* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In one episode of the original 1969 series, Akko-chan, attempting to be sympathetic to a deaf-mute kid, wishes to be a deaf-mute version of herself. In a really scary turn of events, after merrily prancing around in her deafened state, Akko-chan finds herself stuck with deaf-muteness: since the LiteralGenie quality of the mirror kicked in, she loses her ability to enunciate words, and despite her heartwrenching attempts, the mirror refuses to acknowledge her repeated (and silent) pleas. She was ultimately changed back, [[spoiler:but only because the magic mirror was revealed to believe Akko-chan's desire for deafness to be shallow and impulsive, and wanted to [[AnAesop show her how serious a handicap it is]].]]

* LiteralGenie: The mirror usually works this way, especially to impart AnAesop, forcing Akko-chan to formulate clear, simple wishes.

All incarnations of the series follow the same premise. Atsuko "Akko-chan" [[MeaningfulName Kagami]][[note]]"kagami" is Japanese for "mirror"[[/note]], is an energetic elementary schoolgirl who has an affinity for mirrors. One day, her favorite mirror, which was given to Akko by her mother (or in some versions, by her father), is broken, and she prefers to bury it in her yard rather than throw it to the trash can. She is then contacted by a spirit (or in some cases the Queen of the Mirror Kingdom) in her dreams who is touched that the little girl would treat the mirror with such respect, and gifts her with a magical mirror that allows her to [[TransformationTrinket transform into anything and anyone she wants]], [[PowerCopying sometimes copying their abilities too]]. The anime adaptations upgraded the mirror from a simple hand mirror into a magical compact in order to [[MerchandiseDriven sell more toys]] to the show's young female viewership.

Added DiffLines:

* ReCut: As noted by the Japanese version of ThatOtherWiki, when the first anime premiered Akatsuka re-did the manga for ''Ribon'', retelling many of the old stories with updated art to match the anime's character designs, and sometimes excising or adding new ones. Many of the manga's older tankoban releases print the recut, rather than the "original" series.
