"Isn't Usagi Too Addictive?" "Moved by the Dynamic Energy" – 'Magical Chiikawa' MV Released! Fans Are Captivated by Magical Girl-Style Chiikawa Characters

A special MV titled "Magical Syndrome," a collaboration between "Magical Chiikawa" and solo singer yama, was released on YouTube on October 21st. The sight of characters from the hugely popular manga "Chiikawa" transformed into magical girl-style figures has captivated fans, with reactions like "Isn't Usagi too addictive?" and "Wait, what? Some incredibly cute character just appeared!!!??"

"Magical Chiikawa" is a series where the characters from "Chiikawa" become magical girls and other transformed versions. In the newly released MV, set to yama's song "Magical Syndrome," familiar characters including Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi undergo dramatic transformations! Dressed in colorful costumes adorned with frills and ribbons, they engage in heated battles reminiscent of magical girl anime.

The enemy characters also deserve attention. The Chiikawa characters dressed in monotone costumes with slightly mischievous expressions unlike their real counterparts are certainly striking, but could those two giant monsters actually be "big and strong" versions of Hachiware and Usagi...!?

Seeing the characters in forms so different from the main series in various ways, many fans were swooning with comments like "The way Chii-chan's ribbon sways when delivering the finishing blow—moved by the supreme dynamic energy!" "Isn't Usagi too addictive, I mean Usagi is just Usagi is just Usagi is just," "Wait, what? Some incredibly cute character just appeared!!!??" and "Usagi (big and strong)... and Hachiware (big and strong) too, but I love the designs way too much."

"Chiikawa" is a hugely popular manga by illustrator Nagano. The gap between the cuteness of the characters—small and adorable creatures nicknamed "Chiikawa"—and the surprisingly harsh world they inhabit has become a hot topic, earning widespread popularity from adults to children alike. The anime version has been airing within "Mezamashi TV" (Fuji Television Network) since 2022.
