The beginning of a long, long journey!!

Summary:
Doremi Harukaze is the world's most unlucky bishoujo… or so she says. She has crushes on many boys, including this one Igarashi-sempai, a soccer player. Meanwhile, another girl, Maki, bought a supposedly wish-granting ornament from a certain weird magic shop. She likes Igarashi-sempai too.

Unfortunately for Doremi, she can't approach and confess to him. So she had this passing interest of magic and witches. So Doremi stumbles on this weird magic shop, inside is some creepy old lady. Since she read some witch book, Doremi immediately accused the lady… of being a "majo!" (witch). The old lady instantly turned into a frog! It's a curse whenever humans discover that they are witches. The only way to turn her (Majo Rika) back is to make Doremi an apprentice witch! Doremi apparently likes the idea!

So armed with all she needs, she tries on her magic and flies to the soccer match Igarashi-sempai was playing in. She uses all sorts of magic to disrupt the game all for the love of Igarashi-sempai. But then the boy got injured in the leg! Lala (Majo Rika's fairy) warns that healing someone's wound will transfer the wound back to her. Maki wishes for it to heal, the ornament she bought reacted to her 'wish'… and Igarashi's wound got healed. In exchange, Maki was the one injured.

At the clinic, Igarashi and Maki confessed to each other, much to the surprise and disappointment of Doremi. Hazuki (Doremi's best friend) reacted that she seems to be giving up. Oh well, she's the world's most unlucky bishoujo after all.

Notes:
- I'm introducing IMO the best anime series ever made. Pay attention.
- Take note of ALL the characters, they are NOT one-shot characters, they will appear again, trust me.
- Doremi's chant is "Pirika Pirilala Popolina Peperuto".
- Doremi has the magical affinity of the piano.
- Doremi is very energetic. If ever she grows up, she can be like Yankumi (Gokusen)… weird comparison? See why, soon.
- Humans don't know witches exist. When a witch gets discovered by a human, they turn into Majo-gaeru (witch frogs), and they can never turn back unless the human culprit becomes a witch themselves and use some magic on them.
- Doremi becomes a Witch Apprentice. Apprentices must pass some tests before being a full-fledged witch.
- Magic limitation, you must NEVER use healing magic. Using it can have catastrophic effects, like transferring the wound to the magic caster… or even… death.
- The Porons have limited MP (as in RPG MPs), they need Magic Beads.
