Cottonsweet: Maho no Usagi

Cottonsweet: Maho no Usagi (Japanese: コットンスイート：魔法のうさぎ; Hepburn: Kottonsuīto: Mahō no Usagi) is a Japanese shōjo manga series based off of YTV Family/Nicktoons Family's Cottonsweet, serialized online since February 2019. The manga was in development since June 2018, according to NickFamily Studios, who granted permission for the manga to be produced in May 2018. An anime adaptation by Studio Aura and Silver Link premiered on all TXN stations on April 20th, 2020, replacing the 2019 Shoujo Mangaka Mizu anime adaptation in its initial timeslot. Crunchyroll, FunimationNow, and HiDive simulcast the anime in North America, making it the first Cottonsweet anime to get an official simulcast in the region outside of Crunchyroll. Starting with episode 53, Flare+ also began simulcasting the series.

In July 2020, it was announced that AuraAnime Licensing have licensed the anime in Australia and New Zealand and would stream it on AnimeLab.

The manga ended in 2021, with the anime to follow in September 2022. According to Nickelodeon Family, in addition to the anime ending up adapting the entire manga, the network intended to shift its anime production resources more towards original IPs; this, in turn, would cause every NFU anime excluding the Lucid Fantasy anime to end production.

Trivia

 * Despite being a shōjo manga, the manga is inspired by various shōnen manga and anime, most notably Naruto and Dragon Ball Z.
 * During the manga's more comedic moments, Cottonsweet can sometimes have a character design similar to a Sunshine-era Jewelpet. This will not be carried over to the anime adaptation by Studio Aura and Silver Link.
