Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Asami and Akihito; although it takes until the Naked Truth arc for them to realize that they hold some form of attachment to the other. And even then, it takes until the end of the Pray in the Abyss arc for them to finally reconcile with the fact that they have fallen in love with each other. | |

Erotic Asphyxiation: In the epilogue of the Naked Truth arc, Asami and Akihito have sex while the former chokes the latter as a means of replacing the bruises Akihito got from being strangled by Yuri. | |

Rape as Drama: Fei Long violates Akihito to get back at Asami, then kidnaps him and takes him to Hong Kong, where he keeps Akihito as his boytoy. Asami is duly pissed. Things only get worse from there, especially for Akihito. | |

Exactly What I Aimed At | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_17122b19 | comment |
Exactly What I Aimed At: Both Asami and Fei Long shoot at each other several times but never manage to murder the other. Given the fact that both of them are perfect shots, their claims of wanting to kill the other are quickly revealed to be obvious lies. The first volume even has Fei Long deliberately missing both Akihito and Asami three times, even though he could have easily shot dead both of them then and there, making it clear that the only reason both of them lived to go on telling their tale was because Fei Long let them. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: It's subtler than most. Majority of the manga's plot is about the feuds between various criminal organizations or the leaders of said organizations, to be more specific. But by the time of the Innocent Eye arc, the nature of the ongoing plot starts to become more akin to a spy action thriller. | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: The mangaka's mastery of the male anatomy is undisputable, but the characters's face design becomes a liability as the supporting cast grows larger since the characters' bone structure remains mostly the same and only the facial hair, scars, glasses or hair color end up being the only distinguishing traits among them. | |

Official Couple Ordeal Syndrome | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_2756af0 | comment |
Official Couple Ordeal Syndrome: Sure, the manga goes full-throttle with the sex from the get-go, but the romance between the two protagonists is surprisingly a slow-burn one, what with their contrasting personalities and backgrounds, as well as the difficulty both have in either reconciling with their feelings or even communicating about it the normal way. It also doesn't help that there are countless people trying to go after one or both of them, which interrupts or delays any time their relationship develops a bit further. Worst of all, when they finally get to sort their feelings out and confess their love for each other in Volume 11, they nearly die from their injuries shortly afterwards... and Akihito ends up with amnesia before being kidnapped and brainwashed. | |

Mistaken for Cheating | |

Mistaken for Cheating: In the Pray in the Abyss arc, both Akihito and Asami worry that the other is having another lover on the side, unaware that the other person is thinking the exact same thing. The trope is Played for Laughs in the extra chapter for Volume 12, where Akihito mistakenly assumes that Asami and Kuroda bumped hips after a few drinks. When Asami realizes that Akihito was suspecting, he quickly shoots down the possibility and even remarks that the three hours they spent in the room after drinking was actually an agonizing time. | |

Friends with Benefits: Although the "friends" part of the trope is highly questionable, it is clear that Akihito and Asami's relationship early on was mostly sexual in nature. It's only halfway through the Naked Truth that feelings even start being part of the equation. | |

Although he's unable to help Akihito remember anything, their clash nevertheless helps him realize that Akihito's memories are still there, albeit buried very deeply in the recesses of his mind. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |

Bittersweet Ending: The entire Pray in the Abyss arc ends on this note, with heavy emphasis on the "bitter". Although Yuri is killed for good and Aaron and Sudou are at least severely wounded, Chernobog is still at large and gets away with the stolen shipment. Then on the main characters' side, while Fei Long and Mikhail survive the shoot-out, both Akihito and Asami come really close to dying from their wounds and are currently comatose in the hospital. Volume 12 has Asami susccessfully rescue Akihito from Simon's clutches, and while Akihito slowly loses his drive to kill Asami, which he was conditioned to do for months, he still has yet to recover his memories, with the author even mentioning that Akihito won't be remembering Asami any time soon. Not to mention, Simon managed to flee and plans to use Sudou as his "trump card", and Aaron is revealed to still be alive (albeit wheelchair-bound). | |

"Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_40e993f4 | comment |
"Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization: Both zigzagged and played straight. Akihito is frequently assaulted by multiple characters (Asami, Fei Long, Sakazaki to name a few) and each have pointed out that Akihito responds to them despite his protests. The zigzag comes from Akihito’s responses to Asami compared to everyone else. With Asami, Akihito does protest but he also acknowledges that he genuinely desires and enjoys what Asami does to him, which serves to be a source of embarrassment and shame for him for a period of time. This trope however is played straight with his interactions with other characters (such as Fei Long and Sakazaki), as Akihito’s protests are genuine and he is revolted by the acts, despite being told that he’s enjoying it. | |

Shoot the Messenger: The Russian mook who informs him that Arbatov has kidnapped Akihito gets turned into a sieve of bullet holes, and even Kirishima seems disturbed by the display of raw emotion. Although it should be noted that Asami only started pulling the trigger after he talks to Akihito over the phone and noticed that something was off, which then enraged him into actually shooting the messenger. | |

Use Your Head: Akihito's hands are tied up when he's captured by Sudou. Once Akihito has had enough of the other man's insanity, he soon retaliates by ramming his head against Sudou and even headbutting him. | |

One Head Taller: The height difference between Akihito and Asami is undoubtable, as both stand at 175 cm and 185 cm, respectively. To a lesser extent, Akihito doesn't stand as tall as Fei Long, whose height is 179 cm. | |

Improvised Weapon: Given his reluctance to use a gun, Akihito employs this trope on more than one occasion. In the Pray in the Abyss arc, Akihito makes use of a frying pan to knock out one of the mooks who was about to shoot Asami. Akihito uses a tea kettle full of hot water to stop Alex from chasing him when fleeing the hotel in the Innocent Eye arc. | |

Even then, he walks into it with open eyes, and only realizes just what kind of trap he's walking into once Akihito seduces him before brandishing a knife at him. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Asami kidnaps and violates Akihito because he took pictures of his club. However, the author did lampshade that the first chapter only happened that way because it was meant to be a one-shot; and she would have written the prologue differently if she knew from the start that Finder Series was going to be a long-running manga. | |

Offstage Waiting Room: The five-month Time Skip of chapter 89 has most characters in one. We only know that Kirishima has been trying to deal with Asami's businesses while his boss was missing and had been searching for him, while Fei Long was searching for both Asami and Akihito. The rest? Not mentioned. Then again, Asami is not much better, as he is forced to stay at his brother's home to recover from his injuries and without any contact to anybody. | |

Meaningful Echo | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_6bd689ca | comment |
Meaningful Echo: Both Akihito and Asami mention at point about how the other's very presence caused their emotions and feelings to be tossed around and left in a turmoil. In the Naked Truth arc, it's Asami who says this to Akihito, and in the Escape and Love arc, it's the other way around. Once they reunite by the end of the Naked Truth arc, both Asami and Akihito confess that they couldn't stop thinking of each other the entire time they were apart. They make a similar confession in the Pray in the Abyss arc after getting stranded on an island, since by then they haven't seen each other in months. When Akihito was still held captive in Hong Kong, Fei Long asked him at one point if Asami ever said that he loves him, to which Akihito was unable to answer because Asami never said such to him. Fifty-or-so chapters later, this changes when after Taking the Bullet for Akihito, Asami straight-up tells him that he loves him before succumbing to his wounds. And for bonus points, he actually says "aishiteru" — which is rarely said in Real Life due to it being a profoundly deep declaration of one's love and affections. | |

Opposites Attract: It's made abundantly clear that Akihito and Asami are from different worlds, and their personalities and outlooks are as different as yin and yang. Sometimes, it's this very aspect that causes a conflict in their relationship, since Akihito is left with doubts about his place in the other man's life. But at the same time, it is because they're like water and fire that they can't help but be drawn to the other. | |

When Asami realizes that Akihito was suspecting, he quickly shoots down the possibility and even remarks that the three hours they spent in the room after drinking was actually an agonizing time. | |

She Will Come for Me: The "won't" variation. While holding Akihito captive in the second chapter, Fei Long wonders out loud what to do with him in order to upset Asami the most. Akihito bitterly remarks that no matter what he does, Asami won't care and appears genuinely surprised when Asami does, in fact, come to rescue him. During the Hong Kong arc, Akihito wonders whether or not Asami will rescue him a second time (or if he's even still alive to do so). | |

| Finder Series (Manga) / int_9400b3b5 | comment |
Questionable Consent: Akihito and Asami's first few encounters always involve a lot of coercion on Asami's part. It does not help matters that Akihito always protests at first, and it’s only the fact that Akihito reluctantly admits to himself that he likes it and the fact that he fantasizes about these encounters when he pleasures himself that makes their initial encounters only questionable consent. It's only during the beginning of the Naked Truth arc does he actually give verbal consent. By the end of the Naked Truth arc, the consent in their sex is no longer questionable since Akihito clearly says out loud that he wants to remain around Asami. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: In the Escape and Love arc, Akihito is presented with the opportunity of getting a good scoop by apprehending the stalker who's been harassing Momohara Ai, and turning him in to the police. The only problem is that the man stole a gun from Asami, and if he is to be surrendered to the authorities, Asami may end up getting implicated as well. The dilemma frustrates Akihito to no end, but the finale of the arc has Asami take the gun from the man in a confrontation, allowing Akihito to get the scoop without the worry of leaving any loose ends. | |

Nothing Is the Same Anymore | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_99dfd4fc | comment |
Nothing Is the Same Anymore: The focus of the Escape and Love arc is Akihito coming to terms with the fact that nothing can ever really come back to normal for him even after he's freed from his life of captivity in Hong Kong. This is especially the case where his relationship with Asami his involved; whatever they have now, it is undoubtedly different from what they had before. | |

Taking the Bullet | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_9ce6492a | comment |
When Akihito was still held captive in Hong Kong, Fei Long asked him at one point if Asami ever said that he loves him, to which Akihito was unable to answer because Asami never said such to him. Fifty-or-so chapters later, this changes when after Taking the Bullet for Akihito, Asami straight-up tells him that he loves him before succumbing to his wounds. And for bonus points, he actually says "aishiteru" — which is rarely said in Real Life due to it being a profoundly deep declaration of one's love and affections. | |

The Masochism Tango | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_ad1ab367 | comment |
The Masochism Tango: Much of the early period of Akihito and Asami’s relationship was built on this. They would cross paths (sometimes during a dangerous situation), Asami would push Akihito to have sex with him, Akihito would outwardly protest but internally desire it and then after sex they would part ways. Asami initially enjoyed this dynamic because he knew that despite fighting him Akihito genuinely desired and enjoyed what they did together, but after the Naked Truth arc the novelty wears off for Asami and he demands to Akihito that he be upfront with him about his feelings and stop acting like he doesn’t want to be with Asami. Akihito does so. | |

Intimate Psychotherapy: In the epilogue of the Naked Truth arc, Akihito is slowly forced to confront the fact that what happened at Hong Kong and at the casino ship has left more than just some physical scars. It eventually culminates in him and Asami having both rough and passionate sex to help the former get over what happened. After the Pray in the Abyss arc, both Fei Long and Mikhail have problems sleeping because of nightmares and are haunted by their pasts. Their attempt at self-therapy leads to some rough, steamy sex. | |

The latter is eventually able to slowly but surely get rid of the younger man's killing intent by giving him meals (which Asami prepared and cooked himself) and letting him eat them at his own pace and time. | |

While Sudou did cause most of the problems the main couple are currently faced with, Sudou at present is nothing more but an amnesiac and lethargic man whose mental capacities are no better than a child's — which cam make it a bit difficult for the reader to witness his beating. | |

Slut-Shaming | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_c972d624 | comment |
Slut-Shaming: At separate instances, both Asami and Fei Long call Akihito a slut for being responsive to their touches; though considering that they drugged him beforehand, it comes across as hypocritical on their parts. The trope takes its toll on Akihito during the Hong Kong arc, during which he wonders how much abuse he can take before breaking down completely. Fei Long gets a similar treatment as well by his adoptive brother Yan Tsui, which is way beyond hypocritical as it was him who made Fei Long use his sex appeal for the benefit of Baishe and the family in the first place— and because his own feelings for Fei Long are far from brotherly. | |

Rivals Team Up | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_e5fbedc6 | comment |
Rivals Team Up: The Pray in the Abyss arc has Asami and Fei Long team up against a Russian anti-government organization that's threatening both their territories. Said teaming-up includes fighting side by side and saving each other's lives, but not without them constantly trading barbs with each other. Later on, Mikhail joins in too. | |

Only a Flesh Wound | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_e663d3ef | comment |
Only a Flesh Wound: Wounds in general seem to do little harm to most characters. With Asami, they certainly don't keep him from having sex in the climax and epilogue of the Naked Truth arc. This is eventually subverted when he nearly dies from his wounds in the Pray in the Abyss arc, and he was forced to be bedridden for a few months while recovering from his injuries. Subverted with Fei Long. The first gun wound nearly kills him, the second leaves him incapacitated and bedridden for days - though psychology might add into this effect. | |

Ambiguous Disorder | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_e8cfde67 | comment |
Ambiguous Disorder: Fei Long seems a bit unstable in the first half of the manga series' plot until he overcomes his traumas. That being said, he is nothing compared to Sudou, who evolves into a madman who is willing to eliminate everyone he hates and deems a nuisance. | |

Angry Collar Grab | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_ea466005 | comment |
Angry Collar Grab: Asami does this once to both Akihito and Fei Long, respectively, on two separate occasions. For the former, it was when Akihito confessed that he leaked vital information to Fei Long in exchange for his friends' safety; and for the latter, it was when Fei Long remarked that the distance Asami is putting between him and Akihito might end up straining their relationship. | |

Together in Death | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_f6624c30 | comment |
Together in Death: Invoked at the conclusion of the shoot-out of the Pray in the Abyss arc where Asami shields Akihito from a potentially fatal bullet right before declaring his feelings for him. Akihito tells Asami that he loves him too and, before both seemingly fall to their deaths, Akihito shoots Sudou. But as the aftermath proves, both aren't dead, just comatose. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_f7d4f121 | comment |
Mushroom Samba: In a (non-canon) short story during the time Akihito and Asami were stranded on an island, they encountered some poisonous mushrooms that make them have crazy hallucinations about driving to a resort and acting like newlyweds on a honeymoon. They're as baffled as the reader is once they snap out of it. | |

Not Staying for Breakfast | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_f95baed | comment |
Not Staying for Breakfast: Early in Asami's and Akihito's relationship, Akihito would either run at first chance or kick Asami out. This makes the scenes when they spend the night in bed together in the aftermath of sex an apparent hint that their relationship is growing deeper and more intimate. Fei Long with Mikhail. The first time they do it, he leaves right after sex, much to Mikhail's disappointment. The second time, he sneaks out before dawn without Mikhail even noticing. | |

Will They or Won't They? | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_fdc1e848 | comment |
Will They or Won't They?: Played with. Akihito and Asami do get into a relationship that becomes more emotional as it is physical as times goes on; but a lot of things between them are left unspoken, especially when it comes to how they truly feel for the other. So it is less about when they will get together and more of when they will properly communicate with each other about their relationship, especially in a situation where they are not under attack. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Finder Series (Manga) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In an extra from Volume 3, Asami jokingly suggests to Akihito that he can provide him with a more comfortable and cushier place to live, to which Akihito vehemently declines. In the end of Volume 6, Akihito moves into the other's apartment to hide from Momohara Ai's fans, who started harassing him out of the suspicion that Akihito is dating said idol in secret. Another extra had Akihito play a prank on Asami by taking a photo of him hugging a mascot in his sleep, with the plan to use the image as his screensaver. A few volumes later, the same photo is seen as Asami's photo caller ID on Akihito's cellphone. | |
