Onegai My Melody: Difference between revisions

In [[Magical Land|Mari Land]], a picturesque world entirely populated by [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Ridiculously Cute Critters]], two miscreants named [[Dark Magical Girl|Kuromi]] and [[Butt Monkey|Baku]] are imprisoned in a dungeon. One day, they obtain the Melody Key, a magical instrument with dark powers, and escape from the prison. They head to the human world in order to [[Gotta Catch Em All|collect Black Notes]] by making people's dreams come true in [[Be Careful What You Wish For|horrible ways]], with the eventual goal of resurrecting the [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Spirit of Dark Power]]. Meanwhile, an acquaintance of Kuromi named [[Cute Witch|My Melody]] is suspected of helping the two fugitives escape. She is ordered to go to the human world to arrest them and save people's dreams. My Melody arrives in Yumemigaoka City and helps a junior high school student named [[Muggle Best Friend|Uta Yumeno]] when she falls victim to Kuromi's Melody Key. The two become friends, and My Melody starts living with Uta. After that, My Melody and Uta are involved in various troubles caused by Kuromi, but they solve them using My Melody's [[Magic Music|Melody Takt]], a magical conductor's baton.
