Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Part of a larger series of interrelated stories of salarymen, Fujisaki Kou's Virgin Love and its two direct sequels follow the rather smutty relationship of two business partners: Kaoru a mid-level manager at Todou and Daigo the executive director of Mercury.After moving back to Japan to work at the Todou group, Kaoru takes to drinking alone every night out of boredom. He ends up getting picked up by fellow Ethical Slut Daigo, but only agrees to a one-night stand. A couple weeks later they meet at work. They begin a Friends with Benefits relationship, with Daigo secretly hoping for more. Kaoru, having commitment issues thanks to his Abusive Mom, eventually calls it off when he finds himself going Crazy Jealous Guy over little things. After Daigo shows up to stop him from sleeping with Yonehara, a CEO who had been harassing him, they reconcile and decide to be lovers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })...Junai No Seinen picks up after this, with Daigo still worried about what Kaoru's feelings for him are. This only gets worse when Kaoru's ex-sex friend Ian shows up hoping to strike something up again and Kaoru takes advantage of this to make Daigo jealous in order to feed his own insecurity. It backfires when Daigo leaves him in anger. After a Kaoru has a public meltdown Daigo figures out what was going on and forgives him.In Men's Love Daigo gets called to America by his father under the cover of work but really for an Arranged Marriage that he is trying to force on his son. Daigo tries to hide the matter from Kaoru knowing how badly he'd take it, but Kaoru finds out when Daigo's father tries to bribe and threaten him to break up with Daigo. Kaoru goes to America to force Daigo to make a decision and Daigo finally succeeds in Calling the Old Man Out.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })These three works are scattered amidst a loose series which focuses around the Todou Group.

Poor Communication Kills: Averted... most of the time. Usually never becomes a problem between Daigo and Kaoru because of Kaoru's Brutal Honesty Is The Only Way policy. Now in the associated series? See Playboy Amour for a prolific example courtesy of some ridiculously low self-esteem issues. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: unsurprisingly, Kaoru and Chiharu. Insanity really is inheritable in their case. Other characters have been caught in the jealousy-trap, but absolutely none take it to the kind of extremes that Kaoru and Chiharu do. Safe to say they've never tried to murder someone over it. | |

Brutal Honesty: Kaoru is the master wielder of this particular technique. He can destroy someone's self-esteem with this in less than a minute (shown to rather cruel effect in the associated series). The only person this doesn't work on is Chiharunote Apparently they already swapped their The Reason You Suck Speeches a long time ago. | |

Kaoru later reveals to Daigo that Chiharu is his cousin and he's just being had. Turns out that he did this deliberately to mess with Kaoru, after how Kaoru messed around with him and Kazuki when he was first introduced in the prequel. | |

Crazy Jealous Guy | |
...Virgin Love (Manga) / int_50b9b3d0 | comment |
Crazy Jealous Guy: Invoked. The reason Kaoru shuns romantic relationships is fear of becoming like his man-crazy mother. His prediction does come true somewhat, but Daigo is willing to accept the madly jealous side of him and convinces him to give their relationship a chance. Daigo himself can't stand it when other men touch Kaoru though he's much more restrained in his reactions. In the associated series, Chiharu shows himself up as having similar issues as Kaoru, although he takes it to greater extremes. Apparently It Runs in the Family, or they were incredibly screwed up by their collective parentsnote Probably a mixture of both. | |

Heroic Bastard | |
...Virgin Love (Manga) / int_792bb47a | comment |
Heroic Bastard: Daigo's mother was a mistress of his father, and Daigo's never been officially recognized as his son. His dad stayed completely out of his life until he hit university age, when he sent Daigo to school and put him on the fast-track in his company. | |

Bait-and-Switch Tyrant: Kaoru and Chiharu both overwork their subordinates when they want to get things done, but are liked for the fact that they are effective and work equally hard. Kaoru specifically often takes responsibility for mistakes that his subordinates make, for which they are grateful. | |

First Love | |
...Virgin Love (Manga) / int_a00fb5fd | comment |
First Love: Despite both Kaoru and Chiharu's long line of one-night hook-ups and Friends with Benefits, both Daigo and Kazuki respectively are the first and only people they've ever fallen in love withnote The fact that the reason for this is that both are borderline insane with enough childhood baggage to sink an oil liner makes this slightly less romantic than it sounds. | |

Operation: Jealousy | |
...Virgin Love (Manga) / int_b6caa5b4 | comment |
Operation: Jealousy: Despite Daigo being loving and utterly devoted to him, Kaoru puts this into action - consequently putting Daigo through emotional hell - as a way of constantly reassuring himself that Daigo cares about him because he's just that insecure. This backfires, however, when Daigo, being normal and not raised in an dark, abusive childhood atmosphere like Kaoru and Chiharu, decides not to put up with it anymore. | |

If you touch Kazuki in front of Chiharu, you will find your entire life in ruins in a matter of days... because he's a Manipulative Bastard Chessmaster who will end you. Either that or actually kill you. | |

It Runs in the Family | |
...Virgin Love (Manga) / int_c63e5338 | comment |
It Runs in the Family: Kaoru and Chiharu believe madness runs in their family. They're correct, although given their parents' actions it could easily be a nurture thing. That said, their mom and dad were/are completely off-the-wall insane in rather ugly ways. The only thing that keeps Kaoru and Chiharu sane are, quite literally, their relationships with Daigo and Kazuki respectively, who act as huge stabilising forces. It something happens to those relationships, they tend to fly off the handle and fall to pieces faster than a speeding train on amphetamines. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Most of the characters are portrayed as morally flexible in the interests of business, but Daigo's father dances closest to this trope when he bribes Kaoru to break up with Daigo and failing that threatens to expose his sexual orientation so that Daigo can make an marriage that's advantageous to the company. | |

Didn't See That Coming: Daigo's father genuinely didn't think Daigo would ever stand up to him. He also wasn't counting on Todou to find out about him threatening Kaoru. He didn't count on Chiharu deciding that Kaoru would be more useful to him if he wasn't completely broken. Bad things tend to happen when Chiharu decides to knock over the dominoes. | |
