Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Taro Sado is a masochist. For years, this has left him unable to confess to a girl he saw at his job. At the advice of his friend, he goes to join the school's Second Volunteer Club. The first one is for normal volunteer purposes. The second is for personal problems and everything else. When he arrives, Taro meets Mio Isurugi, the club president with a sadistic personality, and Arashiko Yuno, a shy girl who's also part of the Volunteer Club. A masochist and a sadist meet, and Hilarity Ensues.Based on an unfinished series of 10 Light Novels, MM!, after a false alarm from the creators stating they wanted to be adapted into an anime in late 2007, was finally adapted into a 12-Episode Anime in fall 2010.

comment
The Unsolved Mystery: In the anime, only Mio's story is really "resolved" by the end. Unfortunately, we may never get any conclusions at all due to the death of the author.

Becomes a plot point (as in literal fetish fuel) in episode 5. Specifically, Taro uses a piece of Noa's Mad Scientist tech to transform his perversion into raw power, effectively becoming a Super Saiyan for the duration of the episode.

First-Name Basis Yuno and Taro get on these terms with each other in Episode 2. But it turns out Taro didn't fulfill his end of the bargain. And Yuno is using it as a way to get around her androphobia... because that's also the name of a dog that she used to own. Mio doesn't quite realize that she called Taro by his first name for the very first time in Episode 11. She also calls his name out in the last episode.

Leg Focus: The camera focuses on Mio's legs quite a bit when she shows up in a new outfit while attempting to "cure" Taro's perverted masochism. At one point, Taro thinks that "getting crushed between those legs would be paradise" as a slow-motion shot of Mio jumping out of the window focuses on the thigh-high socks she has on.

Comedic Sociopathy
 MM! / int_4a4d6f7c
comment
Comedic Sociopathy: Mio takes this to unparalleled levels. She refers to Taro as "Pig Taro," routinely subjects him to physical punishments (including kicking him in the balls), and generally beats the crap out of him on a whim. The only reason she gets away with it is because Taro's such a masochist that he enjoys it. Taro's constant enjoyment of Mio's abuse, as well as Mio's increasingly desperate attempts to try and stop him from enjoying his kink, are all played for comedy.

Cannot Spit It Out: Arashiko does eventually get over her fear of men thanks to Taro's Nice Guy attitude (masochist perversion notwithstanding). However, Arashiko has a lot of trouble actually working up the nerve to tell him. Mio also develops a crush on Taro, but she can't spit it out because of her tsundere tendencies. When Taro isn't around, Mio is asked point-blank how she feels about Taro. All Mio can respond with after a few flustered seconds is "I don't know how I feel about him!"

Buxom Beauty Standard: Zigzagged.

Dysfunction Junction

comment
Dysfunction Junction: Oh, where to start? Taro suffers from a very extreme case of sexual masochism, which is of course the central point of the show. Tomoko and Shizuka both appear to want to jump Taro's bones, something he definitely does not want. Oh, and both of them are incredibly emotionally stunted. Yuno has extreme androphobia, though thanks to the efforts of the Second Volunteer Club she has started to get better. Yuno's friend Yumi, in contrast, isn't as androphobic as her, but she's definitely not as straight, either. Tatsukichi enjoys dressing up as a woman, and displays some dissociative tendencies as manifested in his "ojou" persona. Noa is extremely maladjusted thanks to Child Prodigy exploitations during her childhood, and definitely has a complex about her appearance. Yukinojo, Noa's pedophilic admirer, goes on a rampage whenever he senses she decides to use some growth pills that turn her into a lady befitting her age. Mio spent most of her childhood in and out of hospitals, or at least bedridden, and so isn't the best at interacting with others. Worse still, it looks like she's starting to enjoy her "treatments" for Taro. Michiru enjoys taking pictures of cute girls, especially when they're in costumes, and her reactions tend to suggest that kind of enjoyment. The Dōmyōji Shop Manager whom Taro's acquainted to in the festival half of the Episode 7 is rabid Otaku with a lusty craze for eroge girls. Kirino Ayasegawa is the ringmaster of Mio's Instant Fan Club... and a viciously fanatic one at that.

Episode 10's second Eyecatch has the shop owner pose with a blue Bardiche, a microphone, and a guitar. Also, an unconscious Taro has a dream of Mio kicking him into the sky and screaming "Looks like I'm blasting off again!" before vanishing into A Twinkle in the Sky. And for some reason, the final scene bears some resemblance to Evangelion, of all things. Interesting...

 MM! / int_96fbeaf
comment
There Are No Therapists Taro's unchecked masochism is the most obvious example; he seems to feel his best option lies in a school club rather than seeking professional help. A more serious case is that of Yuno. Her Attempted Rape left her so androphobic she can't even share a train car with men for fear of close contact, yet no mention of her getting professional counseling is ever made and she relies entirely on Mio and Taro to overcome her phobia.

Fetish: MM! wouldn't be MM! without it. Taro is a masochist. As he describes it, he "totally get[s] off on being cussed out and beaten by women." Mio finds this so objectionable that she makes it her life's mission to cure him of this perversion. It's eventually revealed that Taro's masochism came from when a girl he liked slapped him. Becomes a plot point (as in literal fetish fuel) in episode 5. Specifically, Taro uses a piece of Noa's Mad Scientist tech to transform his perversion into raw power, effectively becoming a Super Saiyan for the duration of the episode. The Domyoji Shop Manager loves his eroge girls.

The Masochism Tango: Mio and Taro have this sort of relationship, considering she's trying to cure him of his masochism by subjecting him to pain. He draws the line at anything that might actually kill him, but Taro seems to quite enjoy being abused, which just drives Mio even further into more extreme versions of her "cures" for his kink.

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male
 MM! / int_c0e3994b
comment
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Justified. Taro gets the ever-loving crap beaten out of him by Mio, the sadistic tsundere who likes using him as a punching bag, and by Arashiko whenever he triggers her androphobia. It's all played for laughs, in part because Taro is a hardcore masochist who loves being hit and actively provokes Mio and Arashiko into beating him. It helps take the sting out of some of the more extreme abuse.

Shout-Out
 MM! / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out Yumi is a subtle nod to Kenshiro: she's a practitioner and successor to a martial art style that causes pain and pleasure to her opponents with a single finger, much like Hokuto Shinken. She even assumes his Tenha Kasattsu stance when she is about to punish the girlfriend beating loser Yoshioka at the end of Episode 3. She also has a tendency to use Kenshiro's high-pitched Bruce Lee style Kiai when she rapidly strike the pressure points of her enemies with her fingers. Finally, her surname "Mamiya" also happens to be the name of the love interest of Kenshiro's best friend Rei. Perhaps one to Eden of the East in the beginning of episode 4. In Episode 5, Mio dresses up as Louise with a wizard hat. The episode also features a Kamen Rider belt that turns the user into a Super Saiyan. Also, after all students in the school have been turned into perverts, there's a scene of two girls confessing their love for each other in a style nearly ripped straight off Maria Watches Over Us. In the opening, figures of Manaka, Azusa, Miharu and Asuka can be seen. The first three share the same seiyuu as Mio. Episode 6 for Mio donning Sheryl's concert clothes. Episode 7 brings back the Super Saiyan Kamen Rider belt and Fist of the North Star. Episode 8 features Himura paraphrasing Raoh's Last Words, Taro dressing up a la Tuxedo Mask, and Taro and Noa flirting by dropping Pretty Cure references at each other. The opening of Episode 9 has Hatsune Miku and Black★Rock Shooter viewed from the back. Also, at the start of the episode, there's a very obvious color-swapped Miku holding an equally color-swapped leek, and a Ruri Dakimakura. Episode 10's second Eyecatch has the shop owner pose with a blue Bardiche, a microphone, and a guitar. Also, an unconscious Taro has a dream of Mio kicking him into the sky and screaming "Looks like I'm blasting off again!" before vanishing into A Twinkle in the Sky. And for some reason, the final scene bears some resemblance to Evangelion, of all things. Interesting... Episode 12 has the shop owner visiting the cake store, ordering cake for himself, and spare ribs for his Nozomu figure.

A God Am I: Played for laughs. Mio fits into the "kamidere" archetype; a character who acts like they're above everyone else, no matter who they are. Once, Mio literally referred to herself as God while attempting to cure Taro's perversion, and calls herself his "personal deity" a few times. She also refers to herself as "Lady Mio" and acts like everyone else isn't worth her time. However, she turns out to be a Type A Tsundere after all of her attempts at curing Taro's masochism end up making her like him when she sees he's a decent fellow underneath it all.

Attempted Rape
 MM! / int_f85354eb
comment
A more serious case is that of Yuno. Her Attempted Rape left her so androphobic she can't even share a train car with men for fear of close contact, yet no mention of her getting professional counseling is ever made and she relies entirely on Mio and Taro to overcome her phobia.

Running Gag: Every time Taro accidently touches Arashiko, she'll beat him up. Taro, being a masochist, enjoys every second of it.

Lover Tug of War: Episode 4 has Arashiko and Mio doing this with Taro as they argue over him. With real tug ropes to boot.

Smashing Watermelons

comment
Smashing Watermelons: Occurs in the Beach Episode, only the watermelon is Taro's head. He draws the line at that, because even though he's a masochist, he's not about to have his head split open with a wooden sword.
