OVA
Description
Ika Musume, a human-squid hybrid from the ocean depths, surfaces intending to invade humanity as punishment for marine pollution. She attempts to establish the Lemon Beach House restaurant as her base, but accidentally damages it, forcing her into indentured servitude as a waitress. This binds her to the Aizawa siblings who run the establishment.
Her appearance features blue cephalopod tentacles resembling hair, light blue eyes, and a vital white, squid-shaped "hat" fused to her scalp. She wears a self-repairing, stain-resistant white sleeveless dress with light blue accents, thick circular bracelets enabling dramatic weight manipulation (0.0005kg to 20,000kg), and white shoes with blue soles, avoiding tanning.
Initially overconfident and naive about surface life, she frequently appends "de geso" to her sentences. She exhibits childlike traits, including paralyzing terror of sharks and orcas, reacting even to inflatable floats. She possesses an intense craving for shrimp and identifies fellow squid beings by their head mantles, sometimes mistaking paper hats for kin. Despite her invasion mission, she develops bonds with humans, revealing a lonely oceanic past dominated by survival.
Her abilities include manipulating ten prehensile tentacles for combat, multitasking, or carrying objects; regenerating severed tentacles; spewing high-quality cooking ink; emitting bioluminescent light; and breathing underwater. Prolonged time ashore weakens these powers, though they restore under duress like facing fears or emotional crises. She rapidly learns languages like English and solves advanced mathematics, though her methods confuse humans.
Key relationships define her:
- With the Aizawas: Chizuru acts as a maternal yet feared figure; Eiko evolves from supervisor to close friend and volleyball partner; Takeru treats her as an older sibling.
- Sanae Nagatsuki harbors an obsessive, unrequited crush, often provoking defensive ink sprays or tentacle strikes.
- Nagisa Saitō uniquely fears her invasion rhetoric.
- Gorō Arashiyama serves as a rival, clashing over ocean protection methods.
Her arc concludes in the manga: after repaying her debt, she deliberately damages the beach house again to extend her stay, demonstrating attachment to the Aizawas. Chizuru welcomes her back, solidifying her transition from invader to family member and abandonment of world conquest for coexistence.
