About Maerchen Maedchen

Maerchen Maedchen (Märchen Mädchen) arrives as a fantasy anime by Hoods Entertainment (2018), and the premise is easy to summarize. In short: Hazuki Kagimura is a socially awkward girl with no friends; and having been recently adopted, she struggles to connect with her new family as well. Her only refuge from this painful reality is between the pages of stories where her vivid imagination allows her to live out her dreams of friendship and adventure.

Next up: However, one day, an old and unexplained text appears in her book bag. On her way back to the library to return it, Hazuki sees a familiar girl who is seemingly invisible to everyone but her. Deciding to follow her, Hazuki is led a hidden library where a realm she thought only existed in her dreams awaits her.

As a fantasy title, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. If you count yourself among fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds, put it on your list.
