The show takes place in a small seaside town called Lemon Beach where Squid Girl runs into the Aizawa family, who runs a beach house restaurant. The family takes Squid Girl in and attempts to help her acclimate to life on land.

The town of Lemon Beach is also home to a number of other quirky characters, including a scientist who is obsessed with studying Squid Girl and a trio of beach-loving thugs.

The animation style is bright and colorful, with a wide range of facial expressions and movements that add to the comedic impact of each scene. The art and animation in the show are well done, with lively character designs and a variety of imaginative settings.
