SynopsisNaota is a normal Japanese 6th grade boy (although a little cynical), but when his older brother leaves for America to play baseball, his brother leaves his homeless 17 year old girlfriend Mamimi behind. Mamimi is sending mixed signals and advances to Naota, and he doesn't know what to do about her. But to make matters worse, Naota's world is totally turned upside down when he is run over by a woman on a Vespa. During their first encounter, she hits him over the head with her bass guitar, which then causes a horn to grow out of his forehead. She calls herself "Haruko" and her presence changes Naota's life to even further insanity.

Characters
Haruko "Vespa" Haruhara
is Mabase's newest resident, an extraterrestrial investigator for the Galactic Space Patrol Brotherhood. She becomes the Nandaba household maid while working to find Atomsk, the most powerful space pirate in the galaxy. Her guitar is most closely related to a Rickenbacker bass Model 4003; she uses it to create an N.O. portal in Naota's head and once on Amarao in the episode Brittle Bullet, through which comes several Medical Mechanica robots.
Naota "Takkun" Nandaba
is the protagonist of the series, obsessed with appearing mature and attempts to act nonchalant. He idolizes his older brother Tasuku, who represents for Naota what it means to be an "adult". Tasuku lives in the United States and plays professional baseball -- he is never shown in the anime, except for in a flashback (however only his silhouette is shown) and a picture in which Tasuku is holding his "American girlfriend".
Mamimi Samejima
is a high school truant. She is lonely and depressed, adopting several pets and naming them all "Takkun" as a replacement for Naota's brother, and develops arsonistic tendencies. She thinks of Naota as a replacement for Tasuku, befriending him, but later grows disinterested when Naota begins to show independence.
