Line 9:
When pre-teen paranormalist Fuyuki Hinata (age 12) and his tomboyish sister Natsumi (age 13 in the anime, 14 in the manga) discover an alien in Fuyuki's bedroom, it's just the beginning of their troubles. This alien, Sergeant Keroro, is the leader of a recon team for an alien invasion from Keron, "the 58th Planet of the Gamma Nebula". But once his superiors realize he's been found out, they abort the mission and leave him and his crew behind. With no one else to turn to, Keroro ends up staying at the Hinata house with Fuyuki, Natsumi, and their [[Hot Mom]] Aki, living as something between a servant and a pet.
Of course, Keroro is still an invader, and still plotting the downfall of "Pekopon" (his species' name for Earth in the anime -- [[wikipedia:Sgt. Frog#Notable differences between the anime and manga|Pokopen in manga]])... when he's not doing chores for the Hinata family, or being distracted by such aspects of Earth culture as ''[[Gundam]]'' model kits and the Internet. Before long, Keroro manages to reunite with his squad-mates: hot-headed rookie/Keroro fanboy Private Tamama, hard-boiled combat specialist Corporal Giroro, smarmy intelligence officer Sergeant Major Kururu/[[Spell My Name with an "S"|Kululu]], [[My Friends and Zoidberg|and Lance Corporal Dororo]]. With this eclectic crew, Keroro attempts to conquer the planet through one [[Zany Scheme|convoluted scheme]] after another, though sometimes he feels torn between his mission and his obligation to the Hinata family... but not that often.
Surprisingly, for a series that's not meant to be taken seriously, often has [[No Fourth Wall]], and is frequently brimming with pop-culture references, it has a lot of heart (which may be why they got [[Junichi Sato]] to direct the anime). Though it stops far short of being sappy, there are many heartwarming moments sprinkled in that sometimes constitute [[Tear Jerker]] material. It's still firmly in the comedy genre, though, and hence, occasionally brings these scenes to an abrupt halt with a quick joke.
Rounding out the cast is an assortment of eccentric humanoids, including Momoka Nishizawa, bi-polar scion of a multi-billion-dollar international corporation who hangs out with Tamama and has a serious crush on Fuyuki; Mutsumi Saburo, a smooth talking poet/artist/radio show host who hangs out with Kululu; Koyuki Azumaya, [[New Transfer Student]] and [[Ninja]] girl who hangs out with Dororo and is a [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|rather close]] friend of Natsumi; and Angol Moa/Mois, a ditzy alien girl who has a crush on Keroro and the power to destroy an entire city block with literally a fraction of her power ([[Calling Your Attacks|"Armageddon One Ten-Millionth!"]]).
