Synopsis:

In 2004, four fairies arrive from a mystical realm, each embodying a distinct color and contained within a uniquely designed bottle. Eager to immerse themselves in human culture, Kururu, Chiriri, Sarara, and Hororo navigate the complexities of everyday life with wide-eyed wonder and occasional bewilderment. They find unlikely guidance from a college student, "Sensei-san," and a young girl named Tama-chan, whose innocent perspective often mirrors their own. The series explores the charming clash between fantastical beings and ordinary human routines, focusing on friendship, cultural exchange, and the endearing struggles of adapting to a new environment. The narrative emphasizes gentle humor and heartwarming moments as the fairies attempt to understand and embrace the nuances of the human world, creating a tranquil and introspective viewing experience.
