Anime Summary / Synopsis:
One morning, Sunao Moriyama wakes up to find a strange but cute creature in his fridge. Because he was eating a potato and mayonnaise croquette at the time, he decides to name the creature Potemayo. Sunao brings Potemayo to school with him, and she becomes an instant hit with his entire class. She is especially popular with the girls, but seems to be hostile with one of them, Mikan Natsu. Potemayo is protective of Sunao and sees Mikan as an enemy because she is in love with him. However, this doesn’t stop Potemayo from taking and eating all the food Mikan makes.

Soon, another creature similar to Potemayo also appears. But it carries a scythe and doesn’t appear to be as good natured as Potemayo. When people from the class first discover it, it blasts everyone with energy beams. One of Sunao’s classmates, Kyou Takamimori, names it Guchuko. Although Guchuko isn’t affectionate, she forms a bond with Kyou becomes she always feeds her delicious treats. At the end of the day though, no one really knows what Potemayo and Guchuko really are. But then again, who cares because they’re cute and funny.
