In the middle of summer, a Japanese beach café is intruded upon by a visitor from the sea. Calling herself Squid Girl, the pintsized invader announces her intent to conquer the surface world for the damage mankind has caused to the oceans. Luckily for humanity, the would be overlord is none too bright, and it doesn’t take long before the café’s owners have fooled her into using her aquatic abilities to help with the workload. So begins a most unconventional invasion.
