LatestNagisa Misumi and Honoka Yukishiro couldn't be more different. Nagisa is sporty and Honoka bookish, and while they attend the same school, they have very little in common - until one day, a shower of shooting stars brings two very unlikely visitors into their lives: Mepple and Mipple, refugees from the Garden of Light, which has been conquered by Darkness. Endowed with new and startling powers, Nagisa and Honoka become Cure Black and Cure White, the legendary warriors of light - together, they are Pretty Cure.
Acting
Yoko Honna and Yukana's chaotic chemistry carries everything
Direction
Invented the Precure formula still used 20 years later
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pretty Cure revitalized the magical girl genre by adding shounen-style combat, directly inspiring later hits like Madoka Magica and Kill la Kill.
This was the first Precure series and remains the only one with two Cures for its entire run—later seasons expanded to teams of 3-5+ girls.
