## Synopsis

Naota is twelve, permanently unimpressed, and stuck in a town where nothing ever happens — until a wild pink-haired woman on a Vespa runs him over, smacks him with a bass guitar, and moves into his house. Haruko claims to be an alien; whatever she is, her arrival cracks Naota's world open. Robots start erupting from his forehead, a shadowy corporation looms over the town, and every episode escalates the visual madness. Underneath the chaos is a disarmingly honest story about growing up — about swinging the bat, saying the thing, and letting go of who you were.
