** Daisuke, throughout the manga. He gradually comes to develop a crush on Hinako, but resolves himself to secrecy when she flat-out tells him the reason she's (relatively) comfortable with him is that he doesn't see her "as a woman". He spends most of the manga terrified that she'll fear him if she finds out he's in love with her.

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale: Kazuki and Daisuke's relationship isn't the worst example, but her abuse of him (stalking, verbal abuse, harassment, false accusations, manipulation etc) is treated as nothing more than an annoyance by most of the characters. Izumi seems to be the only character with anywhere near the appropriate attitude to this behaviour. Particularly off-putting when one considers that the story as a whole revolves around Hinako's attempts to recover from abuse. And when Daisuke gives Yamamoto a DeathGlare for pinning Hinako to a wall, completely oblivious to the fact that Kazuki has been giving him the same treatment for almost the entire story.

* YamatoNadeshiko: Hinako definitely has a lot of the traits associated with this archetype - she's sweet, humble, and outwardly extremely vulnerable, but she shows plenty of unexpected courage in confronting those who harm her or people she cares about (albeit, understandably, usually only if they're female).

* TraumaCongaLine: Oh Hinako. First she looses her father at a very young age, then she is continually raped by her stepfather starting from the age of 12 or 13, slapped and called a liar by her mother when she tries to tell her, impregnated, suffers a (painful) miscarriage, impregnated ''again'' by her stepfather, and has to undergo C-section to deliver the baby, whom she never sees before he is given up for adoption (and the thought of whom continues to haunt her). She lives alone for a year after her second pregnancy with no-one to support or care for her, despite her horrible trauma (and likely undiagnosed PTSD), and spends her school days in isolation, which is only broken when Kazuki and her gang begin to bully her after Daisuke begins showing interest in her. Oh yeah, and she was attacked, beaten and nearly raped ''again'' by that pervert.
