A theory, coined the “popularity period,” explains that all humans go through a period of their life where they become surprisingly attractive to others. This phenomenon is supposedly seen in both men and women and is supposed to occur roughly three times over the span of one’s lifetime.
Of course, this is all just a theory with no real evidence to prove its legitimacy; actually, it could be considered more of an urban legend than anything. Soukichi had no problem dismissing the whole notion in the past, but based on what was currently happening to him, he was forced to consider whether or not the theory was true after all.
It is a time in which developments you’d only see in harem anime began to occur, like multiple members of the opposite gender all of a sudden beginning to hit on you.
