Pastel Yumi
Galen Musbach
Her parents run a flower shop; interestingly,
her father has long hair and seems to have
spent too much time in the poppy fields. Her
mother has short hair and a handsome young
man as a shop assistant. (Necessary since
Yumi's father won't notice hot coffee pouring
on his lap.)
The series opens with 2 cat-squirrel flying
critters in a pink/yellow pastel color scheme
looking for a girl. They find Yumi, drawing
cartoons on the wall surrounding the estate
of a demented rich fat woman (she has pollen
allergies, Yumi is always covered in pollen;
it's their destiny to be foes).
After Yumi saves a dandelion by transplanting
it from the concrete sidewalk where it was
growing into the tulip fields, the fairies decide
to grant her magical powers -- she gets a wand
(made from a tulip) and an amulet. Yumi's
special technique is essentially summoning --
by drawing glowing lines in the air, she can
bring forth a horse, a balloon, a normal change
of clothes, or an elaborate gown made of flower
petals. The summoning is, however, temporary,
and when her clothes vanish, Yumi tends to
be left in her shoes and underwear wherever
she happened to be -- in episode 1, that's on
a stage being watched by hundreds of people.
While most Magical Girls tend to be friendly
towards everyone, Yumi, at least in the beginning
of her series, is a scrapper.

So would she be the girly version of Crayon Shin-Chan? :-) :-) :-)

The series opens with 2 cat-squirrel flying
Kakimaru (yellow) & Keshimaru (pink) are
looking for a girl, who they name as Hanazono
Yumi even though they haven't met her yet.
Meanwhile, Yumi is drawing cartoons on the
in opposing that destiny.) Lady Fuku objects,
but Yumi claims that since Fuku said in a post-
award press conference that she loves children,
she should be willing to prove it. Lady Fuku
doesn't buy that argument and insists that
Yumi clean the wall. While Yumi does that,
her admirer Kenta goes off to tell her family
what happened. Meanwhile, Fuku and her
henchbutler have a plan to make Yumi's work
more difficult by adding a painted dog to the
equation. After the resulting argument, Fuku
prepares to step on a dandelion, which Yumi
fights to protect because it's a flower. The
fairies come to her aid and Yumi transplants
the invasive weed into the poppy fields (look
like tulips to me, but officially Yumi's power
comes from Poppies).
The fairies talk to Yumi and she's agreeable,
so they give her the power of the poppy field.
Using this power, Yumi summons a white horse
by drawing the image in light with her wand,
and powering it with her amulet. The yellow
fairy (gal?) adds wings to Yumi's horse using her
own pen amulet, and they fly off to the carnival.
On the way, they pass the drawing wall, and
the pink fairy uses his power to erase the marks
on it.
Once at the carnival, the fairies get into a fight
with each other over ice cream, knocking Yumi
over into a large doll that breaks. It was her
father's, and he was planning to enter it in
a competition. Everyone works together to
repair it, and the show goes on ... but the doll
falls apart on stage. So it's up to Yumi to make
a dress by magic and take the doll's place.
Which she does, and wins first place. But
Yumi's magic has a time limit, and the dress
disappears while she's standing on stage.
End episode.
Next episode:
Yumi can't find her clothes so she makes an
outfit by magic and heads off to school; it
disappears on the way. Later, Yumi chases
after a demented puppy. In one of the crowd
scenes, we have Mai from Magical Emi and
her main crush.

Haven't seen it. Does Shin-chan get his power
from poppies, ride the white horse, and find
that his power wears off too quickly and leaves
him worse off than before?

Episode 3. Yumi's adventurer grandfather finds
himself too old to continue and seeks an heir;
after trying and failing to interest Yumi's father,
he accepts Yumi as his pupil. This is a continuing
plot.
Episode 4. Kenta finds a treasure map and Yumi
and Dankichi (her grandfather) help him follow it.
Episode 5. After the helper guy is injured, Yumi
takes over his deliveries, finding that it's harder
than it looks.
Episode 6. Lady Fuku starts stalking Yumi because
she thinks Yumi is in league with aliens. Yumi creates
a Lady Fuku with the character Yumi would like to see,
and the new Lady Fuku escapes and starts wandering
around the town being benevolent. Meanwhile, the
original Lady Fuku is out cold after Yumi introduced
her to a flower pot.
Episode 7. Crash and Burn Diet. Yumi decides that
she's fat and needs to lose weight. She doesn't tell
anyone, so they think her loss of appetite is a bad
thing, and keep trying to stuff her like a Xmas goose.
She thinks it's because they hate her and want her
to be ugly. This episode marks the first time we see
(the real) Lady Fuku being a good person.
Episode 8. Yumi's mother and father have a fight.
Yumi tries to help, and makes things worse. Then
Dankichi tells her the way.
Episode 9. Black Wings. A gang of hang-gliding
hoodlums is harassing the town. Tsuyoshi (the
helper guy, I think he's named Tsuyoshi) agrees
to face them in a match off. But he gets injured by
treacherous sabotage, and Yumi flies in his place.
Episode 10. After Dankichi drives Yumi to tears
with his ghost stories, Yumi curses him by summoning
a ghost from her favorite manga; that works, but it
*doesn't* fade away. She seeks out the manga writer
to find out how to defeat the ghastly goblin, but he's
in a slump -- no matter how he tries, he can't draw
the critter. Yumi gets drafted to draw it for him, and
by reading the manga as she draws it she finds out
how to banish the critter back into his manga.
Episode 11. After hearing Dankichi's stories, Yumi
creates an image of a phoenix and lets it fly above
the forest. Phoenix hunters soon gather, and disturb
the peace of the Bee Kingdom -- Flower town has a
lot of bees, and all of them upset at once is a bad
thing. Yumi quells the bees, but the hunters have
had enough. As they leave, Yumi sees one last
hunter -- another phoenix, flying above the trees;
she says nothing.
Episode 12. My Fair Lady. After Yumi crashes a
meeting, Lady Fuku is tasked to instruct her as a
lady and bring her out in society. Yumi's mother
is all for it, but it takes grandpa claiming that Yumi
can't possibly do it to motivate Yumi into working
on it. As the day arrives, Gramps convinces Yumi
that it's all been a ruse; furious, Yumi attends the
party in punk rocker style.
