The first thing a highly intelligent life-form from the planet Pika Pika does upon arriving on Earth is disguise itself as a perfectly ordinary human and fit into the local environment!
Put on glasses that make you look unremarkable, turn off your floating star effects, and make up a tragic backstory. That's all it takes to blend into human society.
Once you've found a comfortable place to live, your second task is to find a "pet" you like, form a keeper-pet bond, and write an observation journal. This is a required graduation project for every Pika Pika native who wants to become independent.
There are many creatures on Earth besides humans, but common pets like cats and dogs aren't to your taste, so you turn your attention to humans.
"May I study you?"
"Huh? Don't make such a creepy request in such a sincere tone!"
The unfortunate kid next door, whom you won't leave alone, "volunteers" to agree to the keeper-pet arrangement. Your project, titled The Good-for-Nothing Boy Development Plan, officially begins.
Spend time together, observe, and take notes.
You thought the project would go smoothly, until one day a bullet came flying toward your pet.
"No! My project!"
The bad news: at the time, all you care about is saving your project, and you have no idea that in the not-too-distant future, your seemingly ordinary human pet will rebel and overthrow it!
The good news: even if you only have one project, you can keep lots of humans!
[Things to know before reading]
- This story is told in the second person.
- Multiple endings, each with one-on-one pairings. The main plot focuses on the 27 crew before junior high.
- Lighthearted.
- The Pika Pika (sparkling) natives are named for their looks, which are a little Mary Sue-ish. Their defining trait is "beauty." They have an invincible buff but no special combat abilities.
- They're called keeper-pet relationships, but no one considers them such, so it's still a normal interpersonal relationship.
