Golden Boy is a manga series by Tatsuya Egawa, which was serialized in Super Jump from 1992 to 1997. It was later turned into a six-episode OVA series that was released from 1995 to 1996.Kintaro Oe, the series' protagonist, is a perverted freeter (low income freelancer) who rides through Japan on his trusty bicycle, looking for his purpose in life. Having left Tokyo University without graduating (while at the top of his class, mind you), he decides to try every job he can to find something he likes. During his travels, he comes in contact with beautiful women whose lives he changes in different ways - and always for the better. However, before that change, he makes rather poor first impressions on them or the people around them due to his perverted traits, Hot-Blooded personality, and general clumsiness. In the end, Kintaro rides off into the sunset, having won new experiences - as well as the respect and sometimes even the hearts of the women he leaves behind.After the point where the anime leaves off, the manga gets...weird. And it only gets weirder as it goes on, first turning into a hentai and then getting stranger from there to the point where Kintaro becomes so obsessed with a particular girl that he gives up his own life and personality to basically become a copy of her. Yeah. For fans of the anime it's a serious case of Mood Whiplash, and it doesn't take long for it to stop feeling even remotely like the same character and story.In 2010, Tatsuya came back with Golden Boy II - Sasurai no Obenkyou Yarou Geinoukai Ooabare-hen, which ran in Business Jump until 2011. As the name implies it's a sequel of the original series, but it remains fairly unknown, in contrast to the original boom.Not to be confused with the live-action series of the same name. | |

In the second episode, he becomes enamored with Naoko, a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing teenage daughter of a local politician who has a habit of acting sweet and intimate around men but just enjoys playing with them. However, when she steals Kintaro's notebook, the following night she discovers from his notes that Kintaro saw right through her from the start. He considered her teasing amateurish and felt she's really a very sad and bitter young girl who might be lashing out due to Daddy Issues. | |

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic | |
| Golden Boy (Manga) / int_33b4e7f | comment |
Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Reiko doesn't use a helmet during her race with Kintaro, most likely because her facial expressions would be more difficult to portray if she wore one. Still, it's not only uncomfortable to race at high speeds without any protection for the eyes, but it goes without saying that it's insanely dangerous. | |

Seeing Kintaro lie for her and get the shit beaten out of him makes her realize Kintaro does care about her, and causes her to break down in tears begging his forgiveness for her behavior. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| Golden Boy (Manga) / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: The basic premise of the series is that even though Kintaro might seem like a real dumbass at first glance, he's actually incredibly smart and athletic. After accidentally deleting a company's software for a client in Episode 1, he makes another (and better) version in under a week. He also prepared for his job at the company by teaching himself basic programming with a paper keyboard. In the second episode, he becomes enamored with Naoko, a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing teenage daughter of a local politician who has a habit of acting sweet and intimate around men but just enjoys playing with them. However, when she steals Kintaro's notebook, the following night she discovers from his notes that Kintaro saw right through her from the start. He considered her teasing amateurish and felt she's really a very sad and bitter young girl who might be lashing out due to Daddy Issues. In Episode 3, he effortlessly kicks the crap out of a local Yakuza who had beaten him up earlier in the episode. After less than a month of lessons, he almost beats the head swimming instructor in a race in Episode 4. He beats a woman on a motorcycle with his pedal bike in Episode 5. | |

Hypocritical Humor: "...I know how badly you wanna see inside this thin layer of cloth, Kintaro, I can see it in your eyes! you really wanna touch me so badly don't you?! Your hands are saying that in the way that they shake! YOU WANNA TEAR OFF MY CLOTHES AND (gets increasingly explicit)*gasp*...what a typical man, always thinking about sex..." | |

Cement Shoes: Apparently, Naoko has a habit of having her father, a powerful politician with connections to the Yakuza, disposing of boyfriends that she gets bored with, with one guy shown being thrown into a lake. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male | |
| Golden Boy (Manga) / int_c0e3994b | comment |
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: A bit downplayed, but the dynamic between Kintaro and Naoko plays out like this in the second episode. She sexually harasses Kintaro by undressing in front of him for the sake of making him uncomfortable. The second time she sees him, Naoko feigns getting lightheaded and falls over, deliberately positioning herself so her breasts will land into Kintaro's hands. She then moves his hand over her ass. While the scenes are initially played for awkward comedy due to Kintaro's perverted tendencies, the episode subtly demonstrates this isn't okay because of what a bitter, manipulative girl Naoko is and the realization Kintaro figured out what she was doing and didn't say anything because he pities her. It's finally averted fully when Naoko cuts up her clothes and makes it look like Kintaro assaulted her; Kintaro exclaiming he loves Naoko and letting her dad's men beat him up causes her to suffer an extreme My God, What Have I Done? reaction and beg for Kintaro's forgiveness over the horrible way she treated him. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| Golden Boy (Manga) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: Only in the manga. It starts with the known formula - then at one point, a bizarre techno-sex cult run by a former friend comes up, Kintaro gets relegated to a side character, and the manga gets more and more involved with lengthy and confusing arguments about the ills of society, mind control, etc. | |

Running Gag | |
| Golden Boy (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Kintaro hugging a toilet bowl when imagining that a beautiful woman sat on it. During his fantasizing, said woman will surprise him. Hilarity ensues. Hilariously averted in the last episode when Kintaro is interrupted by his male boss rather than the original woman; let's just say the use of a butcher knife is involved. | |
