■ Product Introduction

[Unpredictable story worldview]

The story is set in an ordinary provincial town.
The main character, Naota, is a sixth-year junior high school student who is struggling with the problems that come with adolescence.
One day, while he was living an ordinary life, a mysterious woman named Haruhara Haruko suddenly appeared before him on a Vespa.
Her appearance is truly shocking.
After running Naota over with his Vespa, he hits him over the head with his bass guitar and then starts staying at his house.
She claims to be an alien and without any warning draws Naota into a secret plan of a huge corporation.
Even more bizarrely, when Naota experiences certain emotions, a giant robot will pop out of his head.
An unpredictable story unfolds around this mysterious phenomenon.
