Shinsei Motemote Ōkoku (Japanese: 神聖モテモテ王国, lit. "The Holy Motemote Kingdom") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ken Nagai. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday from March 27, 1996 to February 9, 2000. Its chapters were collected in six tankōbon volumes.
Plot
The story follows a mysterious alien named Father and a boy presented as his son, Onnasky. Longing to become popular among women, they make bizarre plans every day in their apartment to pick up girls. Then they go to town, enact their stupid plans, and go home in vain. In this series, no detailed information is provided about the characters. Their conversation does not make sense sometimes, and Father's face is drawn intentionally out of proportion. These features generate uncomfortable, "off-key" feelings that result in a unique, peculiar humor, which is loved by many enthusiastic fans.
