On the night of his second wedding anniversary, thirty-five-year-old suit company salesman Ichiro Wako returns home to discover his wife Menka engaged in an affair with an unfamiliar man. The discovery shatters what little self-worth Ichiro had maintained. Years of verbal abuse and cold rejection from Menka had already left him suffering from psychogenic erectile dysfunction, triggered on their wedding night. After formalizing their divorce and surrendering his apartment to pay off her remaining mortgage loans, Ichiro considers himself permanently broken and resigns himself to emotional isolation.

His routine takes an unexpected turn when Kurumi Shibuya, a reserved twenty-four-year-old accountant in his workplace, follows him to the shrine where he discarded his wedding band. Kurumi reveals a shocking truth: she is Menka's estranged younger sister and has harbored deep romantic feelings for Ichiro for years. Determined to help Ichiro heal from his psychological wounds and reclaim his masculine confidence, Kurumi confesses her love and proposes an intimate partnership aimed at his complete emotional recovery. However, Kurumi's uncanny facial resemblance to her abusive sister creates an immediate psychological barrier that complicates their physical connection.

As Ichiro strives to move past his trauma, coworkers including junior colleague Yuki Ayase and assertive office figures begin inserting themselves into his personal life, creating an unforeseen workplace harem. INABA Minori crafts an unfiltered exploration of adult healing, combining frank physical comedy with genuine psychological vulnerability across Tokyo's corporate landscape.

What to Expect

Batsu-Hare blends adult comedy with psychological drama centered on sexual rehabilitation and trauma recovery. Rather than relying on standard harem tropes, the story focuses heavily on the mental barriers of divorce, performance anxiety, and boundary negotiation within corporate Tokyo. Pacing balances explicit romance scenes with grounded character interactions, maintaining tension through the protagonist's recurring flashbacks to his ex-wife's infidelity.

Who Will Enjoy This

Readers looking for mature seinen romantic comedies featuring grounded adult protagonists, workplace relationship dynamics, and sincere recovery themes will appreciate this series. Fans of INABA Minori's previous work on Minamoto-kun Monogatari will recognize the detailed artistic style and nuanced exploration of complex interpersonal taboos.
