About Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!

Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! (這いよれ！ニャル子さん) arrives as a comedy anime by Xebec (2012), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: "I'm Nyarlathotep, the creeping chaos always smiling beside you. But you can call her Nyaruko for short.

Along the way, one by one, the Great Ones from the Cthulhu mythos are coming to earth to target Nyaruko and her human friend Mahiro. He's utterly clueless about the true nature of his cosmic conflict and just wants to live in peace.
