synopsis

Barely eking out a living, Mayuko struggles with various part-time jobs to make ends meet. However, things would be a lot easier if she didn't have a free-loading alien mooching off her earnings all the time. NieA, very much a "my-pace" antenna-less alien does little save make junk UFOs, sleep and eat all day long. In fact she'd eat more if Mayuko had more money to buy food.

One day, on the way home, Mayuko finds a shop offering a special limited time offer for pork meat at the butcher next to her bus stop. 100 grams of meat for 95 yen! And so, the adventure begins with the battle over who gets to eat meat, NieA who collected some greens, or Mayuko who found the sale in the first place...
