Generic [[Boys Love|yaoi]] plot: Aloof [[Seme]] meets cheerful [[Uke]], seme rapes uke, uke falls in love with seme. Now, replace "aloof" with "upbeat and long-suffering," "cheerful" with "violent-tempered and homophobic," and "falls in love with" with "tries his damnedest to deny his feelings for" and you have Hinako Takanaga's ''Koisuru Boukun'' or, as it's known in English, '''''[[The Tyrant Falls in Love]].'''''
 
A [[Spin-Off]] of ''[[Challengers (Manga)|Challengers]]'', which had [[Beta Couple|side characters]] Souichi Tatsumi, Tomoe's homophobic and tyrannical older brother, and Tetsuhiro Morinaga, his lab assistant and [[Sempai-Kohai|kohai]] who harbors a longtime crush on him. Despite Souichi's homophobia, Morinaga managed to confess his love for him without Souichi promptly beating the living daylights out of him or getting as far away from him as possible. Souichi, however, did kiss Morinaga in exchange for them [[That Didn't Happen|forgetting that anything ever happened to compromise their friendship]].
 
''The Tyrant Falls in Love'' takes place about a year after these events, with nothing much changed. Souichi is still a homophobic tyrant and Morinaga still his loyal and lovelorn companion. It looks like Morinaga's 5-year-old unrequited love will only drag on, until one night when Souichi, on a drinking binge at Morinaga's house, unknowingly downs an aphrodisiac stored in the back of a cabinet. Morinaga finds Souichi turned on and rendered immobile, realizes that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and finally does what he's been waiting for five years to do with Souichi.

=== This series contains examples of: ===
 
* [[All Just a Dream]]: The sex scene that kicks off volume 3.
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: Morinaga's older brother who has remained distant from him (along with the rest of Morinaga's family) for reasons concerning his homosexuality.
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: Souichi has whacked Morinaga with a broken beer bottle for raping him, punched him ''really'' hard for his weeks-long disappearance from his life, dumped hot coffee on his head for him implying that they're more than friends, given him a boot to the head for accusing him of having a sexual relationship with another man...the list goes on.
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: Souichi - the guy may look feminine but he is absolutely terrifying to fight.
* [[Big No]]{{context}}
* [[CannotCan't StandLive with Them, CannotCan't Live Without Them]]: Souichi tells Morinaga that he doesn't want to see his face again after he rapes him, but when Morinaga does exactly that and breaks off all contact with him, life feels strangely empty and lonely...
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: After discovering the true nature of Morinaga and Souichi's relationship, Isogai blackmails Souichi into coming over to his hotel and...singing karaoke of the Doraemon theme tune with him. It was all just because he's bored, but it leads to a [[Not What It Looks Like]] moment when Morinaga begins to worry Souichi is cheating on him.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Los Angeles is named as the city where gay marriage was legalized in 2004 instead of San Francisco. This is later fixed when Kurokawa and Tomoe go to San Fransisco to get married. (Was also corrected in the edition released by June.)
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Morinaga
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Masaki, when his and Mori's relationship comes out to the community.
* [[Dude, She's Like, in Aa Coma|Dude He's Like In A Coma]]
* [[Erotic Dream]] / [[Nocturnal Emission]]: Tearfully related by Morinaga, as the first page of Volume 3.
* [[Friends Withwith Benefits]]: ''Violently'' denied by Souichi when Morinaga suggested that their relationship is this.
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: Really, is there any chance of the tyrant ''not'' falling in love with the [[Dogged Nice Guy]] by the end of the series? Especially with a title like that?
* [["Glad to Be Alive" Sex]]: Volume four. Souichi tries to pretend it didn't happen.
Line 51 ⟶ 50:
* [[Love Hotels]]: Morinaga drags Souichi to one in Volume 3.
* [[Luminescent Blush]]
* [[Making Love in All Thethe Wrong Places]]: On the floor, in an alley, ''on the street'' (where they get spotted).
* [[Manly Tears]]
* [[Mistaken for Cheating]]
Line 69 ⟶ 68:
* [[Think Unsexy Thoughts]]: Morinaga's attempt to prevent a hard-on by mentally repeating the value of pi. It doesn't work.
* [[Tsundere]]: Souichi to an amazing degree. This exchange in volume 1 sums it up:
{{quote| '''Souichi:''' (concluding a long rant about how Morinaga's a bastard for disappearing from his life to use that as emotional blackmail) It's the exact same thing you did a year ago! You just go off and try to bear every fucking thing by yourself! You think if you threaten me that I'll just fold and give in to you, don't you!<br />
'''Morinaga:''' Sempai, stop! Do you mean that my being gone actually makes you feel that bad? Like I'm blackmailing you?<br />
'''Souichi:''' (turns red and suddenly becomes tongue-tied) So...so what...if it did... you got a problem with that...?<br />
'''Morinaga:''' Huh?<br />
'''Souichi:''' (snaps) I'm asking what the big freaking problem is if it ''did'' make me feel bad!<br />
'''Morinaga:''' No. Nothing. No problem at all.<br />
'''Souichi:''' And who the hell has bad timing?! I've been coming here very single day! This is actually the ''second fucking time'' I've come today! There was no way you could come back here without me knowing it! Did you think you could just get away... get away with disappearing like that? Did you think that I... that I would just accept it?! That I wouldn't feel anything at all? Is that you thought?! Do you have any idea how worried I've been... (breaks down in tears)<br />
'''Morinaga:''' No.. I just never even imagined that you would cry over me...<br />
'''Souichi:''' Fuck you! This is just... this is nothing more than some saline that's leaking out of my glands because I'm so angry! }}
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: {{spoiler|After eight volumes, it's confirmed that they will. And the fangirls rejoiced.}}
