Description: Popotan
Popotan is the story of three sisters, Ai, Mai, Mii, (sorry, no Strawberry Eggs here), as well as their pet ferret, Unagi, and their housekeeper, Mea. Ai has very large breasts and the ability to speak to plants. She is a bad cook as well, but that doesn't stop her from doing the cooking. Mii dreams of being a magical girl and can heal people. She also has a very unhealthy fixation with anything soft and round. Mai is the most sensible of the three. She is very sensitive about her smaller bosoms, and gets angry when references are made to it.
They run a Christmas shop out of their home, which magically transports through time and space. Mea is their maid. She is usually the calm in the storm of their lives. Unagi is a cute ferret that can transform into a human girl. Their adventures consist of them going around and helping others while searching for an elusive young woman known as "The One." Popotan, it turns out, is their word for dandelions. Ai spends a lot of time talking to the dandelions, as they guide her on the quest. Mea has a very dark secret that could destroy them all, and how does the mysterious Keith fit into all of this? I don't want to spoil too much, but I will say the ending is a heartwarming tearjerker.
