Story :
Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future takes place three years after the end of Aurora Dream, and now revolves around new Prism Star unit Prizmmy☆, consisting of Mia Ageha, Reina Miyama, Karin Shijimi, and Ayami Ooruri, and their rivals PURETTY, a unit from Korea that consists of Hye In, Chae Kyoung, So Min, Shi Yoon, and Jae Eun. The anime focuses on the girls becoming proper Prism Show units, and also on them collecting the various pieces of the Symphonia of Awakening dress. However, MARs still deals with many problems in their personal lives, and as such, the show also focuses on them for a large portion of the show.

She has a lively personality, but works very hard and seriously at whatever she does. She's childhood friends with Mia.

So Min (ソミン,)
So Min is 14 year old and seems like a very kind and gentle person, but in fact, she cannot forgive things that are wrong and will never let anything she thinks is right get messed up. She is a study-abroad student from Korea who has a good head on her shoulders. So Min won lots of trophies, seen in Episode 8. She doesn't have a counterpart in Prizmmy☆, but holds a good friendly rivalry with Mia. As a child, So Min love the sea but after drifting too far into the ocean, she became scared of it. With Yunsu's advice, she overcame this fear and continued her Prism Act at the "Pretty Top" Water Festival. So Min has feelings for Yunsu. In a few episodes, So Min is seen crying tears if joy, like in episode 12, where they debuted as Puretty.
Shi Yoon (シウン,)
A very spaced-out and slow-tempo 16 year old girl, Shi Yoon is one of the girls who came abroad from Korea to study the art of Prism Shows at the "Pretty Top" agency in the anime, Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future. She is the all-noticing, thoughtful big sister role of her team. Usually, she is very kind and docile, but she is actually extremely scary when angered. Her best friend in Prizmmy☆ is Karin. She would say "Yeah!!" a few times, like when she first met Karin.
Chae Kyung (チェギョン,)
Chae Kyung is a study-abroad 16 year old student from Korea that has come to Japan and "Pretty Top" to learn the art of Prism Shows in the anime, Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future. Chae Kyung is a refreshing girl who comes from a house with lots of money. She's good at finding diamonds in the rough, but has a problem with thinking she can solve everything with money. She's the kind of girl who thinks she's a celebrity, and pushes her way through. Her catchphrase is "Celebrity!". Her best friend in Prizmmy☆ is Ayami. Most of Puretty's expenses are paid by her and her family. She is Yunsu's little sister. Her mother was a genius actress and wanted to make her proud in being one (she was jealous that her brother impressed her with his designer drawings). However after winning the film audition and having to choose between being an actress and Prism Star, Chae Kyung realized that being a Prism Star makes her really happy and gain caring friends.

,The youngest girl in the study abroad team, Jae Eun is one of the girls who came abroad from Korea to study the art of Prism Shows at the "Pretty Top" agency in the anime, Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future.

She falls in love easily with boys that she thinks is really handsome or has a "Paku-Paku" atmosphere like, Itsuki in Episode 5, an unknown boy in Episode 5, Shō in Episode 20 and Chef Shiotani in Episode 33. She has a habit of saying "Paku-Paku".

Yong Hwa (ヨンファ,)
Yong Hwa is a famous Prism Star Idol that works for the same office as Puretty. He is very popular as a large crowd of women appear whenever his name is said. Yong Hwa first appeared in Episode 22. He is also Chae Kyung's and Yunsu's childhood friend. Yong Hwa can tell what someone loves the most or their object of affection (he calls it Heart Shuffle). It is shown that he knows Reina's crush as he is always teasing her about her feelings for Itsuki, thinking that Reina is very cute.
Itsuki Harune (春音 いつき,)
Itsuki is Aira's 14 year old little brother who usually teases her and the object of Reina's affection. He is younger but looks more mature and not clumsy like his older sister Aira. Itsuki helped her keep the secret about being in the Prism Shows from her dad together with his two younger twin sisters. It looks like he has an interest in doing the family business. Itsuki is studying to be a sports doctor at a young age. Mia pointed out he has no excitement and got him involve with a Prism Surprise Show. Itsuki is actually interested in Prism Shows, despite not watching many of them. He made his Prism Show debut in Episode 15. Itsuki seems to be interested in Reina.
Yunsu (ユンス),
Yunsu is the owner of "Dear Crown", a fashion and Prism Stone store right next to Shō's in Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future. He is not liked at all by Shō, not because he is his rival in business, but because he is his rival in love. Yunsu has great respect for Aira and considers her as his muse or goddess, even presenting her a goddess crown and kissing her on the hand, to which Aira blushes, while Shō retaliates angrily. The clothes he designs are different from Shō's, according to Aira, because they're not cute but sexy and chique. His sister is Chae Kyung and he receives affections from So Min.
Michelle (ミシル)
Michelle is the dance instructor of Puretty and president of "Dear Princess".
In this Part 2 series, there are many characters have appeared, whereas the old characters like the MARS or the Callings appeared very few scenes. However, in the part 2 series, I think it involves more songs and beauty fashions. There is also a dancing of Korean style for the PURETTY group.
The character I like in this anime series is Reina as I think she is sweet and also her costume is cool for me. There are 8 theme songs in this series as 4 for opening and 4 for closing theme. I prefer the closing theme song "Dear My Future ～Mirai no Jibun～".
Anyway, let's take a sneak peek of "Pretty Rhythm : Dear My Future" in below :-
