In the Imperial Tower of the
magical kingdom of Juraihelm, a new queen has just been chosen. Tsunami's first
duty as queen is to restore the balance of the "Scale of Gemini", which had
begun to lean toward the darker side in the absence of a queen. To do this, she
must first choose a person who shares her soul, endow this individual with her
magical powers and have him or her use the force in good will. Sasami Kawai, a
fourth grader, has been raised by an energetic father and a gentle mother and is
a sweet and relatively quiet girl. Surrounded by friends, her life is pretty
normal until one day she comes home to find Tsunami waiting for her in the hopes
to recruit her as a "Magical Girl". Sasami decides to give it a try, but is
totally embarrassed by the way she looks after using the magical wand. Tsunami
doesn't take notice of what Sasami says and hurriedly leaves her with a mission
and a partner named Ryo-ohki. Then suddenly, a mysterious girl clad in exotic
clothes shows up. Who is she? What will happen to Sasami!?
Episode #2: Samy Goes Training!

fourth grader until recruited to become Magical Girl "Pretty Samy" against her
will. Even while she protests, she is challenged by a mysterious girl with an
attitude, the loud exhibitionist Pixy Misa, who declares to make her cry with
her magical powers. Yes, she is in fact the other Magical Girl. Pixy Misa
transforms Sasami's CD into a Love Love Monster CD Woman, who attacks Sasami,
forcing her to turn into Pretty Samy to defend herself. However Samy has no idea
as to how to use her powers! Disgusted by her ineptitude, Misa gives Samy three
hours to practice her magic. Samy is taken to her school by Ryo-ohki, but she is
frightened that someone will identify her as Sasami and laugh at the way she
looks. Ignoring her fears, Ryo-ohki orders Samy to follow a rigorous training
menu including chin-ups and a marathon . Not convinced as to why she has to
undergo this, Samy heads back for her battle with the CD Woman anyway. In order
to save her classmates Mashima and Oyamada, who are caught in the cross fire,
Samy must now use her magical powers... And she successfully blows away the CD
Woman, marking her first victory!! Way to go Samy!

Sasami's first battle, and thanks to Mashima and Oyamada, everyone is talking
about Pretty Samy, while Sasami vows to keep her new identity a secret. In the
meantime, Ryo-ohki successfully appeals to Sasami's parents, convincing them to
keep her as a pet. Sasami discovers this on her return from school, but can't
protest having scored only 60 on her recent test. Seeing this, Dad shows Sasami
an ad for a cram school, which happens to be the one her best friend Misao goes
to. Sasami decides to check it out with her Dad, only to find Comic Woman,
another one of Pixy Misa's creation, raising havoc. With Ryo-ohki's urging, she
reluctantly turns into Pretty Samy, but is captured by the Comic Woman. Just
then, Konoha jumps in and saves her, and Samy launches her special attack, the
Pretty Coquettish Bomber! Afterwards, Sasami and Ginji run in to Misao and
invite her over for dinner to celebrate her perfect test score. The Kawai's are
having Sukiyaki tonight!

test during tomorrow's Phys .Ed., and she is helping Misao practice as she can't

of leaping over the boxes. However, thanks to Mashima, who happened to be there
helping Oyamada practice, Misao manages to clear five boxes. A jealous Konoha
spies on Mashima and Misao, clearly not liking what she sees. The next day,
Konoha suggests to begin the trials at level six in order to embarrass Misao. As
Konoha intended, Misao freezes with fear at the sight of the intimidating boxes.
Having seen this, Rumiya transforms Misao into Misa. Sasami begins to look for
the missing Misao, but Phys. Ed. Woman challenges her at that moment, and she

boxes with Sasami's words in her mind...

argument by a dodge ball match. Finally realizing what is going on, the two
teachers join their students and begin to cheer enthusiastically, eager to see

students one by one, not even letting them touch the ball. Unhindered by
Kiyone's triumphant laughter, Sasami manages to catch the ball and begins to
retaliate. Surprised by this development, Kiyone's team replaces one of their
players with Misa. At Misa's fierce counterattack, Ryo-ohki advises Sasami to

Sasami. Then, Magical Girl Misa shows up, and despite Washu's efforts to
experiment on her as a subject, the scientist is confined to one of the beakers
by Misa's magic. However, Washu is too busy feeding data to her computer that

the keeper of the monsters. In the meantime, by pure coincidence, Sasami's
classmates are also visiting the island, led by Washu. They encounter a monster
at the beach. Washu is thrilled. She launches a missile using her computer, but
destroys their boat instead. Having detected a magical reaction, Sasami
transforms into Samy and heads out to get rid of the monster, but fails to do so

Kito Gumi, who plan to remodel it into a Western theme park. Even Shinobu's
older brother, Toshiya left home to be on Kito Gumi's side, believing that a
Western Village would be more cooler than a Ninja Village. Just when Sasami and
Ginji are being told of the situation, Kito Gumi raids the house and challenges
them to a Cowboy-style fast gunning match. The loser has to leave the village!
Misa, who is siding with the Kito Gumi brings out Gun Man Woman, and the two

wand!?

to deal with her. Sasami receives a letter challenging her and learns that Misao
