Kana Koumoto drifts through the familiar routines of a quiet Japanese town with her friends, where days blur together and nothing ever seems poised to change. Between school, hanging out, painting her nails, and listening to music, she can’t shake the feeling that life is stuck on repeat.

Hoping to break the monotony, the group builds a bottle rocket meant to reach space—whether it actually can or not. The moment it’s finally finished, a robot crashes down and wrecks their project, and soon after a pink-haired woman appears, introducing herself as a “Galactic Investigator.” From there, Kana is pulled into a sudden rush of strange encounters and shifting relationships, as new emotions, changing friendships, and boy troubles collide with the worst-timed arrival of bizarre robots.
