She decides to stay around for a while, and uses her magic to manipulate everyone's memories, making them believe she has always been Tiko's twin sister. Although she loves playing tricks, she doesn't hesitate to use her magic to solve problems. But being part of a family is a new experience for Tickle, and magic can't solve problems she doesn't understand. She has pony tails as hair dressing. She is between 10–11 years.

And unlike Nagai's other, more popular works, was created for an audience of pre-teen girls.

	The anime television series was produced by [[Toei ~~Animation\|Toei Dōga~~]] in association with Kaze Productions and Neomedia and animated by [[Bandai Namco Filmworks\|Nippon Sunrise]]. It consisted of 45 episodes and was aired across Japan on [[TV Asahi]] from March 6, 1978, to January 29, 1979. It brought the [[magical girl]] genre of anime back to Japanese TV screens for the first time since Toei Animation's ''[[Majokko Megu-chan]]'' aired its final episode in September 1975. Some episodes were scripted by [[Masaki Tsuji]], a longtime friend of Nagai's and head writer on his earlier series ''[[Devilman]]'', ''[[Dororon Enma-kun]]'', and ''Cutey Honey''. Go Nagai also wrote the lyrics to the opening theme song.

	''Majokko Tickle'' is notable for being the first magical girl series to feature a "double hero" (Tickle and her human "sister" Tiko, or a "lucky pair" as they are referred to during the series). Reportedly the series was inspired in part by the popularity of [[Pink Lady (band)\|Pink Lady]]. A female pop duo who were known for performing their songs and dancing in perfect unison. And who sold millions of records in Japan during the late 1970s (they also later had a minor hit in the United States called "[[Kiss in the Dark (Pink Lady song)\|Kiss in the Dark]]"). Pink Lady had an enormous audience of young girls, and ''Majokko Tickle'' was considered an opportunity to capitalize on the similarity. In fact, one of Pink Lady's hits ("Southpaw") was featured in one episode, in which Tickle and her "sisters" Tiko and Hina watch the duo perform the song on TV.

	Perhaps because it is aimed at a substantially younger demographic than Go Nagai's other creations, ''Majokko Tickle'' is one of Nagai's most obscure works. Nevertheless, the series was dubbed into other languages and broadcast in several other countries, including [[Italy]] (''Lilli, un guaio tira l'altro''), [[France]] (''Magique Tickle, drole de fee'' or "Tickle the Funny Fairy"), [[Turkey]], and [[Poland]] (''Magiczne Igraszki''). In Italy, the opening theme song was an instrumental version of the original Japanese theme by [[Mitsuko Horie]], and the Polish version (aired on [[Polonia 1]]) retains the original Japanese vocal themes, but an entirely different song was used in the French version. The Polish dub is peculiar in that it does not feature actual Polish voice actors, but simply a reading of Polish-language dialogue by a female voiceover artist over the original Japanese dialogue. A [[Spanish language\|Spanish]] dub, titled ''Cosquillas Mágicas'', was also shown in [[Spain]] on the [[Antena 3 (Spain)\|Antena 3]] network. ~~All~~ ~~three~~ dubs have completely new music and SFX, possibly because Toei lost the original voiceless materials.

	Since the copyright of the series belongs to Toei Co. Ltd. and not Toei Animation, a [[VHS]] and [[Laserdisc\|LD]] release was not possible. Also, because of this situation, Tickle's appearance in the 1999 [[Role-playing video game]] ''[[Majokko Daisakusen: Little Witching Mischiefs]]'' (which featured magical girls from Toei Animation TV series from 1966–1981, including [[Cutie Honey]], [[Majokko Megu-chan\|Megu-chan]], [[Sally, the Witch\|Sally]], [[Himitsu no Akko-chan\|Akko-chan]] among others), was not possible. After several years, the series has finally been released for the home video market by [[Toei Video]] in Japan in 4 DVD sets of two discs between 2005 and 2006.
