About this title

Synopsis

After the Third World War, the world descended into chaos and a matriarchy was established in the power vacuum. In Japan, a new female-only government controls the country, forcing the male population to live outside of Chuuouku. Furthermore, the "H Law" is put into motion, which prohibits all weaponry; instead, people must fight battles using devices called "Hypnosis Microphones" that directly affect the opponent's mind through lyrics. A year later, a conflict in Ikebukuro rises between two factions: "Mad Comic Dialogue," lead by gang member Samatoki Aohitsugi, and "Starway to Heaven," of which 17-year-old Ichirou Yamada is a part of. Both of them are bound to confront each other in order to gain more territory in the district. Elsewhere, medical specialist and former assassin Jakurai Jinguji meets the cheerful but mysterious Ramuda Amemura after Ramuda saves him from a rebel attack at the hospital where he works. Impressed by the new musical technology, Jakurai asks Ramuda to teach him how to rap and become a mic-wielder. When the four men join forces by pure chance, they realize they have what it takes to gain control of all divisions in Japan and fight against the unjust system created by Chuuouku. But everything might not go as well as they planned when their enemies are closer than they expected. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

MC Name: easy R Division: Shibuya Birthday: February 14th Solo Song: drops Quote: The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole. Despite his child-like appearance, he's quick-witted and is able to get a total understanding on how others perceive him. He livens up the scene with his innocent appearance, but ends up saying unnecessary things, and his natural airheadedness causes him to misread the atmosphere. By nature, he doesn't really enjoy the company of others, but his cute demeanor allows him to be endearing to all. Regardless of age, he refers to all women as "onee-sans". Although he's popular and charismatic, he doesn't really have any meaningful relationships. He always carries candy with him, and will happily share with anyone who gives him a pat on the head. Ramuda does have a tendency to be sly and manipulative to get what he wants. Despite his carefree and child like behavior, he changes demeanor completely when upset. He suddenly becomes more serious and uses his natural, much deeper voice. He's extremely hostile towards Jakurai Jinguji and both parties blame each other for the downfall of The Dirty Dawg. While Jakurai is able to use his rapping abilities to heal people, Ramuda’s raps are said to cause hallucinations. (Source: HypMic Wiki)
