''Molester Man'' is a doujinshi that is mostly from the point of view of a university student who calls himself Molester Man. The premise is that by a series of misunderstandings Molester Man was mistaken as a stalker and HilarityEnsues. The story has a serious side too; its essence is the classic RagsToRiches plot being driven by romance. As implied by the story's plot, the reader sees Molester Man grow as a person and gradually move towards a happier state of being.

The doujinshi is [[RomanAClef based on a real story]] posted on 2ch in the VIP thread and adapted by Creator/YokotaTakuma (a.k.a YOKO) who was later also responsible for ''Bakatsun'', ''Shuudan!'', ''Manga/StraightenUpWelcomeToShikaHighsCompetitiveDanceClub'' and the art in ''Manga/OnaniMasterKurosawa''. It has a somewhat unusual narrative as it's fairly common to have the majority of the chapters composed of texts.

There is a live action adaption of Molester Man; the link to it is [[http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODQ4NDMyNjg=.html here]] although it's only available in Japanese as of January 2nd 2013.

There is also an unofficial and incomplete youtube adaption of Molester Man linked [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Doppelmetz here]]. However it's only in Japanese as of January 14 2013.

Compare with ''Literature/TrainMan2004'' (a.k.a ''Densha Otoko'') whose protagonist is also socially awkward, albeit in a different way, and also meets a love interest through an incident. Though after the incident the protagonist from Train Man was seen in a much more positive light than the protagonist from Molester Man.

!! This series contains examples of:
* AmbiguouslyGay: The male waiter.
--> '''Male Waiter''': You seem to have become manlier than the last time we met. Wanna do it?
** All of this was said while loosening his shirt although to be fair he wasn't completely serious. The question is if it was flirtation or just teasing/trolling.
* ApologizesALot: All of the main characters, but especially Molester. %%Somewhat justified with Glasses in chapter 2.
* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Loli asks if Molester Man is going to "do something" to her when they're alone in her apartment, both sitting close together at the kotatsu.
* ArtEvolution: Compare chapter 1 to chapter 21.
* ArtShift: YOKO often drew the characters resembling popular manga artwork style like ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', ''{{Manga/Bleach}}'', and ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' for [[ShoutOut comedic purposes]].
* BackStory:
** Only mentioned by Molester Man but [[FriendlessBackground its]] [[LonersAreFreaks pretty]] [[KidsAreCruel dark]].

--> '''Molester Man''': Frankly speaking some of it made me so frisky it gave me an [[LastSecondWordSwap erec-err]]... I meant that it made me shake with anger.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Molester Man has shown some mild signs of this in Chapter 1[[https://plus.google.com/photos/110793535724604745254/albums/5814158062473491697/5814158065579338194?banner=pwa]]

* ComplimentFishing: Kansai, when she's texting with Molester in Chapter 6.

* [[DecoyProtagonist Decoy Deuteragonist]]: Miss Understanding seems like she'll be the LoveInterest and deuteragonist for the first 3 chapters.

* HypocriticalHumour: A meta example, that is unintentional, is by YOKO.

** Loli, who [[BuxomBeautyStandard definitely doesn't have a loli body type]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy:
** [[spoiler:In chapter 20, Molester chooses to never meet both Kansai and Loli anymore to preserve their friendship.]]
** Also Implied by [[spoiler: Kansai while Molester was after Miss Understanding and when Loli appeared to have a chance]].
** After Molester tells the whole story to [[spoiler:Loli and asks her to make up with Kansai for Kansai's sake]], she realizes that he's never going to truly love her, and she wants both him and her best friend to be happy.

* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: One could argue that this applies to Miss Understanding, Kansai and even Molester Man.

-->1. Treat her to a meal
-->2. Get very close with her
-->3. Spend Christmas with her
-->4. ???
-->5. Profit

* PornStash: Molester Man has one, somewhat of a subversion as unlike most fictional characters with one, he’s pretty nonchalant about it being discovered.

* RagingStiffie: Molester Man is grateful to Loli for giving him a blanket when he's at her place watching ''Gundam'', since it hides his erection.

* SheCleansUpNicely: Kansai in kimono.
* ASimplePlan: Will Molester Man ever catch a break?
