Sally the Witch
Sally the Witch (Japanese: 魔法使いサリー, Hepburn: Mahōtsukai Sarī), originally titled Sunny the Witch (魔法使いサニー, Mahōtsukai Sanī), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Mitsuteru Yokoyama. It was serialized in Shueisha's monthly Ribon magazine from July 1966 to October 1967. Its 1966 anime adaptation was one of the most popular magical girl series of what would eventually become a genre in Japan. Due to its characteristics, it may be considered the first shōjo anime as well; while titles such as Himitsu no Akko-chan predate Sally in manga form, the Sally anime predates Himitsu no Akko-chan's, which came out in 1969.
Sally is the princess of the "Land of Magic" who, one day, decides to move to the "Human World" (Earth), despite facing reluctance from her parents, the King and Queen. There, she immediately befriends two schoolgirls – the tomboyish Yoshiko Hanamura and girly Sumire Kasugano – as she assumes the role of a human child and lives on Earth. She is soon joined by Cub, a resident of the Land of Magic, who requests to stay with Sally, and assumes the role of Sally's younger brother.
The first episode of the anime differs quite a bit from the initial chapters of the manga. There, after being scolded by her mother and reflecting on how bored she was, Sally decides to run away the "Human World" and explore, where she soon meets Yoshiko and Sumire after following them from a mall. The three soon become friends after fending off a couple of burglars thanks to the assistance of Cub (sent by the king to bring Sally back home), as Sally then decides to stay and live on Earth, alongside Cub staying with her to avoid the king's wrath.
Shared between the manga, the original anime adaptation and its sequel, Sally tries to keep her magical abilities a secret as she attempts to live the life of a human child, leading to mischief.
In the final episode of the anime, Sally's grandma informs her she must return to the Land of Magic. Before leaving, Sally tries to tell her friends about her origins, but no one will believe her. Her elementary school catches on fire, and Sally uses her magic to put it out. Her powers thus exposed, Sally's time to leave has finally come. She waves farewell to her friends, and returns to the Land of Magic.
Written and illustrated by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, Sally the Witch, was serialized in Shueisha's monthly Ribon magazine from July 1966 to October 1967. It was originally titled Sunny the Witch, before being changed as Sony owns the trademark to "Sunny". The series was inspired by the American TV sitcom, Bewitched (known in Japan as Oku-sama wa Majo, or The Missus is a Witch).
Mahōtsukai Sally runs half hour per episode and has 109 episodes.[better source needed]
The second season runs half-hour per 88 episodes.[better source needed]
