Follow the daily life of Binchou-tan, a chibi-sized girl who lives alone in an isolated, old house in the mountains. While she may be poor (the house she lives in has holes in the roof and is very old, she has an old sheet with a hole in it, and doesn't own many possessions), Binchou-tan lives life to the fullest. She gets up, gathers what she needs from the nearby fields, and pays for transportation from various animals with seeds, accorns, etc. Rice is the only thing Binchou-tan cannot provide for herself, so whenever she needs a fresh supply, she must travel to the nearby (1930's-style) village to do odd jobs in order to obtain rice. This is the a look at Binchou-tan's life on a day-to-day basis and that of her friends.

Kururu, Chiriri, Hororo, & Sarara are known as Bottle Fairies as each has a bottle representing their color (which the fairies also show in their eyes). Kururu is blue (image, top left), Chiriri is yellow (image, bottom right), Hororo is green (image, bottom left), and Sarara is red (image, top right). They live in a nice, western-styled cottage with a man they call Sensei-san. Next door lives Tama-chan, a young grade school girl. The four fairies pass the time learning about the human world from the safety of Sensei-san's house as they attempt to become human.

Mao-chan is an 8-year old girl who wants to defend Japan from the evils of those ever-so-cute aliens that just keep landing from outer space. Fortunately her grandfather is in charge of the Ground Defense Force and so Mao-chan and two other 8-year old girls (Silvia-chan and Misora-chan) are given the task to defend Japan's ground, air, and sea. Cute girls to fight cute aliens thanks to alien technology left by the turtle Tamo-chan (Love Hina) which transforms the girls into "magical" girls. Why are the cute aliens invading Earth?
