Plot

[edit | edit source]

Sakurako is a university student living in the Tokyo metropolitan area. One day, Mūmū, a cat-like alien, appears before her. Mūmū comes from an alien race that was previously technologically advanced, but lost this knowledge. Finding interest in household appliances, Mūmū, along with other aliens, asks Sakurako and others for help in studying Earthly appliances to regain that knowledge.
