Lovable Sex Maniac: Difference between revisions

 

{{quote|'''Italy:''' Brother, what is this "intercourse?"

 

The ethics of Anime-land are fluid and lackadaisical, and nowhere is this more evident than in the case of the Lovable Sex Maniac. This form of [[Casanova]] goes above and beyond the average sleaze, engaging in the full spectrum of perversion - from dabbling in pornography to blatant sexual advances to outright molestation, sometimes of severely underaged characters. In the real world, of course, (even real-world Japan) such behavior will land you in hot water - but in anime, the worst you'll get is a whack from a [[Hyperspace Mallet]]. The only thing that keeps the Lovable Sex Maniac from being a truly disturbing [[Anti-Hero]] is that his antics are always played for laughs—and the odd thing is, it usually works.

* Miroku from ''[[Inuyasha]]'' regularly asks women to bear his children, as well as constantly groping <s>Sango</s> any reasonably attractive woman within reach.

* ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'', an earlier work by the same author, has '''two''' of these. Shuutaro Mendo is one of these, as well as a [[Lord Error-Prone]] [[Spoiled Brat]] - however, his suave, debonair nature makes him the most successful, arguably bumping him into [[Handsome Lech]] territory. And then there's male protagonist Ataru Moroboshi, who is such a flirt that he can become a [[Determinator]] if there's a pretty girl involved, and who wants nothing to do with his [[Accidental Marriage|unintentionally gained fiancee]], the beautiful alien princess Lum. However, he's quite heroic and generally likeable compared to his spiritual successor...

* ''[[Bleach]]'': It seems like everyone associated with Urahara Shop or the Vizards fits this trope. Urahara and Yoruichi both have a tendency to behave rather, er, shamelessly, especially around minors. All I can say is: Renji had better be careful about knocking before entering while staying with them. And don't get me started on the time Ichigo woke up in bed with Tessai. Ururu and Jinta have yet to present, but give them time and I'm sure they'll blossom. Also, Shinji claims practically every girl he meets as his "first love" (watch him introduce himself to Orihime), Lisa openly reads pornographic manga, and Mashiro has been known to randomly grope herself.

** Urahara and Yoruichi are shameless, sure, but they have nothing on Chizuru's pure lechery.
