Shintarō Dōge (Arknights: Perish in Frost assistant director, Pet episode director) is directing the anime at Studio Pierrot, and is credited for the original character designs. Yūko Kakihara (Blue Box, 2022 & 2024 Urusei Yatsura) is supervising and writing the series scripts. Namiko Tori (Pokémon: Paldean Winds sub-character designer), Hirono Nishiki (My Dress-Up Darling episode key animator), and Asami Sodeyama (Witchy Precure! -MIRAI DAYS-) are designing the characters.

The anime's story centers on sisters Fū and Rui, who used to be close, but have been a bit distant from each other recently. One day, Fū encounters a mysterious spaceship and gains magical powers. At that same time, Rui also gains magical powers, and both transform into the adults they dream to be. The sisters' powers come with two conditions: their magic powers can only be used in one year, and no one must know about it. Unaware of each other's secrets, Fū and Rui become active as idols.

Pierrot announced the new magical girl anime project in June 2024. The series is the latest in a line of magical girl television anime from Pierrot, including Magical Angel Creamy Mami (1983-1984), Magical Fairy Persia (1984-1985), Magical Star Magical Emi (1985-1986), Magical Idol Pastel Yumi (1986), and Fancy Lala (1998).
