん, "Magical Housewife Ai-chan") has a parody of the magical girl genre, which appears to be inspired by various series such as Sally the Witch, Himitsu no Akko-chan, and Nurse Angel Ririka (director Akitaro Daichi also worked this one).

In the episode, Ai, the mother of the Tamura family, comes across a manga called "Mahou Shojou Lovely" (魔法少女ラブリー, "Magical Girl Lovely") while cleaning, which she remembers reading long ago. She gets sucked into Ojarumaru's eboshi (a type of ancient Japanese hat) and lands in a world where a king tells her that she must become a magical housewife to help people and gives her a wand, on condition that she can't reveal her identity to anyone. Transforming into a magical housewife, she generates objects to help clean a countertop and bathroom tiles, and cool beer. She also uses the wand at a supermarket to fast forward the clock so that the meat on display gets discounted at 40% off.

Keeping in line with Ojarumaru's wholesome atmosphere, there's no violence or big conflict. The appeal comes from the repetition of Ai using her housework skills with a magical touch, as well as keeping her identity a secret.

In case you're unfamiliar with Ojarumaru, it's a long-running anime that's been airing on NHK Educational TV since 1998. The show sometimes does parodies of Japanese pop culture that older audiences watching would find interesting and the magical housewife episode leans into that.
