This is a relatively new series that appeared in Italy by the name Melowy. It's a slice-of-life series about five friends attending a high-school high up in the skies named Destiny, set in the planet of Aura. It quite heavily draws from that other series that came from Italy but still kinda retains its originality in terms of style.

The five characters are
- Clio, who was adopted and raised by the school cook Teodora. She is a bit of mysterious but pretty energetic and outgoing kind of girl.
- Maia, the slightly shy and unsure personality, relying on her other friends often, but is a kindhearted fellow.
- Elettra, the all-out outrovert who is very impulsive, but warm and friendly towards even those who normally wouldn't deserve it.
- Kora, the calm and collected, strategist leader type with very high intellect and a fit of perfectionism.
- and Selena the introverted, 'dark' kind of gal who prefers solitude and privacy but doesn't refuse the company of her friends either.

I unfortunately don't know Italian so I don't have the chance to read these, but a friend of mine have uploaded a bunch of pictures (which apparently the series half-relies on) which have completely won my heart.

GreyFeather said there is a possibility of this going international next year, and I'm so absolutely hoping for that, I love the concept and the style and the characters and EVERYTHING so far even though I've only been looking at pictures and listening to explanations. And what's more they have their own blind bags:

Their designs remind me of Madoka Magica ponies. Looks cute!

When I read "fairy-corns" though, I fully expected some type of sentient corn ears in tutus and tiaras.

I'm really hoping we get this and have ever since EQD did a post on it a while back. They're super cute and the little blind bags are adorable from what I remember.

The art is gorgeous! I wonder if any toys/figures will be made based off of this?

There are blind-bags with snap-in wings, but they are very, very, tiny. Very tiny.

Mee too, wasn't sure what to expect! 

Also, in the pics where they're standing up like humans with their arms strategically across their chests, i feel like there are boobs missing.  It's a little confusing!

They're really cute, but I'm not too fond of their legs? So... noodly...

Well if some real dolls are ever made I will be importing. My poor wallet will be sobbing.

I'd love to see a pic of them!  They sound cute!
