## Plot

In a magical world of Little Fairilu, there are small magical fairies representing flowers, insects, and other entities named Fairilu, who are all born from the Fairilu Seed. Each Fairilu is born with their own key, the Fairilu Key, that can open magical doors, casting magic spells. If the Fairilu finds the right door, they can finally grow into a full-fledged fairy. The doors also link to the human world. While meeting new friends, Fairilus must study and go to school to learn about the world in which they live.
The series focuses on a Flower Fairilu named Lip, and her friends in Little Fairlu. The series follows Lip's overall life in Little Fairilu while making new friends and learning from everything around her, growing up day after day. It also tells about the Fairilu friends' adventures in the human world, where they can meet their human partners who support their dreams and are willing to help each other fulfill them.
The third season focuses on a human girl called Arisu Hanazono, who discovers a magical pendulum and book one day, summoning Fairilus. Arisu initially had many worries, but by meeting the friendly Fairilus and traveling into their homeworld, Little Fairilu, she gets a chance to solve her problems and change herself.
