The premise of the popular anime and manga revolves around Taihei Doma and his baby sister, Umaru, who is exceptional in both sports and academics. Despite her perfectionist nature, she has a certain secret. Umaru is actually a Himōto, which is a play on words for “imōto” (little sister) and “himono,” which means “dried fish,”. This is colloquial slang for a young girl who is proper in public but very lazy at home.
The story follows the misadventures between the two and their own unique world.
