Himitsu no Akko-chan/Akko’s Secret
A compact mirror enchanted with a magical spirit meddles with 10-year-old Akko-chan’s life – but with comic effect, as it transforms her into a 22-year-old woman. Elementary schooler Akko loves her new life of make-up, money and fashion – and soon charms a cosmetics executive with her playful approach to life. It all starts to get a bit serious now, as he needs Akko’s help in launching a new product line to save his company. A fun and fluffy adaptation of a popular girl’s manga by Fujio Akatsuka.
