Witchy Precure!

Thirteen-year-old Mirai Asahina loves small adventures, and when a strange object falls from the sky she and her beloved stuffed bear Mofurun go to investigate. There they meet Liko, a cheerful young magician hunting for the Linkle Stone Emerald, and Kotoha, a shy classmate who hides a secret. When sinister minions of Dokuroxy show up, Mirai, Liko and Mofurun join hands and transform into the Pretty Cures, defenders who mix spellwork with school life. The girls enroll in Magic School to learn how to control their powers, juggle friendships and homework, and keep Dokuroxy’s forces at bay without revealing their identities.
