Additionally, American Greetings Properties is seeking to build the foundation of the program with partnerships in the publishing, toy, apparel, accessories, and home entertainment categories, states an official release.

American Greetings Properties studio chief and creator of Maryoku Yummy Jeffrey Conrad said, "Maryoku means `magical' in Japanese and the characters grew out of doodles that I created over the years. I've always been fascinated by the landscape prints from the Edo Period because they create a visual journey that inspires both philosophical and poetic reflection. We are very excited about partnering with DQ Entertainment to bring Maryoku Yummy to life in animation."

Targeted to children age two to five, the animated series follows Maryoku, an adorable "Yummy" who lives in a quirky, fantastical world where all children's wishes go to be granted.
