Plot
Naneta Toha is the daughter of the Jungle Chief but she would rather play and practice her magic than find a groom. But this would change when she, Yana and Chika were captured by hunters to be sent to the Zoo but they escaped and found themselves being taken to an orphanage by Mackita where they met 3 12 year old girls named Akana Yoriyama, Haco Maka and Reiko Akato, a group of orphaned comedians who are being taken care of by Makika Menano.

Characters
Naneta Toha is a jungle resident who was kidnapped along with Yana and Chika. She is 14 years old and is still a witch doctor in training. She, along with Yana and Chika, mostly speaks broken japanese but her volcabulary seems to improve throughout the entire series.

Yana Mikina is an elephant who is the daughter of Osamu and Etsuko. She was born with mouse-like ears which she mostly uses for flight. She secretly has a crush on Makita's dog Lucky.

Chika Yoroyano is a bear who is the daughter of Hiroshi and Masako. She uses a stick to fight whenever she feels threatened by a stranger. She was once accused of attacking someone which turned out to be in self-defence.
