Doki Doki! Pretty Cure (ドキドキ！ プリキュア Dokidoki! PuriKyua?), loosely translated as "Heartthrob Pretty Cure", is an upcoming 2013 Japanese Magical Girl Anime series and the tenth installment in Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure series. Produced by Toei Animation, the series will commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Pretty Cure Series and will be premiered on February 3, 2013.
Confirmation and Development
Doki Doki! Pretty Cure was first revealed on October 25, 2012 after Toei filed the trademark at the Japan Patent Office for a variety of goods on October 2.[1] and the official logo was revealed in the January issue of Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine[2]. The series will commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Pretty Cure Series in 2013, replacing Smile Pretty Cure! on its initial timeslot.
The key visual first revealing the Cure's look was a poster officially released by Asahi TV on 8 Dec 2012. The poster officially confirmed the presence of 5 mascots, one of them named Sharuru (4 companions that can become mobile phone transformation devices, plus a baby-mascot), the lead character's name as Aida Mana, the enemy's name Jikochuu, and a key location in the story Clover Tower.
Story
From the Asahi TV poster:
Aida Mana is a girl who is always eager to do things for the sake of others.
One day, when she was visiting the Clover Tower during her school's orientation program, an enemy named Jikochuu appeared suddenly, and tried to manipulate her inner heart! To fight this enemy, she borrowed power from fairy Sharuru and a magical device called the Cure Lavies to transform into Pretty Cure!
To protect the peace of the world, other legendary Pretty Cure soon joined her in battle! A mysterious baby also appears, making each day a "Heartthrob" experience! The 4 Cures, always holding "love" in their hearts, are battling for the world's fate!
