High school student Chiyomi is an
aspiring dancer and closet online novelist. One day her longtime
friend and classmate Riku confesses his feelings for her, but before
she can decide how she feels, a stormy night leaves the
teenager shrunk to the size of a doll. What happens when her former
best friend, the aloof and sullen Minami, is the one to discover
Chiyomi in this strange state? Will Chiyomi be able to confess her
true feelings and break the curse, or will she remain tiny forever?
*This
was my first Japanese drama. It felt very similar to Japanese anime,
in that I could picture nearly every scene drawn as animation. (This
is based off a Japanese manga that is a retelling of the One Inch
Princess legend, so that's probably why.) It's a little sweet, a
little sad, and a little silly, with some cheesy, less-than-perfect
special effects and lower quality filming, but it had a good pace
overall. A fun, short show I might watch again.*
