* This trope proves to be a godsend for, Godai, the male lead of the manga, ''MaisonIkkoku''. The young man was trained in early childhood education and hoping to work in a elementary school, until he was laid off and the only work he could find was a strip joint. After a humiliating period as a street barker, things turned around when one of the dancers, who is a single mother who couldn't afford daycare, was forced to bring her toddler to work. In this situation, Godai is ordered to take care of the child safely out of sight in the back and does so well that the other dancers, predominately single mothers themselves, ask him to take care of their kids. Pretty soon, Godai is running an excellent daycare centre at the strip joint and is deeply valued by the rest of the staff.
