"Modaete yo Adam-kun" is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Sora Amamiya. It was later adapted into an anime series. The story revolves around Adam, a young man who is sent to the modern world from the future for the purpose of observing human behavior, specifically focusing on the interactions between men and women. Adam's observations lead to comedic misunderstandings and situations as he navigates through modern human relationships.
The anime follows the life of Sōhei Shinomiya, a high school student who has a peculiar ability – whenever he eats a certain type of candy, he can see the erotic thoughts of those around him. This unusual power often leads to comedic situations and unexpected encounters.
