Minami and Chiyomi are neighbors and grew up together. At some point they promised to marry each other. Now in high school, Minami is rather cold towards Chiyomi and during a rainy night, after a fight with her parents, Chiyomi ends up wishing to the gods that she turns small again. The gods grant her wish and make her small. Shrink her to the size of a doll. And Minami is the one who finds her. Together they are looking for a way to turn her big again and how to conceal her situation from teachers and parents.

It seems like they just want to re-make this show every 10 years. I watched the version of 2004 and to be honest, it wasn't a good story. But as I already paid for Netflix and the show was there, I decided to give it a try. And I was so pleasantly surprised! All my problems with the older version were made a lot better in this version! I liked the acting, the story and - this one is the most important - the ending! I just liked how they had chemistry, even though I am sure they didn't film together for 90% of the time. Okay, the parts with the blue screen could have been made better, but I still was fine while watching it and not getting annoyed by some off-movements from Minami. I also thought the characters were better developed and had more depth than in the 2004 version.

But not comparing this to any other version, I still felt like something was lacking. It was a cute and magical story, the romance was there and cute. But then, there were some parts that seem boring. Some forced drama. It could have been made better.

Still, I enjoyed it as what it is - a nice, soft romance with a good cast and a bit of magic. So magical overall 4* from me and a recommendation if you didn't like the 2004 version and want to see how it should have gone!
