My Melody & Kuromi

My Melody & Kuromi is a 12-episode original net animation that premiered on July 24, 2025. The series blends fantasy and slice-of-life elements, following two rival shop owners in the whimsical kingdom of Mariland as they navigate business competition, magical mysteries, and high-stakes culinary challenges. The story centers on My Melody, who has recently opened a cake shop, and Kuromi, who runs a Japanese sweets establishment across the street, as they prepare for a prestigious sweets-making contest while contending with strange supernatural occurrences.

The series has completed its full run as a finished ONA, making the entire story immediately available to watch. Beyond the lighthearted premise of dueling dessert shops, the narrative takes a darker turn when the competition becomes connected to a mysterious threat affecting Mariland itself. The show balances cozy shop-management vibes with genuine stakes, creating tension between its comfortable slice-of-life moments and the unfolding supernatural crisis. Viewers drawn to character-driven fantasies, food-themed storytelling, or the Sanrio universe will find this series particularly engaging, while those seeking a mix of humor, magic, and competition-based drama have a complete story ready to experience.
