Information: An old bottle has found it's way to a modern family. A Genie and his daughter, Akubi reside inside the bottle. It is owned by a child named Kan. What he is unaware of when he finds the bottle is that whenever anyone sneezes, the Genie is borught out and must grant the wishes of whoever sneezed. Whenever anyone yawns, his daughter must do likewise. Getting these wishes granted may not be a good thing though, the Genie is extremely clumsy and usually bungles whatever wish he grants. Akubi is mischievous and likes to twist the words of anyone's wishes so that something bad usually comes of it. All of this results in hilarious adventures for the poor family who owns the bottle!
