Do you dream of getting an adorable and delicious Valentine's present from Kanako Mimura? Thanks to Aniplex and Boul'Mich, that dream could become a reality!
Kanako Mimura from The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls loves making and eating sweets. So she must have been delighted to become a campaign girl for Boul'Mich, Japan's national French confectionery brand! Boul'Mich is famous for its variety of baked sweets, and Kanako has teamed up with the company to make delicious macarons just like the ones she made in episode 6 of the anime series. Kanako's carefully arranged them in a special box and she's ready to deliver them to her producer.
♛ Illustrations
The illustration that animator Megumi Kouno prepared specially for this project has finally been revealed! This collector's edition illustration perfectly captures everything that we love about Kanako, and just one look at her cute smile and you're sure to feel wonderfully soothed. Megumi's illustration is featured on a postcard and B2 poster.

♛ Producteur
The flavours, shape, and packaging design of the macarons were all decided by Yuka Ohtsubo, Kanako's voice actress! The macarons are adorably heart-shaped and they come in three different flavours: Framboise (raspberry), Passion (passion fruit), and Poire (pear). Just like Kanako, Yuka loves sweets too. Thanks to her confectionery expertise, these yummy and cute macarons are the perfect sweets for Kanako. The book-shaped deluxe box that the macarons come inside is lovingly decorated with Megumi Kouno's specially drawn illustration. The box's mint colour means that both guys and girls can enjoy displaying it in their homes.
♛ Coeur Macaron
Boul'Mich has been making authentic French confectionery for 32 years, and it has over 130 stores across Japan including its flagship Ginza store.

Their flavour boasts the perfect amount of sweetness, and you're sure to find yourself coming back for just one more... Who are we kidding, "just one more" definitely isn't enough when it comes to these exquisite treats! The ganache is made by mixing together chocolate and cream, with each flavour featuring a different cream.
