Anime: Magical Idol Pastel Yumi

Pastel Yumi, the Magic Idol is the fourth Magical Girl series created by Studio Pierrot, airing in 1986.

Yumi Hanazono is an aspiring mangaka who loves drawing and flowers. On the day of the Flower Festival, she rescues a dandelion from being weeded, and is surprised when the flower starts speaking to her. The voices belong to Kakimaru and Keshimaru, two flower elves who give Yumi a magical wand and locket as a reward for her kindness. If Yumi draws something in mid-air with her wand, and recites the phrase, "Pastel Poppuru Poppin-pa!", whatever she drew will become real.

This anime provides examples of:

Art Initiates Life
Book Dumb: Yumi doesn't do very well in school.
Dysfunction Junction: Yumi's mother is an alcoholic, and her parents are often fighting with each other.
Fairy Companion: Kakimaru and Keshimaru
French Love Yumi: The show enjoyed success in France under the name "Susy of the Magic Flowers."
Hour of Power: Yumi's magical drawings only last for a short time.
Innocent Flower Girl
Magic Wand
Meaningful Name: "Hana" means "flower."
