■ Story

Maeshiri, an ordinary salaryman whose buttocks are located on the front of his body.

But his true identity? The hero who protects the peace of the city—Oshirimantan!

With his rear in front, Oshirimantan refuses to allow any threat to the city's peace. He overcomes daily challenges, forges new friendships, and conquers harsh trials to resolve crises.

Amid this, a sinister force stirs… An evil shadow seeks to revive the legendary 'Oshiri Empire'—a once-mythical domain—and plunge the world into domination.
