Twin Princess of Wonder Planet

[edit]

The Wonder Planet is inhabited by seven kingdoms, all of them supported by the Sun's Blessing from the Sunny Kingdom. However, unbeknownst to them, the Sun's Blessing is about to go out soon and the Wonder Planet will soon be covered in darkness. The twin princesses of the Sunny Kingdom, Fine and Rein, learn about the Wonder Planet's decline from Princess Grace, the legendary princess from the Sunny Kingdom who had saved the Sun's Blessing years ago. Grace sends Poomo, a fairy, to guide them as she gives them the power of the Prominence, which allows them to use magic that will allow them to save the Sun's Blessing. Meanwhile, Fine and Rein begin attending Princess Parties, prestigious contests between all of the princesses of each kingdom.

Twin Princess of Wonder Planet Gyu!

[edit]

Fine, Rein, and the other princesses and princes leave the Wonder Planet to attend the Royal Wonder Academy, to earn their certifications to become the kings and queens of their kingdoms. However, Fine and Rein are shocked to discover that the school discourages friendship. During the school orientation, the vice principal presents the Soleil Bell, which will only ring if the chosen Universal Princess touches it. When Fine and Rein accidentally touch it, the Soleil Bell chooses them as the next Universal Princesses, awakening fairies Pyupyu and Kyukyu to aid them and giving them magic that will allow them to stop the power of the Black Crystal Planet threatening the universe.

Development

[edit]

Birthday, the original designers of the Wonder Planet and the characters, launched a concept webpage in 2003 in hopes of marketing their ideas to companies.[2] Nihon Ad Systems and TV Tokyo adopted the idea a year later.
