Title (Japanese) Majokko Tikkuru

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes Japanese name: -ｏ-っ子チックル
English name: Magical Tickle or Tickle the Witch Girl.
Said to be from a manga by Go Nagai (famous for various manga like "Devilman" containing violence, horror or sex) & published in 1977.
Genre(s): comedy, fantasy, magical girl. Shoujo.

Classification shoujo

Synopsis The basic story is that a witch called Tickle, who was confined in a picture book for doing too much mischief, is released by a girl called Tiko, and Tickle decides to live Tiko's house pretending to be her twin sister.
In the anime, Tickle lives with a typical Japanese family; using magic she has made everyone think that she and the older girl are twins. Tickle usually wears red shorts and often uses magic to solve everyday problems.

Review The style looks quite old, but the series has a simple charm and is quite watchable even if one cannot understand a word of dialogue. Watch it for township & school life and the annoying younger sister. Sometimes Tickle seems a bit malicious. And why is the Warner Bros "Sweetie Pie" in the end credits?

Credits Creator(s): Go Nagai ; Credits by R.L.

Episodes 45
