Mad Love	comment	When Alice loves Bob and there is nothing anyone can do — not even Bob — to persuade her that their love isn't mutual. This is not just All Love Is Unrequited or Oblivious to Love. Bob is well aware of this one-sided crush, but his protests fall on deaf ears. He can tell Alice he isn't interested, sometimes violently, but she invariably fails to catch on. Her behavior often straddles the line between Clingy Jealous Girl, Stalker with a Crush or even Psycho Supporter, but she generally means no harm to Bob and also respects his ideals. If she does start becoming an actual threat to Bob or other people close to him though, then beware... If Alice has terrible taste in suitors (and she usually does), then her "hubby" or "wifey" will abuse that unconditional love to further their crazy schemes and never hesitate to betray her if they fail, or if she gets too whiny. Y'know, because whining can cause headaches and stuff. And of course, the innocent (or more like oblivious) Alice will come trotting back for more punishment. If she has two neurons bobbing around in her skull, she'll be puzzled that her hubby/wifey has a "funny way" of showing love. If she has more than three, she'll eventually realize that Mr. Troubled, but Cute is just plain Trouble and move on, but she'll find it hard to resist falling back to him. Expect Alice to be a headache for anyone in the center of a Love Triangle or Love Dodecahedron involving Bob. Third parties trying to convince her that she should move on will face replies like "You're Just Jealous" and other psychological barriers to reality and sanity. Either gender can be a Mad Lover, for a beloved of either gender. It's just more common to have females in the role because this is often a comedy trope, and a clueless woman clinging to an exasperated man is much funnier than the reverse. Some writers adore this dynamic and like to keep the 'relationship' alive by giving Alice an occasional moment of affection from Bob, just to make everyone wonder what's really going on. Compare Crazy in the Head, Crazy in the Bed, for someone whose madness adds to their sexual appeal. See also Hopeless Suitor and Rejection Affection, for less crazy examples of unrequited love from which this trope borrows some elements from. Compare with the more serious Love Martyr, a character in an unhealthy relationship whose love is meant to be selfless and noble (or at least sympathetic) instead of crazy, funny, and/or stupid. May overlap with Abhorrent Admirer or its Sub-Trope Attempted Homewrecker if the target of obsession j is in a relationship. Also compare Minion Shipping, Unholy Matrimony, and Fetishized Abuser. Contrast with Vitriolic Best Buds, where this involves friends and may be mutual. Not to be confused with the short-lived TV series starring Jason Biggs and Judy Greer, also not to be confused with the 1935 film Mad Love, which doesn't use this trope or the Batman: The Animated Series episode.

Getting impaled results in her holding him close, licking his eyeball, and happily proclaiming her fondness for him as well as their similarity. Getting sliced in half and thrown off the top of a building results in an outright Love Confession while Laughing Mad. Mutsuki's growing Sanity Slippage and psychotic tendencies become with the realization that they love Sasaki/Kaneki and are jealous of Touka. Kaneki refuses to be with Mutsuki and returns to the CCG with them. Not accepting refusal, Mutsuki promptly gets out their knives laced with rc suppressor drug and attacks Kaneki to render him powerless so they may take him back with them by force and tries to murder Touka the one who has Kaneki's love.

Neither rain, nor snow, nor repeated knocks into the stratosphere or blows to the head will deter him. His sister Kodachi also partially qualifies for her pursuit of boy-type Ranma, but before the end of the manga admits that she knows he doesn't love her. Note that this doesn't actually stop her. And of course, one must mention Mousse, who pursues Shampoo past all common sense... And Shampoo, in her pursuit of Ranma. Ryoga almost qualifies in his pursuit of Akane, he's just smart enough to hide it and take the stalker route instead.

Justified in that the second woman was suffering from Domestic Abuse-induced Stockholm Syndrome — she knew she shouldn't go back to him, but he'd cut off every other contact in her life so that she couldn't see any means of successfully escaping him.

Mad Love / int_25f6f1a0	comment	Umineko: When They Cry: The backstory in a nutshell, at least as Beatrice tells it — man summons witch, man falls in love with witch, witch doesn't love him, man traps witch on island, witch dies-ish, man can no longer see witch, man decides to kill entire family in order to revive witch (though that last part isn't true since he's been dead for over a year before the story begins) and spends most of his time screaming at the sky. Love? Depends on your definition, but definitely mad. Later in the series, we discover that the truth behind this is far worse: Man meets woman, they fall in love, man keeps woman as his mistress in a hidden mansion, they have a daughter but the woman dies, daughter grows up to look so much like her mother that her father forces himself on her, daughter becomes pregnant and has a child but dies not long after, man still spends most of his time screaming at the sky until he finally meets that lost child. And dies. And then that lost child becomes the secret master of the island and also becomes crazy because of love.

The situation between the two of them gets increasingly murky but for the first two thirds of the show, it's very clear that Giorgio is not interested in Fosca and tells her so several times but absolutely nothing he says or does is enough to deter her.

He's confident that the object of his desire is just "playing hard to get." Penelope Pussycat, Pepe's reluctant love interest, has shown on three separate occasions to be way more aggressive and passionate than Pepe. Incidentally, those shorts that show how much of a spitfire an interested Penelope can be suggested that Pepe's scent is literally the only thing driving her away; sad, then, that Pepe is intimidated by assertive women and rapidly loses interest as soon as one or both of them does something to take his smell out of the equation.

He doesn't have it so clearly bad in the anime, though he is utterly devoted and Knives sends him to his death, but manga Legato...alas, poor monster. The fact that Knives doesn't care about him is sad. The fact that he is perfectly aware that after trying to have Vash killed any chance of Knives ever liking him is gone, is very sad. The fact that despite how shittily Knives treats him no one else ever treated him nearly as well is just tragic. Like the Rurouni Kenshin example above, this Big Bad's minions include two who are madly in love with him. Also, much blood and horror, and Legato is totally unhinged for most of Maximum.

Then again, as Lenore is a 10-year-old girl who died roughly a century prior to the start of the comics, the Mad Love may be the least disturbed part of his interest in her.

Later, he does come to develop feelings for her and when he told her he reciprocated her love, she responded by tying him to a chair and keeping him drugged for an entire week, to ensure that he'd stay "safe". It is worth noting that, despite being as reasonably sane as is humanly possible while also being capable of massacring orphans (It Makes Sense in Context), he's still with her after escaping from the chair.

She's hopelessly devoted to Dr. Frank N Furter despite the fact that he views her as nothing more than his "groupie". Columbia later realizes that Frank doesn't give a damn about her and totally chews his ass out for it.

"Stupid bitch." Though, he does say it in a way that hints that he did feel somewhat sorry for her.

Mad Love / int_58713966	comment	In As You Like It, this is the way that ALL the pairs of lovers behave, except for Touchstone & Audrey. It's the more innocent incarnation of the trope, where the issues arise because of Rosalind's gender-bending disguise. She gives herself the name "Ganymede" while disguised. Rosalind likes Orlando, Phoebe falls in love with Ganymede, Silvius likes Phoebe: Hilarity Ensues. Although the word "abuse" gets used in the dialog, nothing the characters do would actually qualify under a modern-day definition of that word: apparently in William Shakespeare's day, the meaning was considerably weaker. There is a very clear distinction made between the actually abusive behavior of Orlando's brother Oliver and the way that Ganymede mocks his lovesick behavior. In her disguise, Rosalind (as Ganymede) pretends to do a kind of conversion therapy on Orlando: but it's really an elaborate pretext to flirt with him. There is also a scene where Rosalind (as Ganymede) has to fend off an overly affectionate Phoebe: but again, nobody is actually getting hurt here. All that ends up happening is a LOT of Les Yay.

Leaving the fact that she's a Transgender woman (coming from Word of God, and here's◊ the proof◊), she has a tendency to do anything to get Sebastian's attention. This makes her useful for the other main characters, especially Ciel, who promises her alone time with Sebastian in return for help. Sebastian does not seem too fond of this idea when he finds out, and as far as the anime shows, he manages to avoid her. Oh, and did we mention she's a death god and Sebastian's a Demon? Yeah, this a very strange relationship indeed. Grelle has it for William, too.

At most, Jean thinks heâ€™s attractive but is in love with and devoted to Scott -â€“ a fact she makes abundantly clear to Logan. Logan, on the other hand, pursues her relentlessly, including a Forceful Kiss in the second film. It appears he's come to accept she loved Scott not him following her Heroic Sacrifice at the end of X2: X-Men United. Only for X-Men: The Last Stand to show that is not the case culminating in him giving her a Dying Declaration of Love before killing her. The Wolverine, shows he has turned into a hermit following her death and has been having both nightmares about it and romantic dreams about her (sometimes combined) in the years since. This movie ends with him telling her dream form that heâ€™ll always love her and finally moving on. Then X-Men: Days of Future Past reveals that, nope, his memories of Jean are still his most prominent ones 20 or so years after her death and roughly 10 years after him â€œmoving on.â€� All this despite only knowing her for about five days total.

Still, Togami isn't above taking advantage of Fukawa's almost slavish devotion towards him when he sees fit. It's at least strongly hinted that Genocider Syo's murders were all motivated by her becoming infatuated with the victims, all 37 of them.

Mad Love / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Harley Quinn and Joker from Batman. The trope-naming comic "Mad Love" from The Batman Adventures, which was later adapted into a The New Batman Adventures episode of the same name, tells how Dr. Harleen Quinzel, then a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, first met the Joker. The Joker saw her immediately as a tool to be used and manipulated her into becoming a henchman. However, at the climax, Joker tosses Harley out a 3rd story window for getting the upper hand on Batman without him, and she blames herself she "didn't get the joke".note Not that the Joker didn't decide her idea was good after she'd been taken out of the picture. What really angered him was that he didn't want to hear from other villains that she did what he couldn't — something Bats points out, of course. Cut to Arkham at the end of the episode with a heavily-bandaged Quinn vowing in her normal voice that her life of crime is over since she now sees the Joker for what he is: "a murderous, manipulative, irredeemable..." — at which point she spots a rose sitting in her cell with a note of apology from Mr. J, causing her to smile and dreamily say "Angel!" in Harley's voice. Definitely chilling, and worth a watch. Even more so in the comic, Dr. Leeland asks Harley what it felt like to be treated so poorly after all she's done. Harley notices the rose and says "Like a kiss" which is all the more disturbing. (In fact, it's a Shout-Out to the 1962 The Crystals song, "He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)".) According to Bruce Timm, the Joker really does need her, saying, "Everyone's seen the Joker laugh. Harley is the only one who's seen him cry." You can see it too, when she runs off with Ivy, the man can't even find his socks. At one point, after yet another incident when the Joker nearly kills her, Ivy freaks out in frustration and demands to know if Harley understands what just happened, and Harley tells her that yes, she knows he was trying to kill her. In Death of the Family, Harley Quinn has gone back to the Joker's side, and she even set herself up as a convincing decoy for Batman to go after at the Ace Chemical Plant. Played with, turns out she's not there solely out of loyalty to the Joker (and even states that he's not her Mr. J anymore, and outright attacks him); she's there because Joker threatened to desecrate Deadshot's corpse. Also, the Joker's mad that she got together with Deadshot, and it's one of two reasons he's going after her at all. Played with when it comes to the Joker's other partner, Punchline (created as "the anti-Harley Quinn"). Her bond with the Joker is less emotional than Harley's and more intellectual: she knows he's a sociopath, knows he won't change, and yet she thinks his philosophy is the bee's knees. As a result, Joker offers her more respect than he offered Harley, praising her when she comes up with a particularly brilliant plan and never yelling at or hitting her. However, Punchline still has a jealous streak when it comes to Harley, and cover artists seem to enjoy having her cuddled up against the Joker.

She can only ever see him as the Troubled, but Cute, Lovable Rogue who will always, incidentally, be ranked lower than she that she first met. He outright uses this to manipulate her into helping him to rise both politically and financially within the realm over almost two decades. Until he reaches a position where he can start a massive civil-war... just because he couldn't have the actual woman he loved (aka — her sister, Catelyn), after which he eventually murders the "poor", deluded Lysa. This was partly because she was becoming increasingly and more dangerously Yandere on him, but also because she was no longer of any further use to him. Additionally, he had found a much younger Replacement Goldfish (who happens to be her 13-year-old niece, Sansa, who closely resembles Catelyn... at about the age Petyr first fell for Cat, squickily enough). It's Mad Love: the deadly quadrilateral headache — featuring some extra, hot mess Squick on quite a few sides.

Unlike other versions, this series starts with Harley getting much needed help from Poison Ivy to finally open her eyes to the truth that the Joker cares for no one but himself and Batman, which leads to Harley breaking up with him for good. Much of the rest of the show is her trying to move on, avoid relapsing and understand what a real loving relationship looks like.

Played with, turns out she's not there solely out of loyalty to the Joker (and even states that he's not her Mr. J anymore, and outright attacks him); she's there because Joker threatened to desecrate Deadshot's corpse. Also, the Joker's mad that she got together with Deadshot, and it's one of two reasons he's going after her at all.

Lorena loves every second of it, and dreamily says "Oh William, I so love you."

Mad Love / int_eef5470a	comment	Rurouni Kenshin: A tragic take on his is the relationship between Shishio Makoto and Komagata Yumi. She was his retainer and caretaker, always frustrated because she wasn't an Action Girl and knew battles were the more important thing that her Magnificent Bastard boyfriend cared for, so she didn't mind even being run through by him with his sword so he could win. And Shishio actually cared for Yumi as much as someone like him could, defending her when a shocked and horrified Kenshin questioned what had just happened and cradling Yumi's fatally injured body in his arms so she could die in peace... before he died his Karmic Death. Then they go off to take over Hell together afterward! It's sweet! (No, really, this actually happens. They even wait for Hoji, his administrative assistant with a man-crush, to commit suicide and catch up with them, too.) Kamatari had it even worse, though I don't think either case with Shishio really applies â€“ he was quite happy to have them around, he's just All Take and No Give. This is because he's a crossdresser and, though hardly gender-queer at all (he laughs and flashes Misao when she mistakes him for a woman), and is perfectly aware that he's not the strongest or the most beautiful retainer, and can't compete for Shishio's attention on either field. Even if Shishio liked guys, he'd have probably gone for Soujiro. Ow, Brain Bleach, please.
