Colorful♥Cuties (カラフル♥キューティーズ Karafuru♥Kyūtīzu) is a magical girl fan series set to "air" in 2015. The story focuses on 7 girls (Rena, Emi, Kana, Midori, Otome, Teruru, and Nanako) as they protect the world from an incoming threat that can make Earth a dull, colorless, place.
While the concept is just a fan anime, it has been confirmed by the author that she might create a book series of the Colorful Cuties.
Plot
CORE (Colorless Organization of Restless Enemies) has already sucked the colors of every planet...except Earth. When they find out about this final target, a young butterfly-like creature, Niji, is sent to Earth with the mission to search for the Colorful Cuties, a team that consists of 7 girls who use the power of the rainbow to triumph in battle!
Akahi Rena is your average 14 year old girl. One day when she is late for school, she notices that no one even arrived. At this moment, Niji stumbles into her, noticing the empty school. Rena notices the color seems more dull, and Niji realizes CORE has started its damage.
Suddenly, Niji's Cutie Tracker goes off, alerting her that Rena is one of the Colorful Cuties! With the power of the Colorful Maker and the Rainbow Crystal, Rena transforms into the leader of the soon to be team, Magic Red! But one fight isn't enough to stop CORE. It will take 7 girls, power, and magic...

Episodes
Each week, on Saturdays, a new episode airs. The first 7 episodes follow a pattern where the name of the next team member is revealed. Thus, until the preview for episode 8 airs and with the exclusion of the series premiere, the preview does not spoil the episode title so the audience will not know who transforms next.
