Maebashi Witches

Yuina Akagi, a first-year high school student living in Maebashi, Gunma, is leading an ordinary, fairly enjoyable life, but feels a bit unsatisfied.
One day, a frog-like creature named Keroppe appears in Yuina’s room, changing her life completely. Overwhelmed by his zealous insistence, she agrees to participate in witch training.
Opening the closet in her room, Yuina finds that it is connected to a magical space where four girls—Azu Niisato, Kyoka Kitahara, Choco Mitsumata and Mai Kamiizumi —are receiving witch training. Yuina and the four girls hear that they need to earn magic points to become witches, and they form the group “Maebashi Witches” (tentative name). They transform the magical space into a magical flower shop where they sing, dance, and grant wishes to the people of Maebashi with problems. The entrance to the magical flower shop appears in front of anyone who needs it!

You can’t take your eyes off these five girls as they strive to become witches for different reasons while tackling their own problems. The faithfully depicted scenes of Maebashi, which serves as the setting of the story, are also a must-see.
