Love Lucky: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

* [[Fan Hater]]: An in-universe example with Erika, the female lead singer of the rock band "M.I.T.", is a self-professed hater of "normal people", which arose from the way she was treated by the band's fans after she replaced the previous lead.

* [[Idol Singer]]: Kirari. The main challenge the couple faces throughout the series is in balancing their private married life with the life of her pop idol persona.

* [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]]: President Sakurazawa. He has a realistic idea of how Kirari might accidentally sabotage her career, now that she's found something she values more than it, and takes pre-emptive (if drastic) steps to stop it. There's also a sort of paternal twist on the old "[[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]" thing; he explicitly ''isn't'' trying to get in the way of true love, and relents with good grace when they last out the year.

** Much of the same mechanic is duplicated when Kirari's father comes to visit, with the exception that he used to be a boxer. His responses tend to be more thuggish.

* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: Kirari is from Osaka, and when she drinks, the accent slips out.

* [[Les Yay]]: Undertones of it from Erika, who is 'very' enthusiastic about being friends with Kirari, even giving her chocolate for Valentine's day...

* [[Macho Camp]]: Mameda-san is big and imposing but in private is a big softie with a liking for great big hugs and [[Say It ~~With~~ Hearts]].

* [[Macho Camp]]: Mameda-san is big and imposing but in private is a big softie with a liking for great big hugs and [[Say It with Hearts]].

* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Kirari-chan's manager, Mameda-san, is willing to punch out anyone harassing his ward, but underneath he's a big softie, especially for Kuuta-kun.

* [[Moment Killer]]: Also [[Once an Episode]] for quite a while. Often something from Kirari's career, underlying the conflict between their professional and private lives.

* [[Rags to Riches]]: Fuuta goes from living in a small room paid for with his modest wages to Ippongi Hills, the most high-class, glamorous set of apartments in Tokyo, so that he and Kirari can have easier access to each other in her off time. [[Hilarity Ensues|Too bad he has a deathly fear of heights.]]

* [[Sex Is Evil]]: discussed. Fuuta hesitates at asserting his marital rights because Kirari's [[Kawaisa|childlike purity]] is part of her appeal, and her career might suffer [[Death By Sex]] if they get it on. (Keep in mind that the "[[Ethical Slut]]" trope does not seem to exist in Japanese culture.)

(Keep in mind that the "[[Ethical Slut]]" trope does not seem to exist in Japanese culture.)

* [[Their First Time]]: zig-zagged. The aforementioned [[Moment Killer|Moment Killers]] keep interfering when Fuuta and Kirari try to get it on. Finally, after a fair amount of drinking, they start down the path, but Fuuta has a crisis of conscience (see "[[Sex Is Evil]]" above) and then finds himself saddled with [[The Loins Sleep Tonight|other problems]]. Even better, Kirari was so drunk that she doesn't remember anything of what happened: she later mentions that they haven't done it for two months since "that first night," clearly unaware that they ''didn't'' do it that first night. Eventually {{spoiler|resolved in Ch.29.}}

* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Fuuta is, at best, average. Kirari is one of the country's top idols.
