Magical Heart (series)

**Magical Heart** (Japanese: **マホハート** *Magic Heart*) is a series from the franchise of the same name. It follows the journey of Miranda Cornflower (Tsubomi Minako) and her friends as they journey around the Multiverse in order to know why the Multiverse is in grave danger.

## Plot

### Japanese Translation

*Tsubomi Minako thought she had a relatively normal life in Marasa Town. The only tragedy throughout her life was the death of her father, leaving only her mom to care for her. But when she gets to go on a very important journey, she discovers the truth about herself. A very important truth, about her destiny.*

*Her father was a spy working for the international police, and her mother discovered special latent abilities that only responded to a certain, very rare gene. A rare gene that she happened to pass down to Minako.*

*As she's about to head out to go on her Multiversal journey, she and her new circle of friends become affected by a strange magic that others seem to call a virus, which leads them and their new allies Kiki and Leaf on a wild quest. Now exploring the Multiverse, the girls and their new friends will fight evil organizations, help others with friendship, feel love...and learn of a past secret that would bring everything altogether. Besides, what can go wrong when a certain Pokémon world teacher went on a similar journey with his friends two years back...?*

### **Heroes**

#### **Maho Hearts**

* **Tsubomi Minako** (or **Miranda Cornflower** in English) - The leader of the Magic Hearts. Minako has always been the most loved by other girls. Despite preferring to think before acting, she sometimes acts before she thinks and can be impulsive, and at any situation where the heroes are in a jiffy, she says "I'll do what's important, right now!" Her liveliness and popularity, on the other hand, is what made her meet Ichigo, Maike and Kagura in the first place. Together with Chichi, Minako transforms into the Warrior of Chillarmy, Chillarmy Heart.
* **Natsuumi Ichigo** (or **Isabelle Beach** in the English dub) - The co-leader of the Magic Hearts. Ichigo is a brave girl who loves to take care of others. Even though she also likes to read, she has a poker face, so she struggles to show any emotions (thus making it hard to let others know she is upset or needs help) yet she has a strong sense of self. She has loved the fairytale "The Little Mermaid" since she was a child, and she knows a lot of stories about mermaids. Together with Foxxy, Ichigo transforms into the Warrior of Fokko, Fokko Heart.
* **Sairua Maike** (or **Brianna Cook** in the English dub) - The brain of the Magic Hearts. Maike is a very motivated girl who loves cute things. She's very kind and can get along with anyone, but can be too optimistic for her own good. Her family owns a beauty parlor, so she knows a lot about makeup and cosmetics. Together with Berry, Maike transforms into the Warrior of Pochama, Pochama Heart.
* **Ichiga Kagura** (or **Natalie Walker** in the English dub) - The brawn of the Magic Hearts. Kagura is an athletic girl with a strong sense of justice. At first glance, she appears to be cool and unapproachable, however, she is actually a very reliable big sister type. In fact, she really loves to cook and play cute animal games. However, she can be overly strict, uptight, or harsh sometimes. Together with Pachi, Kagura transforms into the Warrior of Pachirisu, Pachirisu Heart.
* **Suzumara Kyōhei** (or **Nate Bell** in English)
* **Ichinose Mei** (or **Rosa Harvester** in English)

## Trivia

* In the English dub, most of the characters have punny surnames as a crude translation of their Japanese name. In the English dub of MHA, however, this is taken a step further where most of the characters have punny surnames relating to their alter-egos.
	+ The only ones unaffected are characters that originated from the Pokemon games (except for those who have a official surname, in that case, Tracey Sketchit).
* Maike's extreme optimism resembles SpongeBob or Pinkie Pie. It is slightly toned down in the manga, however.
