Sum it up in a Sentence:
A squid girl wants to conquer humanity by starting with a beach in Japan.
Main Description
Ika Musume (aka Squid Girl) comes from the sea to seek revenge on the damage humanity is causing to her precious home, the ocean. She wishes to do so by forcing humanity to bow to her, but is ironically taken under the employ of the Lemon beach house refreshment stand after tearing a hole in the wall and works to pay it off.
Most of the series is composed of Ika Musume's antics due to her lack of knowledge of land-based life and her failed attempts to conquer those around. She comes to live with the family that runs the Lemon beach house: Eiko, the red-haired girl who is most annoyed of Ika Musume's schemes, Chizuru, the blue-haired elder sister cook, and Takeru, the friendly younger brother. They also eventually meet others who frequent the beach like Gorou the lifeguard, Sanae who has an obssessive crush on Ika Musume, a team of American researchers, and people from the rival beach house called The Southern Winds.
A second season has been announced for summer 2011...de geso.

Good ol' fun. They never take anything seriously unless it's something disgustingly sweet (goddamn Mini-Ika). Very easy to watch and well worth a try since it's half season sized and you never have to be "into" it. Best of all, no (intended) fanservice for a series that takes place on a beach! --Willsun 08:40, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
