Tiko, a shy Japanese schoolgirl, receives a book as a gift from her father on her eleventh birthday. When Tiko opens the book, she releases Tickle, a mischievous fairy who was imprisoned inside the book for [[ThePrankster playing pranks]] on people. Tickle spends the series living with Tiko (having cast a spell so that the family believes she's Tiko's sister), using her powers to solve everyday problems, and of course playing tricks on people, particularly Tiko's annoying kid sister, Hina.

''Majokko Tickle'' is an early MagicalGirl series created by Creator/GoNagai (yes, ([[{{NightmareFuel/Devilman}} THAT]] Go Nagai), airing from 1978 to 1979 on Creator/TVAsahi. The anime was produced by Toei Company with the cooperation of Daiko Advertising, but not Creator/ToeiAnimation, with the animation production farmed out to several other studios, including Creator/{{Sunrise}}. It was the first magical girl show since the end of ''Anime/MajokkoMegChan'' in 1975, and Tickle (after Meg-chan) was the second magical girl to be voiced by Creator/RihokoYoshida. Due to being LighterAndSofter than Nagai's usual oeuvre, it's one of his more obscure works, despite having been broadcast in Europe as well as Japan. (Interestingly, although Nagai created the series and wrote the opening theme song lyrics, he did not draw the spinoff manga.)

* ArtEvolution: The episodes animated by Neomedia, especially the first dozen or so, feature very poor animation in general.

Creator/{{Sunrise}} (then known as Nippon Sunrise) became involved beginning with episode 31, and Sunrise's episodes feature generally the best quality of animation.
