Ikuhara Takeya is a high school student living a normal life. He is not interested in the commotion around a UFO filled with beautiful alien females that crashed on earth a year ago. The aliens, known as DearS, are deciding to take permanent residence on earth. What no one knows is that these aliens are a slave species whose sole purpose is to serve and please their masters. One day, Takeya spots a person shivering behind some bushes. This person, Ren, is one of the DearS, and after being saved by Takeya she chooses him as her master. Takeya, who doesn't know about the master-slave relationship of DearS, tries to teach Ren the normal lifestyle of the people on earth, though he constantly fears that Ren is an evil alien who's trying to brainwash him. Ren, however, isn't like other DearS. She is in fact malfunctioning and is being tracked down by their leader. Meanwhile, Takeya begins to learn more about DearS, and a mythical DearS relationship called “Gift” begins to develop between them.

Where it came from
DearS was produced by the studio Daume and released in 2004, capturing the mid-2000s trend of combining science fiction elements with the romantic comedy genre. The series follows the arrival of an alien spacecraft in Tokyo Bay, where the inhabitants, known as DearS, are integrated into Japanese society. The premise was designed to explore themes of cultural assimilation and human-alien interaction through a lighthearted, episodic lens, characteristic of the era's focus on character-driven narratives.
The series was adapted from the manga created by the duo Peach-Pit, who were well-regarded for their distinctive character aesthetics and intricate costume designs. In the transition from print to television, the animation aimed to replicate the whimsical and stylized nature of the source material. Upon its release, the anime received a mixed reception, with viewers largely divided between those drawn to the aesthetic charm and comedic tone and those who found the plot execution to be less cohesive than the original manga.
