What happens

Pastel Yumi, the Magic Idol (魔法のアイドルパステルユーミ, Mahō no Aidoru Pasuteru Yūmi) is a magical girl anime series by Studio Pierrot. It was simultaneously released as a manga by Kiyoko Arai. The fourth magical girl series created by Studio Pierrot, Pastel Yumi also appears in a feature-length OVA as well as the Majokko Club Yoningumi A-kūkan kara no Alien X OVA. Anime Sols attempted to crowd-fund the release of the show on North American DVD, but was not successful. The series became available on the streaming service RetroCrush on May 1, 2020, but the series was taken down on September 1 as it was discovered that the subtitles for episodes 16–25 on the site came from the fansubber Johnny English Subs without his approval. It eventually returned to RetroCrush on March 26, 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
