Description: Photon: The Idiot Adventures
Zaniness prevails in this parody. Keyne is a universe-trotting girl forced to crash-land on a desert planet. When she crashes, the ship drops a thing called the holy object. Years later, the holy object is a thing of worship at the nearby village. Aun is hot for a j-popish star named Laman. She steals the holy object to give to him. Trying to stop her is Photon. When he does, she's not very happy about it.
Photon has an unhealthy fixation with a box that Aun's mother gave him. He sleeps in it every night. In trying to stop Aun, Photon discovers the crash site of Keyne. After drawing "baka" in hirigana on Keyne's forehead, she wakes up. This leads Keyne to believe she's Photon's future bride, since he has the same mark.
Papacha is the downright evil guy. He wants to marry Princess Leshara, but the rediscovery of Keyne makes this impossible. The holy object is, of course, a magic marker. Everyone in the cast is pretty much an idiot. Things only get weirder from here. Keyene and the count are after a vast source of power known as the aho generator. (Aho, of course, is the Japanese word for "mentally retarted.") Can Photon help Keyene stop the count from getting his hands on the generator in time?
