The anime "Rokudou no Onna-tachi" scheduled to air from April 2023 is a work with an unusual setting in which the protagonist, who was bullied, somehow acquires a technique that makes him popular only with bad girls, and ends up getting involved with extremely strong bad girls and delinquents. The story itself is a rare classic, and this time I would like to introduce the protagonist of this work, Momosuke Rokudou!
The protagonist at rock bottom, Momosuke Rokudou and his friends
The protagonist, high school student Momosuke Rokudou, was bullied by delinquents at school. Luckily, he had friends, and although they were also targets of bullying, they huddled together and somehow managed to attend school despite their complaints. The Asen High School they attended was a terrible school filled with delinquents, but due to their low academic ability, there were only a few schools they could attend. It was a school that felt like the end of the century, with not only delinquents but also many bad girls and only a handful of decent students.
Will Rokudo Momosuke's powers be awakened by his grandfather's scroll?
One day, Momosuke reads a mysterious scroll sent to him by his grandfather, who was supposed to be dead, and a star-shaped pattern appears on his forehead. He awakens to a mysterious power. The power is the ability to make women popular! It is the power of dreams that Momosuke wants but cannot obtain in his desperate circumstances. However, there is one problem with the power. It is an ability that has no effect on decent girls, and only makes him popular with bad girls. The power is absolute and works on any woman, without exception, as long as the other person is a bad girl.
What is the origin of the technique?
The origin of this technique is a scroll in which an onmyoji from Heian-kyo defeated a monster from the demon world and the onmyoji's onmyoji magic was written, and the onmyoji magic was said to be loved by any evil woman. It is unclear whether evil women were strong in the Heian period or whether they had some kind of demon under their control, but this magic was so strong that no evil woman could resist it, and even Himawari Ranna, who was born evil and had no interest in anything other than violence, was turned into a maiden. In the story, an item called Gurenmurin appears, which suppresses evil thoughts, but while Ranna loses all emotions when wearing Gurenmurin, Momosuke's technique is so powerful that it awakens even Ranna's human heart.
Peace lost after becoming popular with bad girls
The technique of being popular with bad girls is not a power that Momosuke can control himself, and he becomes popular with bad girls, Tsubaki, the girlfriend of Haruya Iinuma, a bad boy who bullied Momosuke, and Himawari Ranna, the strongest and worst bad girl, and as a result, he is noticed by the bad boys, and his relatively peaceful daily life, which is depressing, is lost. At one point, he thinks of using Ranna, who is the strongest being, to bring back a peaceful daily life.
If Momosuke doesn't show his manliness, he's no longer a man
For Momosuke, delinquents were "beings who like to use the word manliness, but who have no manliness at all, and who deceive and torture the weak." However, when he saw Ranna following his orders and not fighting back even when she challenged him to a fight or beat him up, Momosuke felt ashamed of himself for trying to use Ranna, and came to think that he was the one who had to show his manliness. Even after that, Momosuke never abused his "ability to be popular with bad girls."
Everyday life begins to change after he shows his manliness!
Momosuke recklessly challenges Haruya Iijima, a delinquent who bullies him, to a one-on-one fight. Naturally, he is beaten to a pulp, and in the end, even though he had no intention of being helped, he begs Ranna for help, and it ends in a pathetic ending where Ranna defeats Iinuma. However, even though Momosuke is beaten to a pulp, he doesn't give up until the end. Iinuma, a bully, hates more than anything the weak who don't resist no matter what is done to them, and he recognizes Momosuke's ability to never fall, even to opponents who are clearly superior to him. Rather than bullying him, he becomes a close friend who he can rely on on par with the colonel and the section chief. And by fighting instead of running away, Momosuke himself also changes.
One problem is solved, but another one comes along. Momosuke is caught up in all sorts of bad guys.
Momosuke's magic changed the situation, but after that, he is targeted by the school leader, a biker gang, delinquents from other schools, and the strongest forces in the city. Just like in a shounen manga, trouble comes one after another. However, each time he makes more friends, and Momosuke himself becomes stronger.
Momosuke's first love was the worst love...
Momosuke hated delinquents, and one of the reasons for this was his first love. Momosuke's first love was a pure and gentle girl named Miyu, who kindly spoke to him when he was being bullied in elementary school. That doesn't mean there was any progress with Miyu, but it was a good memory that never faded for Momosuke. However, a few years later, Miyu dated a delinquent boyfriend and transformed into a jet-black, flashy gal! Miyu, who changed both his body and mind, destroyed Momosuke's brain and left him with a wound that will never fade. Miyu-chan doesn't appear after that, but her boyfriend does.
Momosuke becomes physically stronger
The group, worried that Ranna might go out of control if Momosuke's magic is released, visits Kakejiku-sensei, who uses Onmyoujutsu, to procure the item "Gurenmurin" that calms evil thoughts. There, they meet Suzuran, a girl who uses kung fu. There, Momosuke realizes that he can't rely solely on the power of magic, and that he must become stronger himself in order to rehabilitate Ranna, so he learns kung fu from her, despite some trouble. After rigorous training, he acquires the ability to fight to a certain extent.
