She finds her cellphone, but it appears to be on the other side of ancient large mirror. A cute friendly young girl appears in the mirror, offering to return the item in exchange for a simple promise: Ichika has to do the summer homework for this girl who came into this world for "sightseeing". And so begins the summer friendship between Ichika and Manatsu, and the story of their magical adventures, for the 12 stones in Ichika's charm have turned into magical stones to summon elemental djinns. |
