The anime follows fifth grader Kokoro Yotsuba, who is a rather CuteClumsyGirl but has a tendency to take good care of her belongings. One of the things she treasures the most is a [[McGuffin colored pencil]] set, which her grandmother gave her during her kindergarten years and told her that everything has souls, including items. Grandma's words are proven to be literally true one day, as while Kokoro is at school, her colored pencil set at home starts glowing and an egg pops out, revealing itself to be a tiny but powerful furry creature known as a Cocotama. This Cocotama, named Luckytama, has fun by running around the desk until...

Still in WorkInProgress.

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: All Cocotamas comes in different colors while Amanda, the pet cat of the Yotsuba Family is colored purple.

* ShakingTheRump: Cocotamas do this when casting their magic. The boys gets a serious butt shake while the female ones are less offensive, save for Sarine and Parine.

** Luckytama and Melory are going to this path also, but it's in the more of the line of JustFriends / SempaiKohai thought it starting to evolve to loving each other.

..Kokoro got home from school, and was somewhat surprised and shocked to see him! It gets worse from here as he is doomed to disappear unless she signed a [[MagicallyBindingContract Cocotama Contract]] in order for him to exist. Despite him having the worst magic ever, she decided to do it, but is faced with rules, including not revealing their existence or telling them to others. After that, she encounters other Cocotamas that befriend her or cause her trouble as well as dilemmas of her trying to keep them a secret and keeping a very low profile.

First revealed at the 2015 Tokyo Toy Fair, the anime and toy franchise is a cute and adorable take to the PalsWithJesus trope and to usual Shojo anime, with stealth elements of Shinto Animism mixed in. Let's say it's a cute, unusual mix.

* BadassAdorable: Cocotamas don't usually fight but their magic can pack some serious punch when cast at the right moment. Episode 9 proves their magic helped Kokoro's team win a friendly Futsal competition.

* CentralTheme: "Every thing has a Soul". It doubles as an ArcWords referring to Kokoro's bond with her Cocotama friends.

* ChildhoodFriends: Kokoro, Hina and Ayaka were best friends ever since Kokoro is in first grade.
* ConspicuousCG: Everything regarding the Cocotama House gets some CG rendering shots, and it was very good.
* EvolvingCredits: The opening credits of the series changes everytime a new character was introduced, with the recent one being introduced in Episode 27.
* {{Fansub}}: Wasurenai was officially subbing the series, but cannot get pass through Episode 3 and since stuck in DevelopmentHell.
* FunnyAnimal: The Cocotamas themselves, considering they all got animal-like features including tails based on the items they're born in.

* GratuitousEnglish: Most of the toys use English for some names of the characters and the packaging. The same goes to the official website.

* TheMagicGoesAway: The failing condition if a contractor broke the promise in the Cocotama Contract, which results to a serious LaserGuidedAmnesia.

* MeaningfulName: Cocotama has a rather interesting naming. Coco is short for "Kokoro"; meaning Heart and "Tama" either means Soul, God or Egg. It depends on how you portray the translation.
* MerchandiseDriven: It's a Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Franchise, so it's obvious were getting toys based on it.
* TheMovie: A Cocotama movie was released in Japan on April 28, 2017, and a ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}'' short film, ''Tamagotchi! Big Operation Secret Delivery'', was screened with it.
* OverlyLongName: Each of the Cocotama's name was so long, that they just call themselves by their given name instead.
* PalsWithJesus: A somewhat interesting take on the trope. In this case, Kokoro is friends with small, furry apprentice gods.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Just look at of those and let's see if you won't go "aww". Also Amanda has an honorable mention.

* ShakingTheRump: Cocotamas does this when casting their magic. The boys gets a serious butt shake while the female ones were less offensive, sans for Sarine and Parine.
* ShipTease: The series constantly teases Kokoro and Ichinose getting along together, though she doesn't like to admit it to her Cocotama friends.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Strangely, to ''Manga/MirumoDePon'' due to the series having the same premise (fairies to Mirmo while furry gods in Cocotama, yet the theme and execution were different) and happen to have the same writer.

* TrouserSpace: The signature Egg Underpants. All Cocotamas keep their Cocotama Contract inside it like magic, and the contract papers were twice their size!
* TrueCompanions: Kokoro's friends were this, and not just her human ones but her Cocotama friends as well.
