=== This series contains examples of: ===
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: Akihito after running into Asami in the street. A few hours later Asami shows up in his apartment.
* [[A Match Made in Stockholm]]: Akihito and Asami. The latter kidnapped Aki, who fell in love with Asami later. Averted with Akihito and Feilong.
* [[Art Evolution]]: In the first chapters Akihito had a more boyish look and Asami was more rugged. As the story goes on Akihito's features become prettier and Asami's become more refined.
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: The disk Akihito is given and that brings Feilong in the equation.
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Asami and Takaba
* [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit]]: Asami. The only time he wears casual clothes is during the vacation in the island, and they're very high end casual clothes.
* [[Battle Butler]]: Kirishima, he is Asami's assistant and a capable fighter. In a side story he is shown cooking and ironing Asami's clothes.
* [[Bastard Boyfriend]]: Asami. [[Up to Eleven]].
Line 39:
* [[Coitus Uninterruptus]]: Asami's got amazing stamina for a 35-year-old.
* [[Creature of Habit]]: Kirishima fits the bill being very professional and punctual. At times he even comes across as a [[Schedule Fanatic]].
* [[Culture Equals Costume]]: Feilong and his group all wear ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Changshan |changshan]]'' or modernized versions.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: No sappy romance here. OK, a ''little'', but [[Tastes Like Diabetes|lovey-dovey]] feelings of like-OMG-true-love don't exist in here. We are talking about tough love, fights for dominance and kinky sex.
* [[Dirty Cop]]: Yama in the begining of the series. It is implied that Asami has a substantial number of officals in his payroll.
Line 49:
** Not really: Asami had several opportunities to kill Feilong, and he's a dead shot. Yet he never does anything more than disarm or at worst non-lethally injure Feilong. Even Akihito points out in the end that neither Feilong nor Asami actually intends to kill or be killed by the other.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Asami has a naughty chuckle going on whenever Akihito is involved. [[Dirty Old Man]] Yuri does the evil laught a few times and also in Feilong's backstory his brother Yangzhue.
* [[Face Death Withwith Dignity]]: Yoh. {{spoiler|After being caught as a mole, he escapes the mooks interrogating him and helps ensure that Akihito is returned safely to Asami. Then he walks straight up to Feilong and tries to be killed on his own terms.}}
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Akihito thrown in the world of crime.
* [[Flower Motifs]]: In the artwork Asami is pictured holding out a bouquet of red roses to Akihito. In another Feilong is depicted as having received blue roses. Both Asami and Mikhail are in the same panel as well. Also may count as [[Foreshadowing]]. The chapters that introduce Feilong's backstory are titled Flower in the High Loft and he is drawn sorrounded by various flowers.
Line 57:
* [[Gayngst]]: Takaba, after being raped by Asami
* [[Gayngster]]: Asami, Feilong, and several minor characters.
* [[Going for Thethe Big Scoop]]: Takaba in the beginning of it all, causing himself much grief.
* [[Hot Guys Are Bastards]]: Asami, Feilong, Mikhail.
* [[Hot Scoop]]: Takaba.
Line 65:
* [[Intrepid Reporter]] (in training): Takaba.
* [[I Have No Son]]: Tou toward Feilong. "After all, he is the mafia's child."
* [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"]]: Akihito and pretty much everyone. Asami's justification for repeatedly raping Akihito is basically, "You're obviously getting off on it, so you must not be that upset."
** Feilong says this when they first meet and again in the Naked Truth arc
** {{spoiler|as does Sagaki, the host club manager in volume 6 who non-consensually fondles Akihito, only stopping when he realizes who Aki's lover is.}}
* [[Last Request]]: Yoh. He just wishes for {{spoiler|Feilong}} to be the one to kill him.
* [[Legitimate BusinessmensBusinessmen's Social Club]]: Club Sion
* [[Lima Syndrome]]: Asami developed feelings of Akihito after kidnapping him. Feilong as well to a lesser degree.
* [[Long -Haired Pretty Boy]]: Feilong. ''So shiny...''
* [[Lust Object]]: Akihito.
** Feilong for Yanzhui. And in his jealousy, Yanzhui extends this to anyone who supports Feilong as the future head of the organisation.
Line 85:
* [[The Mole]] or [[Reverse Mole]] depending on which side you take: {{spoiler|Yoh}}. At least until he decides he wants to serve both sides at once and becomes the [[Double Agent]].
* [[Mooks]]: The lower level mafiosos.
* [[No Fame, No Wealth, No Service]]: Asami's exclusive, members only Club Sion has this vibe.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: The tomato body scrub has left Asami chuckling and Akihito unable to look at tomatoes.
* [[Not Withwith Them for Thethe Money]]: Akihito gives off this vibe.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Akihito realizes that Asami is not a monster when a child gets ice cream on his very expensive suit and walks away unscathed and with a new triple scoop cone.
* [[Questionable Consent]]: Akihito and Asami's latter encounters always involve a lot of coercion on Asami's part. It does not help matters that Akihito always protests at first and only during the beginning of the Naked Truth arc does he actually give verbal consent. And even then he is under a lot of pressure.
* [[Rape Asas Drama]]: Hot Chinese mafia boss Feilong also rapes Takaba, to get back at Asami. Asami is duly pissed. Things get worse...
* [[Real Men Hate Sugar]]: On a side story Asami has to eat some sweets to show himself as a good guest and is evident that he loathes sweet stuff. And he likes scotch. Akihito on the other hand loves eating sweets, something Asami mercilessly teases him for.
* [[Right Through His Pants]]: In many sex scenes Asami is fully dressed.
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Asami and Akihito, arguably. The first is a calm and collected crime lord and the other is an hyperactive and happy go lucky photographer.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]!
* [[Sherlock Scan]]: Asami has very sharp eyes. Hardly any detail escapes him.
Line 99:
* [[So Beautiful It's a Curse]]: Both Akihito and Feilong. Their pretty faces hand hot bodies have only gotten them unwanted attentions and a big pile of misery.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Asami and his Dunhills.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]] : Akihito sometimes thinks he is this to Asami. Asami does not mind, he will always welcome Aki with his gates open. After the Hong Kong Arc Akihito gets a stalker with a crush of his own.
* [[Stockholm Syndrome]]: Akihito is made of this.
* [[Subordinate Excuse]]: Asami offers to pull {{spoiler|Yoh}} to safety, but he would literally rather die than leave {{spoiler|Feilong}} - and yes, it is for ''that'' reason.
Line 105:
* [[Those Two Guys]]: How Akihito thinks of Suoh and Kirishima. Although after Naked Truth that may have changed.
* [[The Immodest Orgasm]]: Akihito, as due to his [[Uke]] status.
* [[The Triads and Thethe Tongs]]: Feilong and his group.
* [[Triang Relations]]: Asami, Akihito, and Feilong.
* [[Victim Falls For Rapist]]: ''Lots''.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Feilong, full stop (toward his adoptive father Liu).
* [[What Beautiful Eyes!]]: Takaba. Asami particularly likes them.
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Asami wears only expensive and finely tailored suits, drinks scotch, and smokes only Dunhills. Feilong as well with his traditional chinese costumes and appreciation of tea.
* [[Yakuza]]: Asami and his group, and several rival groups.
