Synopsis: Saving the world ... fishing?

Yuki Sanada always felt like a fish out of water. Socially clumsy and anxious, he struggles to fit into the environment and move from city to city with his grandmother. While he and his grandmother settle in the charming coastal city of Enoshima, Yuki expects a new beginning. However, his reputation at school is compromised by the arrival of the Haru transfer colleague. The eccentric Haru immediately comes down, claiming to be an alien and declaring that Yuki is his friend. Pairing the reluctant Yuki with his classmate and fishing talent, Natsuki Usami, he takes over both with the absurd mission of saving the world from an mysterious threat in the ocean. Evils and hijinks follow, as these three embark on a capricious adventure full of laughs, heart and self -discovery!
