Living in the shadow of his older brother, Lylasia&#8217;s great hero Gelato, Sherbert desperately wants to be a hero as well. But his enthusiasm gets him in trouble, and he is attacked by the Kuuka, an outcast species who can possess the minds of those with negative emotions. Sherbert&#8217;s dormant magical powers suddenly awaken, and he teleports himself and the enemy to Tokyo.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Erika Togawa is an 11-year-old girl living in Tokyo, she saves Sherbert from a monster and is bestowed with the ability to transform into a magical girl. A little bit headstrong, Erika builds a close bond with Sherbert, which strengthens their magic ties. Erika\u2019s magic is based on Sherbert\u2019s \u201cmix\u201d of rabbit, deer, and dragon DNA. She gains different outfits when their bond is strengthened, and enhanced abilities like PyonPyonAcceleration. Sherbert doesn\u2019t quite understand the meaning of a hero, but with Erika\u2019s help, Sherbert grows into a true hero, willing to fight for his friends and all innocent creatures throughout the universe.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>Source<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Press Release\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABLAZE has announced that it would be adding the shoujo manga series Magical Beast Sherbert to its growing catalog of manga.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":34886,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[4359,122,2861],"class_list":["post-34884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-anime","tag-ablaze","tag-manga","tag-zexcs"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/MAGICAL-BEAST-SHERBERT-COV-e1648787146459.jpg?fit=543%2C307&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8n4QV-94E","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34884"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34884"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35007,"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34884\/revisions\/35007"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
