Otoko Oidon

男おいどん

In 1970s Tokyo, Nobotta Ooyama lives as a rōnin in a tiny apartment in Bunkyo-ku, Hongo, after failing his college entrance exams. Struggling with poverty and loneliness, he works part-time jobs and attends night school, but his arrogant and messy behavior often leads to trouble, earning him the nickname "beast." Despite his rough exterior, Nobotta has a kind heart and maintains relationships with several women.

His already difficult life takes a turn when Reiko Nishio moves into the apartment across the hall. Nobotta finds himself drawn to her, but his constant failures—losing jobs, dropping out of school, and facing heartbreak—threaten to derail his chances. As he navigates the daily inconveniences of his impoverished existence, he must confront his own flaws and the loneliness that haunts him.
