* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Acting withdrawn and avoiding people, even if you're just traumatized and scared, is going to make a few people annoyed with you, as seen with Daisuke (at the start) and Yamamoto.

''Bitter Virgin'' is a {{seinen}} manga by Kei Kusunoki, which ran in ''Young Gangan'' from 2005 to 2008.

When it comes to men, Hinako Aikawa has problems -- problems which she confesses to an empty and abandoned church. Unbeknownst to her, her classmate, local [[TheCasanovacasanova]] Casanova Daisuke Suwa, was hiding in said church to dodge his henpecking Childhood Friend Yuzu Yamamoto and his wanna-be girlfriend Kazuki Ibuse. At first he tries to shoo Hinako away, but eventually relents. He expects to hear a minor confession, and instead receives the shock of his life in learning of [[AbusiveParents years of abuse]] Hinako suffered. Sexual abuse from her stepfather that got her pregnant not once, but ''twice'', and resulted in at least one birth to a child one year prior, when Hinako was fifteen.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: [[spoiler:Eventually, TheyDo. Not that [[NobodyThinksItWillWork anyone expects them to stick together for long.]]]]

** Before finally realizing the truth, Hinako's mother. While preparing for the abortion, she tells Hinako how they're going to keep secret what a "terrible kid" she is from her stepfather, and just how shameful another pregnancy.

** Possibly some ValuesDissonance at play. In Japan, the high school one gets into matters more than the distance from where they live. It's not unusual for students to live independently from their family if the commute is too long.

* ParentalObliviousness: It took her daughter getting pregnant ''twice'' for Hinako's mother to finally accept her daughter was in fact being raped by her stepfather.

* PantyShot: A ''plot-relevant'' one, it reveals her cesarean section scar, dispelling Daisuke's doubts concerning Hinako's story.

* AdultFear: The rarely brought up topic of miscarriage is featured. It also features the life of a girl whose stepfather raped her while her mother was in complete denial when told about it (to the point of thinking her daughter was lying to cover up who she was sleeping with), until the poor girl got pregnant for the second time.

* NobodyThinksItWillWork: In the final chapter. [[spoiler:While Yuzu and Kazuki give up their pursuit of Daisuke, they do so feeling that he and Hinako are bound to break up sooner or later, leaving things open for them to try again. If only because Daisuke's mother will eventually find out about Hinako's history, despise her for it, and try to separate them. Meanwhile, Daisuke and Hinako themselves believe that the other will eventually find a more suitable partner, but hope to make the most of their relationship until then.
