The history of H was eradicated by an armed military force in a war.

The conflict was replaced, not by the military forces, but by a special 'Mic' mesmerizing the psyches of the people.

Its name is [Hypnosis Microphone].

The lyrics channeled through this microphone affect people's sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system​s, making it possible to alter a person's state of mind.

Rap is used to determine one's superiority.

Outside of Chuuouku District, men live in the Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, and Yokohama divisions.

As each division's representative MC group fought, the districts who won were allowed to acquire certain parts of other territories.

In this world, where words, not weapons, became tools of power, the battles for territories holding men's pride and prestige begins.

* BattleRapping: In a literal sense, this go around. And in a world without physical violence, this is what they turn to for fighting.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The four main districts are represented by the primary colors in addition to grey. Ikebukuro is Red, Yokohama is Blue, Shibuya is Yellow, and Shinjuku is Grey.

* MinimalistCast: The main cast consists of 12 characters total. [[note]] With the side characters, the cast comes up to about 16 characters, although they all have yet to have their designs ( and names in some cases ) revealed and only one of them has a voice actor. [[/note]]

* TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: All those districts? Just Tokyo, as usual.

* SlidingScaleOfGenderInequality: Of the men and women being separated variant, which leads to some UnfortunateImplications of what happens/happened to families. Men can only enter the women's district with permission. Their current world doesn't seem to be entirely built on sexism, however, as the background character women observed in the Drama [=CDs=] from Chuuoku so far don't seem to have a problem with Hifumi [[note]] outside of lustfully pursuing him[[/note]] or the other male characters.

In the not too distant future, in the year H, the world has had its fill of senseless war and violence. The women, especially, are completely fed up; and in their crusade against the madness they have stopped all physical wars and banned weapons, with a bill called Bill H. So now there's peace and happiness, right?

To put it bluntly, no; in this world, the women have had enough of senseless violence--and evidently, also men. They took over all government positions eventually, moving the new order into the central Chuoku district, while the men were made second class citizens and placed in one of the districts outside of it.

However, from these circumstances rose a brand new weapon--the Hypnosis Microphone, which gives its user the ability to psychologically affect anyone in hearing range if compelling enough. Logically, this results in territorial disputes among the districts. This usually happens in colosseum battles, in which teams representing each district are pit against each other and voted on by thousands of women. The winning team gains some favor from them and a certain amount of territory with it. How is this supposed to work, you ask?

Rapping, of course.

Yes, rapping; the language of the streets and of the rebels. This time tested way of proving mettle is now the key to power outside of central, and one rap group stood above them all--The Dirty Dawg. But infighting and a clash of ideals made this group split into four, and now they've become the leaders of four different districts; Ichirou Yamada of Ikebukuro district's '''Buster Bros.!!!''', Samatoki Aohitsugi of Yokohama district's '''Mad Trigger Crew''', Ramuda Amemura of Shibuya's '''Fling Posse''', and Jakurai Jinguji of Shinjuku's '''Matenrou'''. And all of them want to kick the shit out of each other.

* ChromosomeCasting: The main cast are all-male rap groups, with most girls serving as side characters, family, or announcers.
