A manga adaptation by Futago Kamikita was serialised in Kodansha's monthly Nakayoshi magazine. The main topics of the series are music (the second to do so after HeartCatch PreCure!), which influences the names of the Cures and the magical devices they use, as well as friendship, as emphasized by two of its characters: Hibiki Hojo and Kanade Minamino. Plot In a place called Major Land, the "Melody of Happiness" is due to be played, spreading happiness throughout the world. However, an evil man named Mephisto steals the Legendary Score, plotting to turn it into the "Melody of Sorrow" to spread sadness across the land. Aphrodite, the queen of Major Land, scatters the Notes that make up the Legendary Score into the human world and sends a fairy named Hummy to Kanon Town in order to recover them. There, Hummy meets two girls, Hibiki Hojo and Kanade Minamino, who are chosen to become the Suite Pretty Cures in order to recover the missing Notes and protect everyone's happiness. Characters Suite Pretty Cures Voiced by Ami Koshimizu The main protagonist. Hibiki is born to a rich family and is a 14-year-old student in the second year of Private Aria Academy junior high. She has a bright personality, excels at sports and volunteers in sport clubs, but isn't very good at schoolwork. Although her parents are musical celebrities, Hibiki thinks she has no musical talent even though she has absolute pitch. She played piano as a kid, but stopped for when she felt she let her father down after a performance. She also loves to eat sweet things, particularly the cakes from Kanade's family's shop. After meeting Siren, her potential as a Pretty Cure was awakened when she and Kanade were rendered immune to Siren's attack, and through her musical score, she transforms into Cure Melody. As Cure Melody, her normally brown-orange hair tints light pink and becomes tied in extra long twintails and her Fairy Tone is Dory.
