お星様にお願いっ! [Ohoshi-sama ni Onegai!]

A short-lived but charming 1999–2001 manga series from Hakusensha, お星様にお願いっ! (translated as Make a Wish to the Stars!) is a lighthearted romantic comedy that follows the misadventures of a young girl who wishes upon a star—only to have a literal, mischievous star-child appear to grant her desires in unexpected ways. Spanning just eight issues, this series is best remembered for its whimsical art and sweet, episodic storytelling by creator Natsumi Itsuki, offering a cozy slice of magical realism that captures the gentle humor and heart of late-90s shojo manga.
