Adam’s Sweet Agony

Adam’s Sweet Agony (original title: Modaete yo, Adam-kun) is a Japanese anime TV mini-series released between late 2023 and early 2024. It is based on a manga by Toyo and produced by studios including Studio Hokiboshi and Suiseisha.

The series falls into the adult anime (ecchi/harem) genre, combining romance, fantasy, and sci-fi elements. It gained attention for its provocative premise and short-format storytelling, typical of AnimeFesta-style productions.

Adam’s Sweet Agony Plot Summary

The story is set in a world where a mysterious pandemic has rendered nearly all men impotent. However, one high school student Itsuki (also referred to as Kazuki in some versions) is the only known exception.

To protect this secret, he transfers to a special high school that is composed of around 90% female students. There, he becomes the “Adam” among countless “Eves,” attracting attention from various girls with different personalities and intentions.

As he navigates school life, relationships, and the pressure of hiding his identity, the story blends romantic tension with exaggerated, adult-themed scenarios. The narrative focuses on how his unique condition affects both his personal life and the people around him.
