Introduction

What are Puchidols?

Puchidols are small, cute, and mysterious creatures working at the talent agency, 765 Production.

Some shoot beams, some warp, some dig holes, some heal others… there are many mysteries to these creatures.

But they kind of resemble the various idols working at 765 Pro…?

Story

Once you start watching, you'll be too addicted to stop! You have to watch before you can talk about PUCHIM@S!
