Magical Kurumi-chan

Magical Kurumi-chan (まじかる☆くるみちゃん) is a fictional magical girl series often mentioned in Innocence Seekers: The Black Rose. In-universe, it was created by Namari mangaka Noriko Yoshikawa and the first chapter was released in 2005 in the Namari language. A Japanese translation by the same author was published in 2006. In 2008, it was adapted into a 24-episode (2-cour) anime and aired in Namari and Japan. It has proven especially popular with young girls in Namari, however, its popularity in Japan is somewhat less due to competition.
