* BattleCouple: Kou and Maki are incredibly capable fighters alone but once they get together, the two become a well-coordinated tag team as shown by their rematch with the thug duo. They even have lighthearted banter when Maki gets irritated with Kou stealing his moves but insists he's borrowing them.
* CrazyPrepared: Maki knew that once Kou's ED is cured, it'll be the end for his ass. Thus, he had to prepare himself for what was to come like having lube and condoms on his person just in case and in the side-story, practiced with three dildos so he can take on the real thing.
* TheLoinsSleepTonight: One of the main plots of the story is Kou's erectile dysfunction from constantly suppressing his sexual urges and desires for Maki since puberty and the two of them trying to get it up. This proves to be difficult as finally confessing and going out with Maki then thinking incredibly erotic thoughts about him does nothing for Kou.
* NocturnalEmission: Maki gets a wet dream from imagining what it would be like with Kou being inside him, unsurprisingly leading to him washing his briefs which his sister mocks him for.
* RagingStiffie: After spending the majority of the manga having TheLoinsSleepTonight, Kou finally got hard but unfortunately, he happened to do so in ''the middle of a public park''. Maki is rightly worried Kou will get arrested if he walks around like this, especially how huge it is, so they end up having [[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces their first time on the park's restroom sink]] to calm it down.

Delinquents Kou and Maki have been childhood friends for fifteen years and did everything together, basketball, karaoke, beating up gangs, but the former always wants something more out of their relationship from repressing his feelings with the latter. When he finally got the courage to confess, it turns out Maki knew this entire time and had waited patiently for so long until Kou was ready that the feeling eventually became mutual.

However, at one point in chapter 4, he is quite powerless when Kou becomes way too sexually frustrated and could do nothing but accept what's coming if it weren't for the bell.

''I'll Make You Cry'' (Nakaseteyaruyo Yankee-kun) is a one-volume action-[[BoysLove BL]] manga by Hiiragi Nozomu released in 2019.
!!Contains the following tropes:
* TheCameo: The unnamed gang leader in chapter 3 turns out to be Mugimaru in Hiiragi's previous work ''Konna ore wo Suki Toka Majika'' back when he used to be a delinquent (Notice the same eyeglasses).
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Yoshino gets suspicious when Maki is going to Kou's house more frequently, he retorts back that Miu goes to their house to meet her as often. The siblings then paused for a moment and were about to say something but stop themselves. At the end of the last chapter, Maki tells Yoshino that he's dating Kou expecting she'll be upset but was shocked to find out she's dating Miu.
* GagEcho: The gang's reaction when they ask who Kou's crush is and then later who is Kou marrying and Maki bluntly replies both times that it's him:
-->[When discussing about Kou during karaoke]
-->'''Glasses Guy:''' "Speaking of which, Kou doesn't have a girlfriend, right?"
-->'''Maki:''' "Nooope. 'Cause the person he likes is me."
-->'''Tall Brunette Guy:''' "Hah! As if!"
-->'''Wavy-Blonde Guy:''' "Noooo, my Kou...!"
-->[Later when Kou is busy reading a marriage magazine]
-->'''Classmate:''' Huh? Is Kou getting married? To who?
-->'''Maki:''' "With me."
-->'''Tall Brunette Guy:''' "Hah! As if!"
-->'''Wavy-Blonde Guy:''' "Noooo, my Kou...!"
* LoveDodecahedron: A minor, non-impactful one between Kou, Maki and their respective sisters Miu and Yoshino. As kids, Yoshino had a crush on Kou who had a crush on Maki who had a crush on Miu whose crush is unknown but it's assumed to be Yoshino. Kou's affection for Maki is the only one that remains unwavered during the fifteen-year TimeSkip, Maki who knew all along eventually developed feelings for Kou while his with Miu faded and in spite of Yoshino wistfully hoping Kou would look her way, she ends up dating Miu (TyingUpRomanticLooseEnds in the process).
* MeaningfulName: Kou names the kitten "Konbini" (Japanese for "Convenience Store") since he had to beat up two thugs to rescue it from the parking lot of one.
* PatientChildhoodLoveInterest: As little as they were three, Maki knew about Kou's burning, long-standing crush on him all along but kept quiet for the fifteen years that followed until the latter was ready. This is evident by the number of times he let Kou get away with kissing him in his sleep and jerking off to his clothes. Alas, Maki got tired of him not making the first move anytime soon, since the feeling eventually became mutual, and had to break the silence by lying about getting a job in Tokyo to coax Kou into [[LoveConfession confessing]].
