About Mai-Mai Miracle

Meet Mai-Mai Miracle (Mai Mai Shinko to Sennen no Mahou), an adventure and drama anime by Madhouse (2009). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: The story is set in 1955 in Kokuga, Hofu Metropolis, Yamaguchi Prefecture. One thousand years ago it was the site of the long-lost capital, Suo no Kuni, and traces of the Heian Period (year 794-1185) are passed down to us in the form of ruins and historical place names.

Along the way, the protagonist is Shinko, a third grade elementary school learner, who was born and raised in one of the town's venerable families. She is a little girl whose characteristic is a strange curl on her forehead (she calls it her "Mai Mai"), and her love for playing in the fields. On the other hand, her secret joy is to imagine and to daydream about the realm of one thousand years ago.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling.
