Status: Releasing
Genres: Comedy , Slice of Life

Nichijou primarily focuses on the daily antics of a trio of childhood friends—high school girls Mio Naganohara, Yuuko Aioi and Mai Minakami—whose stories soon intertwine with the young genius Hakase Shinonome, her robot caretaker Nano, and their talking cat Sakamoto. With every passing day, the lives of these six, as well as of the many people around them, experience both the calms of normal life and the insanity of the absurd. Walking to school, being bitten by a talking crow, spending time with friends, and watching the principal suplex a deer: they are all in a day's work in the extraordinary everyday lives of those in Nichijou.

This is a story that takes place in a certain prefecture in the north. In contrast to the few daylight hours it gets, its people are cheerful if a bit eccentric. Among them is Akita, a horned girl. A naturally argumentative and positive child, she lives happily every day. Spicing up her life is Asahi, her slightly odd childhood friend, and Komachi, a city girl who isn't quite used to life in the prefecture yet. There's also Akita's elder sister, a member of the Girl Scouts... Wait, what's her name, again?
