About Petite Princess Yucie

Petite Princess Yucie (Puchi Pri*Yucie) blends fantasy, comedy and magic by Gainax (2002). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: Despite recently turning 17, the otherwise average Yucie still has the body of a child. Having stopped growing past the age of 10, Yucie yearns to fully mature into an adult body.

Along the way, one day, she is chosen as a candidate for the title of "Platinum Princess," given once in a thousand years to whoever is worthy of the Eternal Tiara—a mysterious crown said to grant any wish. She's not alone either, as four other candidates also compete to have their own wishes granted by the crown. As a result, Yucie enrolls at the nearby Princess Academy in order to grow her heart and work towards becoming qualified for the Eternal Tiara.

In a fantasy series like this, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. This one is best suited to fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds.
