History Manga / SakendeYaruze

* LoveTriangle: TriangRelations type 4. In spite of his determination, Mizusawa is never presented as a genuine contender for Shino's feelings, while Shino does eventually accept his feelings for Tenryuu.

* NoBisexuals: Averted. It shows up in-story when Mizusawa gets engaged and everyone's first reaction is "You got engaged to a man?!" despite the fact that by the laws of the time, it would obviously have to be a woman.

One day a 17 year old boy shows up on [[VoiceActors voice actor]] Hisae Shino's doorstep, claiming to be his son. It turns out the reason his high-school girlfriend had left him when they were 17 was because she got pregnant and thought having a child would ruin Shino's career plans but didn't want to give up the baby, Nakaya. Sick of living with his [[ApronMatron strict grandmother]] after his mother's recent death, Nakaya searched for his father and showed up at Shino's house to insist they live together and become like family.

Shino gives in but in order to provide for them he begins taking on any work he can get, no matter what it is. Amusingly these projects end up being mainly BoysLove drama cds, as he has "the perfect {{uke}} voice." Nakaya is shocked when he finds out and disapproves at first, but this is only the tip of the iceberg as both eventually are confronted with homosexual relationships in their own lives and then in turn each has to grapple with the possibility that his son/father is homosexual.

* BettyAndVeronica: A peculiar example, where the Betty is a [[{{Seme}} disillusioned, embittered 35 year old man]] and the Veronica is a younger male [[TheVamp Vamp]].

* CastFullOfGay: Not counting side-characters by the end Nagaya, Shino, Tenryuu, and Mizusawa have had relationships with both genders and Fuse identifies as gay.
* ChildrenRaiseYou: Shino has never loved another person after Misao, doesn't have friends outside of work and is in many ways emotionally immature. Nakaya's coming to live with him is a growing experience for both of them

* GayAesop: Occuring in a very weird way in the manga. Both Shino and Nakaya are uncomfortable about their father/son pursuing a queer relationship despite that they are both doing the same thing, and Nakaya even gets Tenryuu to promise that if Shino ''or'' himself ever fall in love with a woman to immediately bow out, to which Tenryuu quickly agrees. It is fairly realistic though considering the manga began in 1996 and is set in Japan. What Nakaya and Shino are basically saying is "[[IJustWantToBeNormal I just want]] ''[[IJustWantToBeNormal you]]'' [[IJustWantToBeNormal to be normal]] because it will be easier for you if you're heterosexual."

** Fuse does this as well. He admits to having feelings for Nakaya, but thinks the latter should have some time to grow up and gain some perspective before entering into a serious relationship.
* LoveTriangle: TriangRelations type 4. In spite of his determination Mizusawa is never presented as a genuine contender for Shino's feelings, while Shino does eventually accept his feelings for Tenryuu.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Shino is 33 and gets mistaken as younger than his 17 year old son sometimes. He also has the naivete to go along with it.

* ParentWithNewParamour: By the end of the manga this is more or less the plot. Initially Nakaya and Tenryuu get along (1), but Nakaya is also nervous about older men in general (2), when he finds out that Tenryuu wants Shino he is very averse to the idea and starts to dislike him (3). It's suggested while he gets used to Tenryuu in the end, he's never entirely happy with his father's choice in a partner.

* TeenPregnancy: Misao becomes pregnant when her and Shino are both 17. Nakaya also gets a pregnancy scare with his girlfriend at the same age, though thankfully it doesn't pan out.
* ThickerThanWater: Both what this manga is essentially about, and yet in the end it's decided it isn't. Because Shino is his father Nakaya seeks him out hoping to form a familial relationship, and they do begin to grow close, but they're often at odds with one another and how they are supposed to act around each other. In the end Nakaya decides that though he might have greater claim to Shino because of their blood relationship, it would go against his dad's happiness to force him to reject Tenryuu, so Nakaya gives up his stake and moves out.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Nakaya's best friend and girlfriend actually become this by the end. Once he gets obsessed with Fuse he almost completly leaves them behind and when they show up it's often together and often to complain that they don't hang out anymore.
* UnwantedHarem: Shino develops one when he simultaneously becomes a dad and starts doing BoysLove cds. Tenryuu and Mizusawa are the main participants but others like Nakaya's teacher jump on the bandwagon too.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Tenryuu and Shino drag their UST out for some time. Tenryuu not wanting to waste his time beating around the bush but Shino is neither emotionally nor pyschologically prepared for another relationship, particularly not a homosexual one.

Ultimately a SliceOfLife family drama in which the characters deal with trying to sort out a father-son relationship that comes 17 years too late, and their own very conflicted love lives. Often funny, and by the end is pretty much [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Bittersweetly Heartwarming]]: The Manga.

* {{Defictionalization}}: The mangaka later created ''DietGirlMiyuki'', one of the anime Shino voices for.
