Background Story

The people of Culture World can get to the human world by using a portal that is hidden in the basement of Princess Rei's castle. The world has lived peacefully for many years until their enemy, Saigai, found a way into the world. Everyone in Culture World were turned into evil monsters called Jihen and destroyed the world except for the castle. Leaving the world in such a terrible scenery. The commanders of Saigai wanted to do the same to Planet Earth and set off to attack the planet. But before they could do any harm to Earth, four warriors came and fought against them. They had brought peace back to Culture World and have been a legend ever since then. And these legendary warriors are called; Sweet Culture Pretty Cure!.

Story
On Planet Earth, there is a town in Japan called Bunka Town. There lives three childhood friends named Amai Chihiro, Hohoemi Hairi and Shukusai Matsuko. They all go to the same school and have been friends since they were four years old.

Chihiro had gotten lost in the woods when going to her mother's grave for the first time. It started getting dark making Chihiro scared and she stopped walking around and saw at that same exact moment, a glow in the distant. Chihiro knew that seeing a glow in the distant could mean something bad or good but she walked towards the light hoping it would be a light of a car, but it ended up being a golden bracelet. Chihiro picked it up wondering why it was giving off a lot of light when a cat-like fairy walked out from behind a tree. The cat shocked Chihiro when it started talking. The cat introduced it's self as Lolly and that she needed Chihiro's help. Chihiro was too shocked for words that she fell to her knees and pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. After realising it wasn't a dream, Chihiro accepted her mission but as she was asking what she had to do, a loud crash came from 1km away. Lolly told Chihiro that a monster was in Bunka Town and that Chihiro must go there inmmediately. Chihiro got to the towm just in time to see a giant monster bring it's hand down and smash a tree down. Chihiro then felt a strange power from herself and the bracelet and became a Pretty Cure. Together with Lolly, Chihiro transformed into Cure Sweet and defeated the Jihen. Now Lolly and Chihiro have to find the other Cures and their partners, to rescue Culture World and defeat Saigai.
