| Acid Town (Manga) | comment |
Acid Town is manga created by Kyuugou and published by Gentosha, which began serialization in 2008. The manga has not been licensed in English, but it has been licensed in French by Taifu Comics, and in German by Carlsen Manga.Yuki would do anything for his little brother, even steal from the Yakuza. Yuki and his friend Tsudo are caught trying to steal from the Seidoukai headquarters by Hyodo, who offers to let them go, and even pay for Yuki's little brother's hospital bills, if they can strike a deal. The deal is that Yuki must visit Hyodo weekly. It's not long before Yuki gets embroiled in a turf war by shady characters from his past who want to use him as a pawn against Hyodo.Quite unusual for a Boys' Love title, the series takes a rather serious tone and focuses more on the story-telling than on the feelings of the protagonists or the sex, scenes of which being few and far-between. | |

Rape as Drama | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: One thing that makes the criminal gangs such a Crapsack World is their willingness to participate in sex slavery. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The Yakuza, full stop. Where nearly everyone's involved in violence in some way, where people are sold into being "prostitutes", and where there is always a Mob War brewing. In a more general sense of the outside world, Japan seems to be Just Before the End or After the End in the story. Much of the city the story is set in is in a dilapidated, poor condition, and there's several references by the characters to the military seeking to begin another war. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Hyodo is a yakuza, with all that entails. Nevertheless, despite having plenty of opportunities, he doesn't rape Yuki or buy his services, and apparently seems to avoid sex with him in his weekly visits. True, he's engaging in the man on man version of Wife Husbandry, but he doesn't seem to plan on rape, and rapists seem to be a Berserk Button for him. | |

| Acid Town (Manga) / int_35543514 | comment |
Just Eat Gilligan: Both times Yuki tried to kill Ashiei, even if caught by legitimate authorities and even in the context of the yakuza, he would have been more than justified. Instead, he refuses out of Stockholm syndrome and being a Technical Pacifist, causing himself and his friends far more problems than if he'd just gone through with it. | |

Boys' Love: It's yaoi, and the extreme violence and dark themes and constant angst mean it's definitely not for minors, but if you're coming here for lots of graphic sex, you will be disappointed. The sex is pretty much kept at "cable TV show" level, with no explicit penetration, and no visible genitalia, and is (aside from Reiji and Masatsugu) mostly angsty Fan Disservice. | |

Unrequited Love: Ashiei had it bad for Yuki's late mom, Tsubaki. He attacks Yuki and tells him that he's nothing but a sign of his mom's betrayal to him. His final words are her name. Tetsu for Yuki, so far, unsurprisingly given Yuki's sexual trauma. | |

Technical Pacifist: Yuki - he's threatening enough, he has no qualms with stealing or with beating/stabbing/shooting someone within an inch of their life, but he is afraid to stain his hands with being an actual killer. It's actually a deconstruction of it that shows exactly why pacifism can become a weakness exploited by those willing to do so. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Black-and-Gray Morality: There are very few people who would qualify as "good" (Jun, Hisako, and possibly Tetsu and Yuki if you overlook some of their activities) Hyodo is a "honorable yakuza," refusing to be involved with sex slavery, his Jail Bait Wait and waiting for/trying to get Yuki to develop genuine feelings for him instead of raping him or buying him, and his joining with Tetsu in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Wang, that seems to be setting up for future chapters. Most of the characters are varying from "venal, petty violent criminals" to pure evil. | |

One Degree of Separation | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_959cb9aa | comment |
One Degree of Separation: Oh, so much. Let's begin, shall we? Tsubaki and Ryuuji are Yuki's parents. They and Hyodo were a trio of friends in the past. Tsubaki had a child with Ashiei named Jun, Yuki's stepbrother Ashiei is Tsubaki's childhood friend, Jun's father, Yuki's stepfather, and the bastard brother of Wang. He sold Yuki into prostitution to Wang. Wang is a former customer of Yuki and new head of the Triad family that opposes Masatsugu and Hyodo. Hyodo is Yuki's godfather and the benefactor/friend of Ryouji, Yuki and Tetsu's landlord. Tetsu, Ryouji, and Riko came from the same orphanage. Reiji, surrogate brother to Masatsugu, is working with Wang and is being tracked down by Hyodo, Masatsugu's second-in-command. Hisako and Jun are in the same hospital. Masatsugu is Hyodo's boss, Ryuuji's friend, Reiji's lover, and surrogate brother to Reiji and Hisako. Ryuuji (Yuki's dad) is childhood friends with Reiji. Reiji later learns he's Ryuuji's half-brother, making him Yuki's uncle. Masatsugu's dad killed Reiji and Hisako's dad (also Ryuuji's dad; Ryuuji was the child of a foreign woman) in a turf war and adopted the two out of respect for his old friendship with their father. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Ashiei, while he's only Jun's dad, Yuki was under his care after his mom died, and Ashiei did some pretty horrible things to him; like raping him and selling him into prostitution. Yuki's grandparents also qualify since they sold their daughter, Tsubaki, into prostitution. | |

Rape and Revenge | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_b2b2093c | comment |
Rape and Revenge: Yuki, when realizing Ashiei is seeking him again, decides on revenge as his course of action instead of running any more. This is not a good idea. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Paired with Defensive Failure, Idiot Ball, Violence is the Only Option, and a deconstruction of Technical Pacifist. When Wang rescues Yuki from Ashiei, he hands Yuki the gun he fired a nonfatal shot with after reloading it, telling Yuki to finish him off. Had Yuki done so, then turned the gun on Wang and shot him, he would have escaped both, and ended the budding Mob War by killing the head of one of the warring parties. | |

Fan Disservice | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_c660bc15 | comment |
Fan Disservice: Yuki being treated as a whore.. Seems to be intentional Fan Disservice at that - these scenes are about as "sexy" as an episode of Law & Order: SVU. For very, very good reason. | |

| Acid Town (Manga) / int_ceec4df5 | comment |
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: What Hyodo and Tetsu seem to be planning as of the last time we see them in the story - an assault on Wang and his allies with the objective of saving Yuki and putting an end to Wang and his syndicate. What appears to be Reiji's motivation, he wants to destroy the world that took his loved ones away. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: Hyodo has been looking for Yuki since Tsubaki died, and he finally finds Yuki when the boys try to rob his headquarters. We later find out that Hyodo is actually Ryouji's benefactor, who has been Yuki's landlord for about two years. Another somewhat contrived coincidence is Reiji meeting Jun in the hospital. | |

Start of Darkness | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_e0040f41 | comment |
Start of Darkness: Made clear with Reiji's backstory. The reason he's so set on destroying the Seidoukai is because Masatsugu's dad killed his father, molestest his sister, impregnated her, and presumably lead to her suicide attempt. | |

Love Makes You Evil | |
| Acid Town (Manga) / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil: Ashiei was already pretty bad, but he seemed to have gotten worse after Yuki's mom refused to love him. This is also probably why Masatsugu is helping Reiji in his revenge, even though it means destroying his organization and betraying people who depend and trust him. | |

Pet the Dog: Hidetsugu was known to be a very merciless man, but he had a couple of Pet the Dog moments, like picking up Hyodo from the street, and taking care of Reiji and Hisoko after their parents died. Reiji also has a moment like this when he meets Jun in the hospital. | |
