Meet Naota Nandaba, an average sixth grader residing in a lackluster city where excitement remains an elusive concept. Just as life seems predictable, Naota's brother, Tasuku, jets off to America to pursue his baseball dreams, leaving behind a trail of responsibilities for Naota to shoulder. Among them is the peculiar task of attending to Tasuku's ex-girlfriend, Mamimi Samejima, who clings to Naota with unwavering persistence. Unbeknownst to Naota, his humdrum existence teeters on the brink of radical transformation. Enter Haruko Haruhara, a vibrant and audacious woman who zips through the streets on her Vespa, brandishing an imposing bass guitar with her vibrant pink hair flowing. Their initial encounter leaves Naota flattened, adorned with tire imprints on his back and a peculiar horn sprouting forth from his skull. Yearning for tranquility amidst the chaos, Naota finds himself thrust into a thrilling escapade as Haruko takes up residence at his parents' home. Little does he know that he holds a pivotal role in the greatest cosmic battle for dominance, unfolding not just on Earth but quite conceivably throughout the entire universe. Brace yourself as Naota's world evolves into a battleground of epic proportions.
