Kigurumi Guardians

A new work by Lily Hoshino, known for Mawaru Penguindrum, reimagines the magical girl genre with a mix of charm and oddity. The story centers on Hakka Sasakura, whose routine is disrupted when a mysterious figure in an animal costume appears in her home. This being is an otherworldly entity, and Hakka is tasked with partnering with it to combat threats from another dimension. As part of this mission, she must kiss the creature. The narrative blends elements of the magical girl trope with unexpected twists and character dynamics.
