Flower Witch Mary Bell

Yuuri and Ken are two siblings living in the port town of Sunny Bell, where their parents have recently moved and set up a flower shop. They are given the Mary Bell Picture Book from their neighbor Rose, which is a story about two children who get lost in the forest and are helped by a magical girl named Mary Bell. The children wish together that Mary Bell was there to help their parents' struggling flower shop. Suddenly, Mary Bell appears in front of them, introducing herself and her Seelie Court partner Tambourine, and agreeing to help them with magic. Over the course of the series, Mary Bell, Ken, Yuuri, a dog named Ribbon, and the others go on adventures in both Sunny Bell and the Flower Magic World, Mary Bell's home. The series finale involves the Holy Tree of the Flower Magic World coming to Sunny Bell in order to take away all of the plants on Earth, as it believes is necessary to prevent humans from harming them. Mary Bell and the townspeople are able to convince it not to do this, and Mary Bell decides to stay on Earth and encourage people with magic, even though her goal (to collect the dreams of humans by helping them) has already been completed. ==Characters==
