I will say coming off of me being utterly disappointed from Happiness Charge Precure, this series that came after felt like a step to the right direction. This is especially true for the Yellow Precure for Go Princess since Kirara just owns every time she's on screen. I seriously like everything about her sassy personality and determination which makes her one of my top favorite Yellow Precures. Cool

Yes, one of my favorite seasons! And don't worry, having seen this when it aired, Haruka becomes a much more layered character in the second half. I think. It's been a while.

There are probably Precure series that are better, but this one will always be my personal favourite. It has the best outfits and transformations, the best animation, the best character development... what's not to like?

This series is GOATed and everyone should watch it.

Cure Flora is my favorite canon Cure (I say because I am a Cure Waffle believer) because she is so much like myself, using the word "princess" to mean beacon of hope, and her aesthetic is so me.

This is the series that truly gives Heartcatch a run for its money as the most popular.

For me I think the most interesting thing about Haruka, at least for the first half of the series, is her diligence. She's far from the first magical girl lead to depart from the Usagi Tsukino mold of unacademic crybaby, but rather than being particularly brainy or naturally badass, we see her as a hard worker. A true princess is strong, kind, and beautiful? Well she doesn't know what to do about the second two, but she can definitely work on the first by getting up early to go on runs. She actively seeks out mentors like Minami and puts in the work to learn as much as she can. Her whole goal of becoming a princess isn't remotely like an idea of marrying into a life of luxury, it's a process of becoming a person she aspires to be and can be proud of. It's all a little mundane and maybe makes her less obviously impressive than other protagonists, but it all makes her someone I find easy to root for and find inspiration in.
