Overview[]
With a scenario by Kai Takizawa, this short series focuses on the unlucky and sex-craving Yamamoto 46, identified as such for him being 46 years of age and a total inexperienced virgin. In all his 46 years of life, he has been given misfortune by his mother, Yamamoto 80.
Originally, the series ran with the notation of クソばばあ, and then クソババア, before settling on the final spelling by the end and for its reprints.
