Pecketts (main character)

Even though I have many incredibly useful items that are beyond human comprehension, I’m too stupid to use them properly. Because he doesn’t know anything about Earth, he often causes problems and gets involved in incidents.
Rui Nikaido

A very ordinary middle school boy living on Earth. He is studious and knowledgeable, so even though he teaches Pecketts about the earth, he is always treated badly by Pecketts. In order to prevent the Pecketts from dominating the Earth and monitor them, the Pecketts are staying there.
Goonji Hayato

A boy who goes to the same middle school as Louis. Anyway, my main goal is to be popular with girls, and I live to be popular with girls. Although he is good at sports and has a good appearance, he has a so-called unfortunate character and is not popular. He often ends up in trouble by misusing Peckett’s useful items.
