Haiyoru! Nyaruani

Synopsis

These Flash-animated shorts are adapted from the light novel series "Haiyore! Nyaruko-san." In them, Nyarlko—a female anthropomorphized incarnation of Nyarlathotep from the Cthulhu Mythos—frequently gets scolded by Mahiro, an ordinary human boy, for her many absurd or reckless antics. One short shows Nyarlko sketching a cover design for a body pillow. The pillow's subject turns out to be a half-clothed Mahiro locked in what looks like a steamy, intimate pose with Nyarlko. Unsurprisingly, Mahiro responds by stabbing Nyarlko's hand with a fork and threatening to kill her if she ever publishes that design. Other shorts focus on various comedic gags and sometimes include Cthuko, a female anthropomorphized version of Cthugha, who is hopelessly infatuated with Nyarlko.
