Nichijou is largely concerned with the everyday shenanigans of a group of childhood friends—high school students Mio Naganohara, Yuuko Aioi, and Mai Minakami—whose lives gradually intersect with the young prodigy Hakase Shinonome, her robot guardian Nano, and their talking cat Sakamoto. Every day, the lives of these six and the many others around them experience both the soothes of regular existence and the lunacy of the ludicrous. Walking to school, being bitten by a talking crow, hanging out with pals, and witnessing the principal suplex a deer are all part of the remarkable daily lives of folks in Nichijou.
