Takeya Ikuhara is an ill-tempered, pragmatic high school student who harbors a deep distrust of the alien visitors and wants nothing to do with them. His life turns completely upside down when he stumbles upon a lost DearS girl wrapped only in a blanket. After taking her in, she fixes her gaze on him, pledges her absolute loyalty, and names herself \"Ren.\" Unbeknownst to Takeya, Ren is a zero-numbered unit whose innate purpose is to serve a master—and she has chosen him, thrusting the reluctant teen into a chaotic living situation filled with alien fan culture, school drama, and shadowy handlers who want Ren back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eBased on the popular manga series created by PEACH-PIT (\u003cem\u003eRozen Maiden\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eShugo Chara!\u003c\/em\u003e) and produced by Studio Bandai Visual \/ Hal Film Maker (\u003cem\u003ePrincess Tutu\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAria the Animation\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003cem\u003eDearS\u003c\/em\u003e is a classic early-2000s sci-fi romantic comedy.
