### Summary

Matsuri Hibino is an ordinary girl in her first year of junior high school. As she was walking to school, humming her favorite song as usual, a strangely dressed girl fell on her. Her name is Myamu. She claims to be a Mana Mana (magician), and forcibly invites Matsuri to come do Primagi with her. Matsuri has a desire to do Primagi, but is unable to take the next step. After refusing the invitation and returning home, she happened to watch a TV program and was encouraged by the words of a Primagi star she admired. She chooses to do what she wants to do! Determined to do so, Matsuri ran to where Myamu was.

## Plot

The performance of glitz and magic to entertain the audience, PriMagi is very important. In order to succeed, the Treasured must work together with the Earthly. The adult woman giving this speech reveals the lookbook, which belonged to the prior  champions of PriMagi. She urges the eager students to work hard collecting their own ensemble to fill their own books just as they have done.

As this is going on, a young girl transforms into a cat and sneaks into the auditorium, intent on stealing the book. Myamu is convinced that as long as she has it, she can do very well- unfortunately, after she grabs it her grandfather lures her out with a cat toy. She drops the book and attempts to flee but she zaps her with lightning magic to keep her in place.

Meanwhile, a young girl is singing along to the musical performance she sees on the screen nearby. She would love to be a part of this world but can't find the courage to try and step foot into the large Prism Stone before her. Just then a glowing, gold card appears and a hand pops out of it. A girl flies out of the card and lands on the young school girl, then she asks if she was singing. The girl confirms she was and Myamu asks that she become her Primagi partner, much to her shock. They exchange greetings and Myamu explains to Matsuri what she, a Treasured needs from an Earthly like her, she then goes to show Matsuri her magic by attempting to transform into a cat, only to discover her magic has been sealed. Matsuri ends up assuming Myamu is a lost child with a big imagination, until she brings up the PriMagi Grand Festival and how its winner can have a wish granted. Matsuri begins to fawn over last years winner, a shining girl named Jennifer who intended on spreading love throughout the world.

With this, Myamu theorizes that Matsuri really does enjoy it then, and Matsuri begins to think about her dream- until she realizes she'll be late for school. She runs off just in time to miss seeing a blue wolf appear to check on Myamu, who stubbornly insists the Earthly just can't understand her. He reminds her that he can't obtain a lookbook without a partner, and without that she can't use her magic as she has to collect waccha. He takes off as Myamu grumpily tells him off.

During break Matsuri overlooks her entry form. A male classmate happens to spot her and observes from afar as Matsuri's friends show up with the latest issue of PriMagi Style, featuring Jennifer on the cover. Matsuri perks right up to admire her gorgeous attire and they recall how much Matsuri admires her. They go on to suggest Matsuri that she should try out for PriMagi, given that she's plenty cute, and they point out the deadline is today. She isn't very sure though. Later she gets approached by the young man -Toma- who gives her a pink kitty lollipop. He explains that her grandpa is giving him lessons on making hard candy sweets and Matsuri happily goes on to make a cat pun before she complains, wishing for a courage magic spell.

After school Matsuri attempts to go into Prism Stone, only to back out again. But when she hears Myamu up ahead causing another girl trouble she lends her a hand and tells Myamu off for harassment. She tells her to apologize and when Myamu does, she hands over her kitty lollipop after realizing she is hungry. Myamu is charmed by the candy, something she's never had before back at home, and she swipes Matsuri's entry paper. She begins to tell her about the predicament she's in until realizing Matsuri left a spot empty on her paper. Matsuri tells her that she didn't forget to fill it in, she's just unsure of her dream. She wants to be a celebrity like Jennifer, but she can't use magic and it feels impossible. Myamu criticizes Matsuri's way of thinking and she attempts to clarify how nervous she is, but Myamu tells her to just do it if she wants to. Her dream is to become a famous magic user, and she's planning on doing it at all costs. However, she isn't very good at singing.

Matsuri is momentarily taken by Myamu as she observes her natural glow in announcing her dream to her, but when Matsuri suddenly remarks on how she can't expect an Earthly with no Magi to understand and runs off, she feels frustrated. She returns home to find her grandpa giving Toma his next lesson. They notice her poor mood and her mother asks if she is okay. Just then an advertisement for the upcoming PriMagi Grand Festival comes on and Matsuri listens as Jennifer gets an interview. She explains how she loves PriMagi very much, and because of her impulsive nature it didn't take her long to decide to aim for the top. Matsuri admires her and filled with passion, she rushes back to Prism Stone.

She finds Myamu pouting and she asks that they compete together, much to her surprise. But upon stepping inside Myamu panics upon seeing Headmistress Fesslida there, until Matsuri introduces her as Matsurida, the woman in charge of set up at Prism Stone. She overlooks Matsuri's entry form and uses the golden card to summon several Tanto-chan, assistants to PriMagi performers, and she asks them to guide Matsuri. They surround Matsuri and she goes on to make the magical gate to PriMagi appear, and after stepping inside Matsuri is transformed with their help, and they summon a coord for her to wear.

As this is going on, the boss of Omega cooperation and Headmistress Fesslida are together, having been updated on Matsuri and Myamu's partnership. They are observed by an odd girl and maid, along with Jennifer, who comes in to observe Matsuri's entry form when it appears on screen. They go on to bring up Myamu's large potential as a Magi and warn her to proceed with caution. Jennifer reads over what Matsuri's dream is and she remarks on how interesting she is.

At the stage Matsuri's friends stand in observation of the stage as several girls chat about Matsuri, having never heard of her before. As this is going on Toma arrives in time to witness her "birth" on stage, as remarked by a strange young man wearing a hooded cape nearby. Myamu thinks about her lack of magic, but she truly believes that if she excites the audience enough then she'll manage to overcome it and gain a lot of Waccha. Matsuri feels extremely nervous, but hearing the audience and her friends cheer for her, she encourages herself to step forth and do what she wants. She may lack the power of Magi but she still has the power of her heart to help her stand on the stage. Matsuri appears with some help from Myamu and she performs as everyone admires her. Together they collect enough waccha for her to use a PriMagi Illusion.

As she tiredly stands Matsuri observes the cheering crowd. Myamu is very happy as she realizes that even without magic Matsuri still has another kind of special magic. They watch as a brand new ensemble appears, and the magic overflows so much that several girls notice it has appeared in their own lookbooks. Jennifer is very happy by Matsuri's efforts, along with the mysterious girl who stares in amazement.

Outside, Myamu happily floats around upon realizing her magic has returned to her. Matsuri is also very happy for her as Myamu returns to her and shyly thanks her for her help. Matsuri surprises her by thanking her though, and she explains that she had a lot of fun, and its because she met her. She requests that they refer to each other as friends when Matsurida appears, having forgotten to hand over the lookbook they earned. She also puts the card inside and encourages the girls to keep working hard. Myamu attempts to assure her that they will, only for her stomach to begin rumbling. Matsuri invites her over for dinner and with her magic restored, Myamu summons a broom and transforms into a cat, lifting Matsuri onto it. They fly into the evening sky, excited to begin their new journey.
