Yoshifumi Nitta is a young yakuza enjoying a comfortable home and his collection of expensive vases when a strange capsule drops a girl into his life. Hina has powerful telekinesis and very little interest in making herself an easy guest. Nitta’s attempts to cope turn an unwanted arrangement into a daily responsibility.

Other people find themselves carrying equally unsuitable responsibilities. Hina’s classmate Hitomi looks after her at school and ends up working as a bartender at night, with adults coming to rely on the capable girl. The comedy gives practical competence a cost: being the person who can solve a problem makes it harder to avoid the next one.

An inexplicable arrival gives Nitta an ongoing domestic responsibility. (C)2018 大武政夫・KADOKAWA刊/ヒナまつり製作委員会

The oval capsule on Nitta’s floor is an intrusion into a home he had arranged around his own comfort. Hina’s face peers out while he confronts something no ordinary household routine can explain. Once she stays, the spectacular ability to move objects has to coexist with the much less spectacular work of looking after another person, which keeps falling back on him.
