Maradora! (まらドラ!) is a TV AniMe that aired on 6 stations of the TV Shin Nippori series. It's based on the work by Musuko Takemiya.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Based on a light novel by Shin Nippori Publishing and Dengeki Bunko.
A muscular comedy that depicts the troubled sexual lives of both men, including love affairs with straight men and the relationship between brothers and sisters, each with their own problems♂.
The ED became a hot topic when WakamaraP, a man known for his skills and security, was in the production.
It was also much talked about as a work that pioneered the new genre of "muscom", which combines the genres of "muscular" and "love (homosexual) comedy".
The line in the third episode of the show, "I'll dig ya~, dig ya guts~" was so popular that it was used as MAD material on a video sharing site.
Story[edit | edit source]
Herrington Takasu, who's worried about being seen as gay despite his bi status, advances to the second year of high school and is placed in the same class as Gosaku Kushieda, whom he's always had a crush on. On the other hand, the misconception that "Herrington is a non-fake homosexual", which is prevalent among his new classgaytes, is never going to go away, and he feels sloppy, but an encounter with Taiga Kaimen, a.k.a. "Hand Job Tiger", soon clears that misconception up surprisingly.
One day after school, Taiga tries to send a muscle letter to his lover Osaku Kitamara, but he accidentally inserts it into Herrington's stenosis. Thinking that he knows he sent a muscle letter, Taiga challenges Herrington to a Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling match.
That night's entanglement leads to a hustle and bustle that makes Herrington's house an sex life place, and the two of them put up a joint frontal gland of support for each other and their gay friends in love.
Main Characters[edit | edit source]
♂Herrington Takasu (高須 ヘリントン)[edit | edit source]
The protagonist of "Maradora!".
Him and Taiga are classmates. Second year, Gay class.
He is an unfortunate young man who is called "gay" by those around him simply because his "canon gun" is dark and smells like shrimp.
However, despite his stench, he's actually very caring and has a family-oriented side to him, such as when he treats Taiga, who lives alone in a Gay♂Palace, to fried rice with red bean paste.
His speciality is wrestling, and he's meticulous about not missing even the tiniest pair of pants.
He has a crush on his classmate, Gosaku Kushieda, and gets an erection just by making eye contact. He finds out through a muscle letter that Taiga has a homosexual crush on Kitamara, Herrington being the only one to find out about Taiga's interest. Knowing each other's favorite man, the two decided to intertwine to support each other's love.
Taiga calls him a "crab" or a "useless crab", and he's used for hand scraping. He's also good friends with Osaku Kitamara.
He has a good record of being an excellent gay student in public school. From his third year, he was recommended by his bachelors (20 students each in the humanities and sciences) to the selective classes for the National Gay University.
♂Taiga Kaimen (海綿 大河)[edit | edit source]
The other main character, Herrington's classgayte. Second year, Gay class. Because of his name and his ferocious nature, he's nicknamed "Hand Job Tiger".
He's strong-willed, but also weak-willed. Even with a full erection, he's still small (14.5 cm/5.7 inch).
His appearance is described by Herrington as "The base of the potash is tight. He's slender all over". Perhaps because of this, the schoolboys called him a handsome little man from the time he entered the school, and he was so popular that he received pants wrestling from many people. However, in contrast to her strong spirit, he digs up everything in love, even though he's received a confession quite secretly.
At the time, he's worried about Osaku Kitamara, who dumped him after receiving his confession. Kitamara himself was fond of Taiga, but he gave up on him after he successfully dumped her, and now he treats him as a (sexual) friend.
He lives in the Gay♂Palace next door to Herrington (which infringes on the Takasu family's right to sunlight), but apparently there's an affair at home.
He's good friends with his classmate, Gosaku Kushieda.
♂Gosaku Kushieda (串枝 吾作)[edit | edit source]
A classmate of Taiga's and is in the same Gay class, Second year. He's Taiga's best friend. Her nickname is "Kanirin". The protagonist, Herrington, is secretly in love with him.
His personality is very active and cheerful. His character is characterised by his natural self-paced personality. Because of his cheerful personality, he's able to open up to everyone, and Herrington calls him "un-distorted". Anyway, he digs too hard, and he occasionally makes too much gay tension (crab words).
In his club, he's the captain of the boys' soft-shell club and is an active high school student who is also a member of several gay clubs. By the way, he's the best 8 in the fit.
He's a good boy who digs in at will to his best friend.
♂Osaku Kitamara (北マラ 臭作)[edit | edit source]
Herrington's best friend in the same second year, Gay class. He's an ultra-elite honour student who's the vice president of the Gay Student Association, class president, and also the head of the men's pants wrestling club. He's also a good friend of Herrington, who's feared by everyone around him for his lack of colour. At school, he often hangs out and talks with the boys, his nickname being "Marao".
He had an experience of confessing his love for Taiga in the past, but he was successfully shot down. Since then, he and Taiga have been friends.
♂Aahmi Kawahe (皮閉 アッー実)[edit | edit source]
A boy who's a childhood friend of the protagonist Herrington's best friend, Osaku Kitamara, who transferred to the second year, Gay class in the middle of the first semester. He appears to be a normal high school boy, but he used to work as a porn model. He's currently taking a temporary break from the pornography business for one reason or another. His personality is exceptionally quiet. He usually acts in a friendly manner to those around him, but this is his outward appearance. He's prideful and calculating in his heart, and when he first met Taiga, he took a lot of chances with him, upsetting him and getting his pants ripped off. Since then, he and Taiga have become doggie-buddy.
Although he professes to be 5'5", 85kg and doesn't get stocky when he eats, his style is actually a product of his efforts. He was the victim of a stalker and the stress of the stalker made him a little flabby at one point, but by the time he got to his underwater pants wrestling class, he was completely over it. He doesn't restrict his diet and only goes to the locker room to maintain his style.
♂Koji Horuta (掘る田 肛痔)[edit | edit source]
Aahmi is mine, so I'm sorry > anar
-- You meant "anal", right?

♂Kari Shirigakubo (尻ヶ窪 かり)[edit | edit source]
He's the homeroom teacher for the second year, Gay class, an 8.8 year old solo chin, and the gay students say, "Solo chin!" and "Cruising for sex!", to which they are often dug up as such.

♂Chinko-chan (チンコちゃん)[edit | edit source]
