Synopsis
Naota Nandaba leads a thoroughly mundane life in a sleepy town where nothing ever happens. Since his older brother Tasuku moved to America to pursue his baseball dreams, Naota has assumed all of Tasuku's former responsibilities, including sleeping in his old bunk bed and dealing with his ex-girlfriend, Mamimi Samejima, who continues to visit frequently. However, Naota's boring existence is completely upended by the arrival of Haruko Haruhara. This eccentric pink-haired girl, who rides a Vespa and plays bass guitar, crashes into Naota's life, leaving tire marks on his back and causing a giant horn to sprout from his head during their initial encounter. Although Naota simply wishes for peace, Haruko's presence at his home triggers a series of events that thrust him into the center of an epic battle for control that could alter everything, not just on Earth, but potentially across the entire universe.
