Rock Is a Lady's Modesty

Lilisa Suzunomiya loves playing guitar but the path to making music suddenly closes when her mother remarries into a wealthy real estate family. Years later, a spark returns when she befriends Otoha Kurogane, a classmate who seems flawless on the surface yet secretly bashes out thunderous metal rhythms. The two strike an unlikely partnership that blends Lilisa’s melodic sensibilities with Otoha’s ferocious drumming, turning school corridors and late night jam sessions into a statement against society’s expectations. The show balances humor with heart as it explores ambition, identity, and the costs of following a personal dream. Its tone stays human and intimate, even as the music roars to life.

Created by Shogo Yasukawa and Hiroshi Fukuda, Rock Is a Lady's Modesty premiered in 2025 as an animated series blending comedy and drama. The animation pairs bright, punchy designs with moody musical cues, and the show centers on musical ambition.
