OVA
Description
Yuuji Yagami is a high school student tormented by an intense attraction toward his mother, Nomi, whose remarkably youthful appearance and demeanor fuel his complex. This fixation causes him deep distress and embarrassment, exacerbated by relentless teasing from peers about his "mother complex." Nomi's openly affectionate behavior toward both her husband and Yuuji further complicates matters, as she remains unaware of its profound effect on him.
Beyond his family, Yuuji navigates relationships with peers. On Valentine's Day, he receives handmade chocolates bearing an ambiguously written name initially mistaken for male, leading to class ridicule. The sender is revealed to be Mayuki Ikari, marking the start of their romance. Mayuki begins meeting him after school and becomes his girlfriend. Despite this relationship, Yuuji's conflict persists; he openly declares his love for his mother to Mayuki and describes daily affectionate gestures like kissing Nomi.
A subplot involves Yuuji forming a temporary alliance with his homeroom teacher, Akira Yokkaichi, who also harbors feelings for Nomi. Both perceive Yuuji's father as an obstacle and conspire to disrupt the parents' marriage before resuming their rivalry. Yuuji also collaborates with Mitsuko Nanase, an office worker infatuated with his father, in schemes to separate his parents. Mitsuko later shifts her attention to Yuuji, attempting to take him to a love hotel.
Yuuji's internal struggle includes doubting whether Nomi is his biological mother due to her youthful appearance and the absence of childhood photos featuring her. Although this doubt is resolved within the narrative, his feelings remain unresolved. His school life faces additional strain from friends who encourage his fixation, even suggesting a threesome with his mother – a remark provoking an extreme reaction.
Yuuji's development culminates in a stated goal to overcome his mother complex. This process is not fully depicted across the available media. His interactions with Mayuki signify a gradual shift toward normalizing his romantic focus, even as he contends with recurring temptations and external provocations concerning his mother.
