What is Momokyun Sword?#
Momokyun Sword (also known as Momo Kyun Sword or モモキュンソード) is a unique blend of Japanese folklore and the magical girl genre. The story is inspired by the classic tale of “Momotaro,” but with a modern, comedic twist.
Follow the journey of Momoko, a girl born from a giant peach and raised by an elderly couple. Now a voluptuous teenager, Momoko possesses the incredible ability to fuse with three animal Gods—Inukami (the dog), Sarukami (the monkey), and Kijigami (the pheasant)—to transform into a powerful magical girl. When the demon king’s army attacks her village in search of fragments of a legendary treasure, Momoko sets out on an adventure to recover the “peach fragments” before they fall into the wrong hands.

Is the anime really finished?#
Based on the available data, Momokyun Sword premiered in July 2014. There are no records of subsequent seasons or ongoing productions in the relationship tree, suggesting that the anime run is complete.
Whether the anime provides a fully satisfying conclusion or leaves viewers wanting more is often a point of discussion for fans of the genre. If you find that the anime’s ending leaves you with unanswered questions about Momoko’s quest for the peach fragments, you may want to buy the manga or light novel to see how the source material handles the narrative.
