Miriya is a rich girl who can have anything she wants, except seeing her parents. On her birthday, she receives a gift she'd never expect -- a magical talking cat appears out of nowhere and takes her to Paris one century into the past to train her to be a skillful witch.

''Miriya & Marie'' (''べっぴん魔女ミリヤ&マリー -- from DISNEYおしゃれキャット'', lit. The Elegant Witch Miriya & Marie from Creator/{{Disney}}'s ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'') is a MagicalGirl manga written by MAYA and ''Creator/{{Disney}}'' and serialized in Creator/{{Kodansha}}. It's loosely based on Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon's film ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats''. Republished by ''Creator/{{Tokyopop}}'' in English as ''Disney Manga: Miriya and Marie'' in 2018.

!! ''Miriya & Marie'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationalBadass: Marie from ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'' is now a magic teacher.
* AllWitchesHaveCats: [[CatsAreMagic Marie and Blackey]] are Miriya and Leon's mentors in magic.
* AndYourRewardIsEdible: Most rewards for magic tests are Frnech or Japanese confectionery.
* AnimalsNotToScale: Compared to other animals, the residents of the Maze are as big as humans, including insects.
* {{Animorphism}}: Miriya transforms herself and Leon into cats during ChristmasEpisode, and herself into a dog to find an original painting between it and a copy.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Try following this. Foara the whale asks the gang to investigate her stomacheache from inside. Disregarding that there's an ocean-sized maze inside her stomach, it turns out the whale is pregnant, but can't give birth because the baby is caught in a net that the mother accidentally swallowed. To reiterate, the baby whale is not in the womb, but lying in the corner of a stomach-cave.
* AwesomeUnderwaterWorld: In one chapter the cast explores the ocean while looking for a dolphin's mother, SceneryPorn ensues.
* AudienceParticipation: The manga has a few minigame pages, like spotting a difference between two paintings and counting the objects on page. More directly, a chapter asks the reader to help Miriya to color her new dress, though it defaults to all pink later.
* AuthorGuestSpot: Early chapters end with a bonus page of MAYA and Sonoda visiting Paris for the first time.
* BigEater: Miriya can't resist French pastries, and accidentally ruins Poyoyon's gingerbread-made cafe in a rush (He admits he repairs it frequently, but Miriya repairs it with Japanese sweets).
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Leon and Blackey first appear as very nice despite being Miriya's rivals, then they mockingly tell her she's unqualified as a witch for being [[ForeignQueasine unable to eat Snail Stew]] and continue to taunt her later. They get nicer.
* BreakoutCharacter: ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'' is proven to be popular in Asia to get a lot of side materials, a spin-off with Marie as the main character is just another proof.

* InstantExpert: Miriya masters magic spells on her first try, the only setback is that she's a bit airheaded.

* TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside: Out of pity for talking ugly vegetables (one admits being eaten by bugs), Miriya turns them into beautiful meals and Marie states that always what's inside matters.
