NieA_7
On WOWOW Prime
A whimsical, low-stakes slice-of-life comedy about poverty and friendship between a struggling student and her alien roommate, grounded in warmth and absurdist humour despite existential undertones.
Mayuko Chigasaki is an ordinary girl from the countryside, who now is attending university in big city Tokyo. She struggles each day to make ends meet while studying for her exams, barely scraping up the yen to afford bus fare to and from school. And at the end of the day, she comes home to a gluttonous, freeloading alien living in her closet!
