The series ran for a total of 26 volumes end eventually came to an end in April 2021. Unfortunately, no international publisher has picked up the series. However, the series has seen a nice deal of success. Rokudou no Onna-tachi currently has over 2.3 million copies in circulation as of January 2023, making it Nakamura’s biggest manga success.

Tousuke Rokudou is a loser, and everyone knows it. He gets picked on at school, gets snide looks from passersby, and can only muster up the courage to complain in secret with his equally hapless friends. Looking to turn his life around, he desperately uses an ancestral artifact passed down in his family for generations: a scroll that is capable of subduing all demons. However, in the modern age, it has a different effect: it makes all bad girls fall in love with him. Things go ballistic when he meets the delinquent beast-on-a-girl’s-body Ranna Himawari, who hopelessly falls deep for him. See Rokudou traverse through a school life filled with delinquents, turf wars, backstabbing, and as the song goes, “Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting”! (Synopsis via Manga Updates)

The Rokudou no Onna-tachi anime series is set to release in April 2023 with studio Satelight in charge of animation production.
