Ryosuke Kaga |
One day, Ryosuke Kaga, a high school boy attending {{nihongo|Momozomo Academy|桃園学園|Momozomo Gakuen}}, meets a girl standing alone in the rain. Introducing herself as Lisara Restall, an elite [[Death god (Japan)|Grim Reaper]], she visited the human world in order to find "The Singular Man". Ryosuke makes a contract with Lisara, while sucking energy required for her activity in the human world from Ryosuke. The source of the energy is his lecherous spirit. To preserve his life, Ryosuke has no choice but to help in Lisara's search. |

:Ryosuke is a second-year student at Momozomo Academy, who uses his lecherous life-energy to give Lisara energy. Also, he learns from Lisara that he will die in three months and in return for his help now, she will try to change his fate. Lisara uses the Broken Sword, ''[[Gram (mythology)|Gram]]'', which used to belong to the god of war, to form a contract with Ryosuke. However, it was revealed later that Ryosuke has the other half of Gram (which was thought to be lost), thus gaining full power of the sword. He falls in love with Lisara, and can only fully charge his lecherous spirit energy if he thinks of her body alone or with his "Invisible Dictionary". He lives on his own (until Lisara moved in) because his mother works overseas; his father died when he was 3 (his mother later reveals that his father isn't actually dead but that he disappeared). At the end of the anime, he and Lisara became a couple even though Lisara still feels uneasy about his lecherousness. |

She wields a [[scythe]] called {{nihongo|"Carnun Pladur"|カルヌーンプラデュール|Karunūn Puradyūru}}, which channels the element of fire. She used the hilt of the Broken Sword Gram (belonging to the Restall family) to form a contract with Ryosuke. She falls in love with Ryosuke but does not show it, unlike the other girls. Her bust size is seventy-something cm. At the end of the anime, she and Ryosuke became a couple. |

She has very strong feelings for Ryosuke as he protected her when they were children. She is aware of Ryosuke's lecherousness and it doesn't seem to bother her. Mina is untroubled when Lisara's true identity is revealed and lets Lisara continue her "business" with Ryosuke. She makes a contract with Quele so that she can help Ryosuke and her energy charge for Quele develops when she talks about him. |

;{{nihongo|Grimworld|死神界(グリムワールド)|Gurimuwārudo|lit. "Grim Reaper World"}} |
|||
:The home of the Grim Reapers, which lies in a different realm. Grimworld is powered by the Energy that is collected by the Grim Reapers from humans. The Energy collected resembles as a huge fiery sun, way above Grimworld. |
|||
;{{nihongo|Grim Reapers|死神|Shinigami}} |
|||
:Individuals that come from Grimworld to the Human World. Their duty is to collect the "Energy" that's no longer needed by humans, whose souls are passing on as they're dying. However, they do not guide the souls nor do they know what happens to the souls or where the souls goes after a person dies - that's not their purpose. They do, however, also come to the Human World in search for a "Special Specimen" human. Once they have found one, they will create a contract with the person, so when the person dies, the Grim Reaper well obtain his/her Energy and level up in rank. But in order for a Grim Reaper to be active in the Human World, which they consume a lot of Energy just by being in it, they need to replenish that Energy from the human that they made the contract with. It doesn't always have to be a Special Specimen human to make a contract with. A Grim Reaper can make a temporary contract with a human so to replenish his/her Energy while in the Human World -- doing so, the Grim Reaper has a source of Energy to draw from while searching for a Special Specimen or for whatever other reason being in the Human World. The humans that a Grim Reaper usually makes a temporary contract with are people whose lives are shorty coming to an end. So by making a temporary contract with them, the Grim Reaper agrees to change their fate by finding a way to lengthen their lives. |
|||
;{{nihongo|Broken Swords|折れた剣|Oreta-ken}} |
|||
:Powerful legendary swords that have been broken in half to control their destructive power. If the two halves were to rejoin, it would bring forth total chaos. These halves are given to two household families in Grimworld, and are used to form a contract between a Grim Reaper and his/her human source of Energy. To form the contract, the Grim Reaper uses the Broken Sword not on the physical body, but on the soul of the human, where it remains while the contract is in place. Once this ritual is performed, it connects both of their souls, and, as such, the Grim Reaper is able to replenish his/her energy from the contracted human. It is said that the hilt is often referred as female and the blade as male. |
|||
;;{{nihongo|[[Gram (mythology)|Gram]]|折れた剣のグラム|Oreta-ken no Guramu|"Broken-Sword Gram"}} |
|||
::A sword once owned by the God of War, and now resides as a Broken Sword. The Restall Family hold possession over the hilt-half of the Broken Sword, which Lisara uses to form the contract with Ryosuke. The other half of the Broken Sword, the blade half, was possessed by the Galdarblog Family, but unfortunately it was said to be lost. However, later it is revealed that it was inside Ryosuke, thus giving him the full power of the sword (with certain risks). Ryosuke's father was a member of the Galdarblog Family, and was the one responsible for putting the blade half (the other half of the Gram sword) in Ryosuke while he was in his mother's womb. |
|||
;{{nihongo|Energy|エナジー|Enajī}} |
|||
:The souls of all living organisms are connected to their bodies by Energy. Once a person is dying, the Energy that connects his/her soul to his/her body is released. Grim Reapers collect this Energy before it vanishes, right at the point of death, and use it to power Grimworld. Grim Reapers can also acquire this type of Energy from living humans, which they use to remain in the Human World. The more Energy a Grim Reaper obtains, the more powerful they become - enabling them to also level up in rank, and as such, making their family household also more powerful in status. |
|||
;{{nihongo|Singular Person|特異者|Tokuisha}} |
|||
:A Singular Person is a "Special Specimen" human that only a few exist in the Human World (they usually come into existence every few hundred years). These people are the ones that end up becoming heroes or famous people with famous talents, like famous painters or novelists -- someone with greatness, and as such, processing lots of Energy due to his/her passion. Once they die, that Energy can be used by a Grim Reaper to level up in rank and power Grimworld. |

So, I Can't Play H! (Japanese: だから僕は、Hができない。, Hepburn: Dakara Boku wa, Ecchi ga Dekinai.), shortened to Boku-H (僕H, Boku-Ecchi), is a Japanese light novel series written by Pan Tachibana and illustrated by Yoshiaki Katsurai. The story centers on Ryosuke Kaga, a lecherous high school student who makes a contract with Lisara Restall, a beautiful Grim Reaper, in exchange for his lecherous spirit.
Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai began serialization in Fujimi Shobo's Dragon Magazine in 2010. The series' eleven volumes were released between June 19, 2010, and August 20, 2013. A manga adaptation illustrated by Shou Okagiri began serialization in the May 2011 issue of Monthly Dragon Age, and released five volumes as of December 9, 2013. A 12-episode anime adaptation produced by Feel was announced,[3] and aired from July to September 2012 on AT-X and other networks. The anime series was licensed by Sentai Filmworks in 2013 for distribution in North America. Sentai Filmworks has released the series on DVD, Blu-ray Disc and for online streaming.
Plot
[edit]One day, Ryosuke Kaga, a high school boy attending Momozomo Academy (桃園学園, Momozomo Gakuen), meets a girl standing alone in the rain. Introducing herself as Lisara Restall, an elite Grim Reaper, she visited the human world in order to find "The Singular Man". Ryosuke makes a contract with Lisara, while sucking energy required for her activity in the human world from Ryosuke. The source of the energy is his lecherous spirit. To preserve his life, Ryosuke has no choice but to help in Lisara's search.
Characters
[edit]Main characters
[edit]- Ryosuke Kaga (加賀 良介, Kaga Ryōsuke)
- Voiced by: Hiro Shimono
- Ryosuke is a second-year student at Momozomo Academy, who uses his lecherous life-energy to give Lisara energy. Also, he learns from Lisara that he will die in three months and in return for his help now, she will try to change his fate. Lisara uses the Broken Sword, Gram, which used to belong to the god of war, to form a contract with Ryosuke. However, it was revealed later that Ryosuke has the other half of Gram (which was thought to be lost), thus gaining full power of the sword. He falls in love with Lisara, and can only fully charge his lecherous spirit energy if he thinks of her body alone or with his "Invisible Dictionary". He lives on his own (until Lisara moved in) because his mother works overseas; his father died when he was 3 (his mother later reveals that his father isn't actually dead but that he disappeared). At the end of the anime, he and Lisara became a couple even though Lisara still feels uneasy about his lecherousness.
- Lisara Restall (リサラ・レストール, Risara Resutōru)
- Voiced by: Aya Endō
- The heroine of the story, a beautiful Grim Reaper who makes a deal with Ryosuke and uses his lecherous "spirit" for energy. She wields a scythe called "Carnun Pladur" (カルヌーンプラデュール, Karunūn Puradyūru), which channels the element of fire. She used the hilt of the Broken Sword Gram (belonging to the Restall family) to form a contract with Ryosuke. She falls in love with Ryosuke but does not show it, unlike the other girls. Her bust size is seventy-something cm. At the end of the anime, she and Ryosuke became a couple.
- Mina Okura (大倉 美菜, Ōkura Mina)
- Voiced by: Kaori Ishihara
- Ryosuke's childhood best friend and currently Quele's partner. She developed a large bust early in her childhood and is now a 92 cm - G-cup. She has very strong feelings for Ryosuke as he protected her when they were children. She is aware of Ryosuke's lecherousness and it doesn't seem to bother her. Mina is untroubled when Lisara's true identity is revealed and lets Lisara continue her "business" with Ryosuke. She makes a contract with Quele so that she can help Ryosuke and her energy charge for Quele develops when she talks about him.
- Quele Zeria (キュール・ゼリア, Kyūru Zeria)
- Voiced by: Arisa Nishiguchi
- Lisara's distant cousin and another Grim Reaper. She calls Lisara "Onee-sama" despite not being her sister. She makes a contract with Mina as her energy source, to both Ryosuke's and Lisara's dismay. In battle she wields a gladius called "Carnun Solace" (カルヌーンソラス, Karunūn Sorasu), which channels the element of ice. She falls in love with Ryosuke but later in the series, she pushes those feelings aside to support first Mina, then Lisara.
- Iria Fukumune (福宗 イリア, Fukumune Iria)
- Voiced by: Misato Fukuen
- Lisara's rival Grim Reaper during her school years at Grimwald, who is also a famous pop idol in the human world. Despite being 2nd in the school (Lisara being ranked top of her class), she has the biggest bust size of the main cast (92.5 cm - G-cup). However, her large breasts are revealed to be a result of infusing breast pads with magic, and her actual bust size is smaller than Lisara's. She wields a falchion named "Flotty" (フロッティ, Furotti), which channels the element of lightning. She also claims to be in love with Ryosuke, but so far it only seems she likes him because of the energy he can create. She is also trying to find a Singular Person for herself (to level in rank) and for her employers. Instead of gaining energy from a contract with a person, she gains energy from the devotion of her fans.
