Her portrayal of the determined yet sometimes uncertain young girl perfectly captures the character's personality and growth throughout the series. The supporting cast, including Houko Kuwashima as Aoi and Saki Fujita as Itsuki, also deliver strong performances that help bring the characters to life.

Overall, Wish Upon the Pleiades is a charming and enjoyable magical girl anime series that is well worth watching. With its endearing characters, captivating story, and beautiful animation, it's a series that will leave viewers feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
