On the surface, Umaru Doma appears to be the perfect high-school girl—cute, refined, and well-behaved. At home, she sheds that facade and becomes a lazy, gamer-loving otaku who devours junk food and anime, much to her older brother Taihei's exasperation. The show follows their everyday misadventures and Umaru's cute rivalries with friends like Ebina and Kirie, in a light, playful slice-of-life that parodies otaku culture.
