Marinette Cheng, a shy high-school student, has inherited some magical
ladybug-shaped earrings. The ornaments grant the power of Luck to
whoever wears them. Yet there is one condition : they have to be worn in
an altruistic manner, or else, beware of the consequences!
Whenever the situation needs it, Marinette turns into LADYBUG, the guardian angel.
