His Favorite (Aitsu no Daihonmei) is a Boys' Love series by Suzuki Tanaka which started out as a one-shot for a theme of Ugly Boy Romance. The manga began serialization in Magazine Be x Boy in 2008, and is still ongoing. The author seems to have a steady pace of one volume per year. All volumes have been officially released by the Viz Media subdivision SuBLime.The main character is Yoshio Yoshida who's the local Beady-Eyed Loser. He hangs out with Fatty Akimoto and Doodle Face Makimura most of the time, but lately, the school's Bishounen Satou has taken a bizarre kind of interest in using Yoshida as an excuse as to why he won't go anywhere outside school with the Estrogen Brigade, teasing him all the time, and kissing him where no one else can see.Oh, yeah. Satou wants to date Yoshida.Satou and Yoshida end up together almost immediately, though it does take a few chapters for Yoshida to accept it. The series is otherwise about the school antics, romantic shenanigans in which no less than 3 people ask Yoshida out, and Satou being the Center of the Universe to everyone around him even though Yoshida is the main character. The Other Wiki even believes Satou to be the main character because of this.As the series goes on it gains more or less a plot, getting a wilder backstory and breaking out of the School Romance BL genre it was in at times. Many chapter plots also revolve around school holidays, events, and other things that show how popular Satou is and how while Yoshida can handle this, Satou starts getting jealous rather easily if Yoshida receives new positive attention. | |

Backstory Horror: Satou's missing years that he refuses to talk about may have started out as Fridge Horror to some of the more perceptive readers, but the author later discloses a few details of what happened that transformed it into true Backstory Horror. The author also discloses family details that also qualify for Satou. In general, Satou has had a lot of horrifying things happen to him... | |

Genre Shift: Starts off as a school romance BL, transforms into a comedy series with established romance, and the flashbacks hint at an entirely different type of story. | |

Hypocritical Heartwarming | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_18f2b2b | comment |
Hypocritical Heartwarming: Averted. Satou does not assist in more common bullying such as the girls at their school calling Yoshida names or cornering him when Satou uses him as an excuse. However, this is probably because that is one of Satou's controlled forms of teasing and he knows how to casually fix things if the girls go too far. Played straight when Satou knows Tsuyako wants Yoshida to be the M to her S.note For those unfamiliar with BDSM terms, M stands for "Masochist" (the submissive partner) and S stands for "Sadist" (the dominant partner) She quickly backs off when she realizes Yoshida is his. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Satou and Yoshida became a couple right off the bat but it didn't come without its problems. You see, Satou is madly in love with Yoshida but the inverse wasn't necessarily true since the former basically pushed the latter into a relationship without any input. As a result, it took Yoshida a lot of time and angsting to reciprocate Satou's feelings and even longer to accept their relationship since he isn't as open about it as Satou. Later on in the manga, Satou acknowledges that it wasn't right how he started dating him in the first place due to his domineering, sadistic personality and wished it went differently. Opposites Attract is also bound to have its downsides as the main couple's conflicting personalities and goals are one of the many obstacles they had to overcome early on in their relationship. Torachin and Yamanaka are the more extreme example to point of borderline Destructive Romance and co-dependency. While this is no justification for their behaviour, Satou is unwilling to drop his Nice Guy facade so he makes excuses, plays along and/or gives in to the girls' advances instead of outright rejecting them. This came back to bite him hard as leading on the girls for so long made them evidently lose their ability to back off and see what's socially acceptable in pursuing romance, viewing him superficially as a handsome and "perfect gentleman" they must have as the object of their affections. Satou dug himself deeper when he use the girlfriend bluff (Even employing Murakami in drag) and then outed his relationship with Yoshida but didn't bother to change his attitude towards the girls. As such, it Goes Horribly Wrong as the girls slowly become immune to whatever obstacle is hurled at them, despite how blatantly hopeless their chances are, as they chalk Satou up as playing hard to get. | |

Easy Amnesia | |

Easy Amnesia: In one of the more recent chapters, losing and regaining your memory is as easy as slipping on one of the many mysterious banana peels scattered around campus. Satou, being who he is, tries to have fun with this. He quickly regrets and fixes it though, simply because Yoshida not remembering him is too painful. When you remember that Yoshida has forgotten Satou before... | |

Beta Couple | |

Beta Couple: Akimoto's relationship with Youko is secondary to Yoshida and Satou and the only opposite-sex pairing amongst the cast (an inverse Token Minority Couple if you will). That said... Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: They're the most stable, loving pair in comparison to the realistically healthy relationship between Yoshida and Satou (they may undergo rough patches but still genuinely love one another regardless) and heavily contrast the hot dysfunctional mess of Yamanaka and Torachin. | |

Nice, Mean, and In-Between | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_5e965a73 | comment |
Nice, Mean, and In-Between: In terms of same-sex couple dynamics, Yoshida and Sato are the Nice, Nishida and Azuma are the In-Between and Yamanaka and Torachin are the Mean. In spite of the hardships and the rough start, Yoshida and Satou have a mostly healthy relationship and are very intimate in private. Why "mostly" is they still have issues, like Satou's extreme sadism stemming from a Dark and Troubled Past and Yoshida's difficulty in fully accepting and openly admitting their relationship, to sort out but nevertheless accept each other's flaws. Nishida constantly pines for Yoshida but still has feelings for Azuma who likewise wants Nishida to only focus on him. The tension started when Azuma reached his growth spurt and both went to different schools where Nishida met Yoshida. It's gonna be a long time before either can resolve their conflict and enter a relationship once more. And then there's Yamanaka, Torachin and the toxic mess of a relationship they have. They bring out the worst of each other, Yamanaka will make repeated, lecherous passes at women to which Torachin beats him bloody every single time he caught wind of this. Yet the two are still together because of their terrible reputations, with Yamanaka being a depraved playboy while Torachin has a Face of a Thug compounded by unsavory rumors from hanging around the former, which further isolated them from everyone else except each other and consequently makes their problems worse. | |

Single-Target Sexuality | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_5f49ac76 | comment |
Single-Target Sexuality: After what he went through at fat camp, the now drop-dead handsome Satou is constantly lusted over by girls (and the occasional guy) and had even slept with older women in the facility. In any case, it's a hormonal-ridden, harem-seeking teenage boy's fantasy but in Satou's, the whole situation is incredibly frustrating and/or boring. This is because of his combined sadism and nihilistic personality making him unable to harbor any attraction towards anyone whatsoever. That's what Satou thought until he encounters Yoshida again and realise his feelings for him for not only standing up to his bullies in grade school but also his resistance towards any particularly sadistic desire and acception of his true self regardless. | |

Unwanted Harem | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_71019994 | comment |
Unwanted Harem: Satou and, believe it or not, Yoshida has enough of their share of Abhorrent Admirers to go around. They usually caused most of the problems in the manga, especially the former's harem. The "unwanted" part is heavily emphasized by the fact that both are the main couple since the beginning and their admirers still won't back down once their relationship is outed to the entire school, becoming even more aggressive and determined in their pursuits. As the series progresses, Yoshida has no more than three people lusting over him besides Satou. First there's Nishida, complete opposite to Satou with a bad case of Chronic Hero Syndrome. He's been in love with Yoshida ever since he laid his eyes on him but before he had the chance to confess his love, Satou already took him. Despite Yoshida making it clear he finds Nishida nothing more than an overly-friendly acquaintance/nuisance, the latter doesn't give up because of the deluded belief he's a better fit for the former than Satou. Next is Tsuyako who is an unbelievably attractive Sadist like Satou but her preference differs in her very much liking to be obeyed and submitted to. Since Yoshida knows her true self but still has a liking to girls, he gets too flustered and/or scared to turn down her advances despite knowing the morally dubious intentions behind it. Satou is usually the one to nip her efforts in the bud and Yoshida is grateful for that. Satou has it off even worse with the entire female populace in the school district. They all have the idiotic notion that Satou is the only one good enough to date so it's okay to constantly pester him, harass Yoshida and disregard other available boys. | |

Deconstruction | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: The Seme-Uke relationship between Satou and Yoshida respectively. Yoshida is clearly uncomfortable when Satou goes too strong with his sadistic tendencies and sexual advances, getting more angry and upset than attracted or aroused. Satou is like this because of his horrendous upbringing, childhood bullying and the dreaded fat camp, making it hard for him to express his feelings normally. Their relationship only deepens once both grew out of these roles when Yoshida becomes more open about his feelings and Satou learns to be more gentle and go easy on the torment. | |

Yaoi Genre: The manga focuses on Satou and Yoshida and their budding relationship though interestingly enough, they're identified as demisexual and leaning bisexual respectively instead of outright gay or bi.

Sadist | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_b39d5719 | comment |
Next is Tsuyako who is an unbelievably attractive Sadist like Satou but her preference differs in her very much liking to be obeyed and submitted to. Since Yoshida knows her true self but still has a liking to girls, he gets too flustered and/or scared to turn down her advances despite knowing the morally dubious intentions behind it. Satou is usually the one to nip her efforts in the bud and Yoshida is grateful for that. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: The girls often turn down Makimura harshly because of how he degrades himself and repetitively asks them out on dates, not knowing they'll do exactly that to Satou in a heartbeat but much, much worse. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: The girls and Makimura have many back-and-forth arguments throughout the manga with valid reasons on either side. For example, when he, Yoshida, Akimoto and the 2 other ugly boys in the class were picked to be cheerleaders for a ball tournament, Makimura objects and suggests they would score more points if the girls in miniskirts cheered instead. The female class representative snaps back at his blatantly sexist remark and claims it's too late for suggestions after the final decisions. However, Makimura was proven to be right since their cheering singlehandedly made the school lose two games in a row due to the boys' ugly looks demotivating the players. | |

Nice Guy | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_c5249b29 | comment |
While this is no justification for their behaviour, Satou is unwilling to drop his Nice Guy facade so he makes excuses, plays along and/or gives in to the girls' advances instead of outright rejecting them. This came back to bite him hard as leading on the girls for so long made them evidently lose their ability to back off and see what's socially acceptable in pursuing romance, viewing him superficially as a handsome and "perfect gentleman" they must have as the object of their affections. Satou dug himself deeper when he use the girlfriend bluff (Even employing Murakami in drag) and then outed his relationship with Yoshida but didn't bother to change his attitude towards the girls. As such, it Goes Horribly Wrong as the girls slowly become immune to whatever obstacle is hurled at them, despite how blatantly hopeless their chances are, as they chalk Satou up as playing hard to get. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_c55c31e2 | comment |
Non-Standard Character Design: Yoshida, Makimura and Akimoto are drawn less detailed and more cartoony, more so with the latter two, which sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the attractively, realistically drawn cast. | |

Dropped After the Pilot | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_c6b4b048 | comment |
Dropped After the Pilot: In the first chapter, Koike was the first girl to be named and bear some significance towards the plot by being the one Yoshida had a huge crush on but, like many of the girls in school, had fallen victim to Satou's charms. However, when the second chapter rolled around, she was completely forgotten and never mentioned again which is especially jarring since the chapter was a direct continuation of the first one. | |

No Name Given: Only four of the background female characters were named in the manga despite its ongoing fourteen years run. The male background characters have it worse with none of them being named because they're way less important than the girls. | |

Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_ccc9d8b0 | comment |
Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: They're the most stable, loving pair in comparison to the realistically healthy relationship between Yoshida and Satou (they may undergo rough patches but still genuinely love one another regardless) and heavily contrast the hot dysfunctional mess of Yamanaka and Torachin. | |

If It's You, It's Okay | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_d31da2e3 | comment |
If It's You, It's Okay: Yoshida doesn't feel the same way for guys as he did with Satou since he immediately rejects the advances of Yamanaka early on and Nishida but his opinion on finding girls attractive didn't change. This puts Yoshida's sexuality as leaning bisexual, mostly heterosexual with the exception of one same-sex attraction to Satou. | |

Affectionate Nickname | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_dcd423d2 | comment |
Affectionate Nickname: Yoshida and Toranosuke were classmates in middle school who had other classmates who shared their names, so the nicknames were necessary. However, Yoshi-Yoshi and Torachin are honestly weirdly cutesy nicknames for them to call each other given they're both in relationships with other guys, especially since there's been no mention of the other similar-named characters even going to the same school anymore. | |

Hate Sink: The girls for not only seeing Satou as an object of affection to constantly harass for and treat others like crap, especially when taking out their aggression on Yoshida, but continue to act this way after Satou reveals his relationship with Yoshida in hopes of them taking a hint. | |

Running Gag | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: A common occurrence in the manga is when the girls in school would have fainting spells around Satou, whether out of infatuation or shock, lying haplessly in the hallways and evidently stepped on because of it. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| His Favorite (Manga) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
In spite of the hardships and the rough start, Yoshida and Satou have a mostly healthy relationship and are very intimate in private. Why "mostly" is they still have issues, like Satou's extreme sadism stemming from a Dark and Troubled Past and Yoshida's difficulty in fully accepting and openly admitting their relationship, to sort out but nevertheless accept each other's flaws. | |
