Bitter Virgin (Manga) | comment |
Bitter Virgin is a seinen manga by Kei Kusunoki, which ran in Young Gangan from 2005 to 2008.When it comes to men, Hinako Aikawa has problems — problems which she confesses to an empty and abandoned church. Unbeknownst to her, her classmate, local casanova Daisuke Suwa, was hiding in said church to dodge his henpecking Childhood Friend Yuzu Yamamoto and his wanna-be girlfriend Kazuki Ibuse. At first he tries to shoo Hinako away, but eventually relents. He expects to hear a minor confession, and instead receives the shock of his life in learning of years of abuse Hinako suffered. Sexual abuse from her stepfather that got her pregnant not once, but twice, and resulted in at least one birth to a child one year prior, when Hinako was fifteen.Despite initial denial, Daisuke is forced to accept his classmate has indeed suffered these horrors. As a result, even though Hinako was the one girl Daisuke had said he would pass on, he finds himself unable to stop thinking about her. He begins to watch out for her, protect her, and inevitably fall in love with her. The main obstacles he faces in pursuit of this newfound love are Kazuki's jealousy and Hinako's own difficulties around men. For her part, Hinako herself has managed to develop feelings towards Daisuke, but is unsure if he would accept her past... Therefore, the story of Bitter Virgin by Kei Kusunoki follows the two protagonists as they work through their issues and gradually come to understand one another.Kusunoki reveals, in the last volume, that most of the manga was inspired by her own stillbirth; fortunately, she had two healthy kids afterward. | |

Accidental Declaration of Love: Daisuke has feelings for Hinako Aizawa. Unfortunately, the girl has been so abused by her stepfather that the only thing allowing any kind of relationship between them is the fact that Daisuke hasn't expressed any of that romantic interest in her. Then Daisuke wakes up from a nap to find Hinako standing over him, decides he's dreaming, and blurts out that he loves her. The incident very nearly scares her off. | |

Chivalrous Pervert | |
Bitter Virgin (Manga) / int_30de7a51 | comment |
Chivalrous Pervert: Daisuke again, though the "pervert" aspect is toned down very quickly, most likely for Hinako's sake on his part. In the first chapter, he freely admits to wanting to "mess around", and seems to look forward to university mostly for the, er, social aspect, but he leaps into White Knight mode after hearing Hinako's story, which disturbs him to no end. | |

Please, Don't Leave Me: Hinako's mother begged Hinako not to move away after she gave birth, desperately apologizing for not believing her about the sexual abuse. The story was set in motion when Hinako ignored her pleas and moved to Daisuke's town. That said, their relationship isn't completely damaged, as her mom seems to call regularly to make sure she's doing okay. | |

False Rape Accusation | |
Bitter Virgin (Manga) / int_3763bcf8 | comment |
False Rape Accusation: Kazuki threatens Daisuke to state that he raped her if he does not go out with her. He still refuses. However he becomes horrified when Hinako walks in and Kazuki (who damaged her own clothing) claims that he raped her, expecting that she would hate him due to her own abuse of being raped. This becomes subverted in its own way as because of her own experiences of abuse, she knows how a rape victim would feel and her knowledge there is no way Daisuke would ever try to rape or abuse anyone, makes her call out Kazuki on her lying without a second thought. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Hinako and Daisuke are together at the end. Kazuki and Yuzu accept this and step aside. But no one, including the couple themselves, expects the relationship to last, both of them feeling the other could do better, although thankfully it's left up in the air and really depends on what you think will happen. | |

Convenient Miscarriage: Subverted. There is nothing convenient about the miscarriages in this series. Hinako's first pregnancy by rape in her early teens miscarried then required an abortion to remove the dead fetus and was extremely painful both physically and emotionally, and Izumi losing her baby during birth was even worse. Understandable as the creator wrote this after she herself lost her baby and was still grieving. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Subverted by Yuzu, when she initially makes an attempt to turn Daisuke from Hinako, but eventually played straight that Daisuke truly cares about her. Daisuke, throughout the manga. He gradually comes to develop a crush on Hinako, but resolves himself to secrecy when she flat-out tells him the reason she's relatively comfortable with him is that he doesn't see her "as a woman". He spends most of the manga terrified that she'll fear him if she finds out he's in love with her. | |

Epiphany Therapy: Well and truly averted. The road to recovery is long and hard indeed for Hinako, and Daisuke frequently says that he can't expect to ever heal or even completely understand her pain - all he can do is support her in any way he can. Even at the end of the manga, she admits to Daisuke that she's still afraid of him, but she's on her way. | |

Bitter Virgin (Manga) / int_71e8a5c5 | comment |
Trauma Conga Line: Oh Hinako. First she loses her father at a very young age, then she is continually raped by her stepfather starting from the age of 12 or 13, slapped and called a liar by her mother when she tries to tell her, impregnated, suffers a (painful) abortion, impregnated again by her stepfather, and has to undergo C-section to deliver the baby, whom she never sees before he is given up for adoption (and the thought of whom continues to haunt her). She lives alone for a year after her second pregnancy with no-one to support or care for her, despite her horrible trauma (and likely undiagnosed PTSD), and spends her school days in isolation, which is only broken when Kazuki and her gang begin to bully her after Daisuke begins showing interest in her. Oh yeah, and she was attacked, beaten and nearly raped again by a whole other pervert. | |

Bitter Virgin (Manga) / int_723be11b | comment |
Villain Has a Point: Maybe he doesn't exactly earn the title of "villain", but when Yamamoto grabs Hinako in the final chapter, setting himself up pretty nicely as one more in a long line of abusive bastards, he makes her realise that, without intending to, understandable though her reaction was, she has truly hurt the feelings of some of the guys in her class. | |

Totally Trusting Love Interest | |
Bitter Virgin (Manga) / int_7a9820d2 | comment |
Totally Trusting Love Interest: Played with a touch of tragedy. The bond between protagonists Daisuke and Hinako has developed to the point where, when Attention Whore Kazuki tries to claim that Daisuke raped her, Hinako flat out calls her a liar, telling her Daisuke would never do such a thing. The touch of tragedy comes from the other reason she knows Kazuki's lying: she knows from firsthand experience that Kazuki is far too calm and collected to have been a rape victim. | |

Kazuki is a milder example; some of her treatment of Daisuke, especially the false rape accusation, would generally be enough to warrant police attention, let alone that of the school authorities. However, this is sadly also Truth In Manga, because women and girls getting off scott-free for making false rape accusations is far from unheard of. | |

Possibly some Values Dissonance at play. In Japan, the high school one gets into matters more than the distance from where they live. It's not unusual for students to live independently from their family if the commute is too long. Also, with how highly stigmatized the topic of mental health is in that country, finding any kind of help for that level of trauma would be incredibly difficult. | |

Rape Leads to Insanity | |
Bitter Virgin (Manga) / int_a2bff6bc | comment |
Rape Leads to Insanity: On the border in some ways. While Hinako is far from "insane", she quite understandably suffers from a number of psychological problems, including androphobianote fear of men, male-specific haphephobianote fear of touch, gymnophobianote fear of being seen nude(due to her scar in this case), and learned helplessnessnote a tendency to shut down and let bad things happen as a result of repeatedly being unable to stop similar trauma in the past. Though Hinako at one point says that immediately following rape a person would not be completely calm and in control, the manga doesn't really suggest that lacking these problems would make her less of a victim; it simply makes clear that none of these things should be at all surprising in the wake of such prolonged abuse. | |

What You Are in the Dark: When Izumi and Kazuki meet, Izumi gets a labor pain and Kazuki gets concerned; this proves to Izumi that Kazuki isn't overly cruel but just clingy to Daisuke. Later on things get more significant: Kazuki blackmails Daisuke into a date, but sees that he's unhappy and still thinking of Hinako and lets him off, apologizing for what she did. Near the end of the story, she tells Daisuke about another attack on Hinako. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male | |
Bitter Virgin (Manga) / int_c0e3994b | comment |
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Kazuki and Daisuke's relationship isn't the worst example, but her abuse of him (stalking, verbal abuse, harassment, false accusations, manipulation, etc) is treated as nothing more than an annoyance by most of the characters. Izumi seems to be the only character with anywhere near the appropriate attitude to this behaviour. Particularly off-putting when one considers that the story as a whole revolves around Hinako's attempts to recover from abuse. The series also counts as this towards its Spear Counterpart Girls Saurus, which plays Shingo's gynophobia for comedy. | |

If It's You, It's Okay: Hinako comes around to the fact that she feels fine, and in fact is in love, if it's Daisuke. Mind you, it does take some time and even brushing across another guy still causes her to freak out. At first she was okay with Daisuke because she heard him loudly declare how he would never be interested in a girl like her. By the time she does start hanging around him, he is already unable to not be interested in her. | |

Moment of Weakness: When Hinako obliviously drops a Just Friends on Daisuke, he angrily blurts out he knows her dark secret. Lucky for all involved, she wasn't listening to him at that precise moment. He still feels horrible for even doing so afterwards. Same with his childhood friend Yuzu, she accidentally overhears Hinako's dark secret. At first she is willing to keep it to herself but after hearing that Daisuke has already confessed to her, she blurts it out. She feels utterly horrified at herself when she discovers that not only is Hinako right behind her, but that Daisuke already knew. | |

Follow in My Footsteps: Despite Daisuke's vehement refusal, Nana Suwa can't quite let go of her hope that he'll take over the restaurant. (Prior to Izumi's departure, she got the same spiel.) | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: Kazuki finally admits defeat on learning that Daisuke knew Hinako's past all along and still fell in love in her. Not that it stops her from waiting for them to break up. | |

Bitter Virgin (Manga) / int_e2f5760 | comment |
House Husband: Definitely in Daisuke's future. Years of helping out at his mother's restaurant have made him a fantastic cook, and (at least where Hinako is concerned), he won't accept any help with domestics, either! | |

Brain Bleach: Unsettling images of what may have happened to Hinako find their way into a disturbed Daisuke's head several times. His reaction is usually a standard "Don't think about that!" | |

Nobody Thinks It Will Work: In the final chapter. While Yuzu and Kazuki give up their pursuit of Daisuke, they do so feeling that he and Hinako are bound to break up sooner or later, leaving things open for them to try again. If only because Daisuke's mother will eventually find out about Hinako's history, despise her for it, and try to separate them. Meanwhile, Daisuke and Hinako themselves believe that the other will eventually find a more suitable partner, but hope to make the most of their relationship until then. | |
