Poster for Minami's Girlfriend

Minami's Girlfriend

2004 · 1 season

A featherlight, silly romantic comedy with a magical gimmick, easy to dip into and charming rather than demanding.

Genres
Comedy
Overview
Everything started when a high school couple, Chiyomi and Minami had a mysterious and ominous fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant… “If you stay close to him, he will become great and the two of you will be together for a long time. However, when the two of you drift apart, horrible thing will happen”. Just as the prophesy, on the very day when Minami decided to leave Chiyomi, a magical curse struck Chiyomi. Believe it or not, it shrunk her into a size of merely 16 cm tall! What would happen when a tender boyfriend and a miniaturized girlfriend secretly starts living together?
