No Wonder I'm Unwanted in This Chastity-Reversed World - Chapter 01

Volume 01: For some reason, only I’m not approached by girls…

Chapter 01

It’s been 16 years since I came to this “Chastity-Reversed World.”

…What is this guy talking about? You’re probably thinking that, aren’t you?

In my previous life, I’d definitely accept such a retort.

But here’s the thing… I am indeed in a Chastity-Reversed World. I’ve lived here for 16 years since I was born.

A Chastity-Reversed World: a world where women have stronger sexual desires. Therefore, women become the predators, seeking men, while men become herbivores due to the aggressive women around them.

The gender ratio in the world I reincarnated into is about 1:20. It’s still better than the worlds depicted in novels and manga, where it’s 1:100 or even “I’m the only man in the world.”

In a world with fewer men and highly assertive women, it’s indisputable that men are popular.

Just by being a man, you’re approached by beautiful women, and you can even have a harem. I thought it was a wonderful world that embodies men’s desires. However…

◇◇

“Today’s class was so exhausting.”

Guh, I stretched my arms.

At 16, I passed my exams and entered high school.

Life in a high school in the Chastity-Reversed World is different, especially the gender ratio. There are only three boys in my class, including me, and fewer than 20 in the whole school.

And the most significant difference is—there are male bodyguards. These bodyguards exist to ensure that the boys have a safe and secure school life.

These male bodyguards are always by the boys’ side, from the time they arrive at school until they leave.

Though I call them “bodyguards,” they’re not elite adults but selected students from within the class.

They don’t wear any special uniforms; they wear the standard male school uniform. I guess they’re male because they look masculine.

In this world, there seem to be many men who are surprisingly resistant to the assertive women.

Well, the classroom started to buzz as it’s now after school.

“Tanaka-kun~. Wanna go home together today?”

“Hey, Takahashi-kun. Are you free later?”

In front of me, the girls in the class were inviting the boys for some after-school time. It feels like youth, or perhaps more like being socially active.

Unless you have other plans, there’s really no reason to say no.

—That would be the case, in my previous life.

“Hii, scary…”

“P-please, don’t come any closer!”

Tanaka, who has a buzz cut, and Takahashi, who wears glasses—two of the precious few boys in the class—were shaking like newborn fawns.

It might seem like an overreaction, but apparently, this is a normal response here.

About half of the men in the world are said to react this way, fearful and shrinking back when approached by women.

“Tanaka~kun”

“Takahashi-kuuun”

However, such reactions don’t seem to matter.

Even more girls began to gather around Tanaka and Takahashi. Some were openly talking to them; others were blushing and breathing heavily.

The reason this is happening is that while the male bodyguards are constantly present during school hours, after school is relatively free time for the boys. Hence, the girls find more opportunities to interact with them after school.

At least, that’s what my male bodyguard told me.

Despite the majority of the girls in the class rushing in, no one had even come close to touching Tanaka or Takahashi.

And for good reason.

“Everyone, step back!”

“If you come any closer, we male bodyguards won’t hold back, okay?”

Two students stood in front of the still-trembling Tanaka and Takahashi, emitting an intimidating aura.

They were the male bodyguards for Tanaka and Takahashi. Incidentally, both are quite handsome. Actually, they’re even more attractive than Tanaka and Takahashi, who have average faces. 

I always find it strange that they aren’t the ones getting more attention.

“Aww, that’s so unfair! Only the male bodyguards get to be close!”

“Yeah! Yeah! Give us a chance to get close to the boys too!”

Facing the vehement protests from the girls in the class, the male bodyguards calmly said,

“What will you do if you scare the boys so much that they stop coming to school? Is that what you want?”

“If that happens, you might never share a classroom with boys for the rest of your school life. Are you okay with that?”

“”…!!””

The girls grimaced at the male bodyguards’ valid arguments.

When I took the entrance exam for this high school, I was recommended because I’m male, but for the girls, recommendation slots are rarely available. The competition rate was incredibly high, apparently.

The main reason is that our high school has the most boys in the county.

For the girls, boys are literally their reason for living. I’ve even seen a street interview on TV where girls said they go to school to meet boys.

“I, I’m going home.”

“Girls are scary… so scary…”

Taking advantage of the girls’ hesitation, Tanaka and Takahashi quickly left the classroom, clutching their bags to their chests. The male bodyguards followed them immediately.

“Ahh, they got away.”

“Failed again, huh.”

“I just want to get a little bit closer to them, even if it’s just the tiniest bit.”

With Tanaka and Takahashi now gone, everyone reluctantly dispersed, shoulders drooping.

I see this scene play out every day.

“…”

And… the reason I, despite being a male, can comment on this so casually is…

Because there’s nobody around me. Even after school, not a single girl comes over to my side.

“…”

Silently, I stood up. 

I decided to take action myself. It’s important, right? 

Yeah!

Immediately, I approached two nearby girls.

“So, um, how about me? I’m free after school.”

My voice was a little shaky due to nervousness. 

In my previous life, I neither had a girlfriend nor many close female friends. 

Even in a world where gender roles are reversed, I’m not used to this kind of thing.

I waited for a response with a bright smile, but…

“Erm, Ichise-kun, you see…”

“Well… Ichise-kun, for you…”

The two girls looked away from me as if I were a landmine they wanted to avoid.

Why? Why does it always turn out like this?

“Did I do something? I feel like I’m being treated differently from everyone else…”

I tried to make eye contact, but they completely avoided it. They were avoiding me with all their might.

“Should we just go straight home today?”

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

“Huh, what?”

In the end, even my questions were ignored. The girls quickly walked away from me, as if fleeing.

“…”

I was alone again. 

The girls around me showed no interest even though I was by myself; they hastily packed up their things and left the classroom.

Finally, I was the only one left in the room.

“…”

Silently, I looked up at the sky.

Yes, this is reality.

This is my world where gender roles are reversed. 

While other boys get fawned over, no one so much as meets my eye, let alone talks to me. Well, if I do initiate a conversation, they’ll respond, but that’s not the point!

“Why…”

Why… Why am I the only one who’s not wanted?
