Haiyore! Nyaruko-San - Ep01

Characters

Nyaruko – She is a nyarlathotep, like the one from H.P. Lovecraft stories. Although the interesting thing is she tells Mahiro she is part of the planetary defense force. However if her true nature is like the ones from Lovecraft's stories, than all of this is a lie and anythings she says can't be taken too seriously.

Mahiro – Is a 17 year-old boy that is currently living alone because his parents are away on their 17^th honeymoon to celebrate their 17^th anniversary. However his life got extremely complicate from the moment that Nyaruko save his life, and start to live with him.

Yoichi – Is Friends with Mahiro, and is very kind. Although he has yet to learn of the insanity that is surrounding his friend. Currently there just isn't enough information to make any real conclusion on his character.

Kurei – Appears to be another one of Mahiro friends, although he regards her as an annoyance by giving her the nickname “The Walking Speaker”. However it is difficult to say what sort of impact she will have on the story, since we have really only been introduce to her character.

Summary

The interesting thing about this series is that it is based on the mythical world that H.P. Lovecraft created, where all the creatures that appeared in his stories were in reality aliens. The series gets started with Mahiro getting chased down by some monster, and the very moment that he asks for someone to save him. Nyaruko appears and kills it. This leads us to the next morning where he is having breakfast with his savior, although it appears that she has no intent in answering any of his questions until he tries to stab her with a fork. This leads to her explaining that all of the things that Lovecraft wrote about are real it just that they are aliens rather than gods. The her purpose of being here is to protect the earth as part of the Planetary Defense Force, and the creature that he encountered last night is part of want to sell him as part of their slave trade. That she is assigned to protect him.

Although Later as she take Mahiro out with her to shop, she ends up explaining the reason the Planetary Defense Force is so interested in the earth. It turns out that our planet makes some of the best entertainment in the entire universe, that anything that posses a threat to that is view as a serious threat. Although it seems that a very limit amount manages to get off planet so this is where you get criminal organization trying to do things illegally. Then that ends up getting the Planetary Defense Force involved this is part of the reason that Nyaruko begged her superior for this job, the other reason appears to be that she fell in love with Mahiro when she found out that he was the person that she was to protect. Although Mahiro is finding it hard to believe her with how violently she is dealing with her enemies.

Then following day Mahiro has go back to school, and ask Nyaruko if he will be alright since he is going to be away from her. Although Nyaruko makes seem like it be alright in an half-ass-ed manner. The reason for this become clear when she later appears as a transfer student. Later in PE when Yoichi ask if everything is alright because he is looking troubled, but before he can answer someone named Kurei intrudes upon the conversation. Her reason is she wants to interview him on how he feel about the new transfer student, also considering since she is living with him. Then with the unclear manner that he response in leads her to believe that he is may fall in love with Nyaruko, all though this question seems to just be a front to ask this question.

After they have returned to class, he wakes Nyaruko up because he notice another one of the monsters/aliens flying around outside. This leads to Nyaruko making some poor excuse to get out of class and dragging Mahiro along for the ride. Then when she see that it is the same type as before, she doesn't want to fight it because she gotten tired of them. This means that she is going to have her pet fight it, however even-though it looks impressive. In true it appears that it is hopelessly weak with 99 loses and 1 draw. This ends up with Nyaruko having to fight anyways, but it is getting hard to believe what she says is true because it looks more like she belongs with the criminal organization than with the Planetary Defense Force. This brings up the question even-though she is capable of protecting him, can the same be said for his sanity. The reason for this is that the nyarlathotep or “crawling chaos” created by Lovecraft is known for being more interested in causing insanity than destroying the world. Although what this implication will mean for the series can't really be said, however it might be that she is a greater threat to him than what she is suppose to be protecting him from.
