After the point where the anime leaves off, the manga gets...weird. And it only gets weirder as it goes on, first turning into a hentai and then getting stranger from there to the point where Kintaro becomes so obsessed with a particular girl that he gives up his own life and personality to basically become a copy of her. For fans of the anime it's a serious case of MoodWhiplash, and it doesn't take long for it to stop feeling even remotely like the same character and story.

* AuthorFillibuster: As the manga slowly but surely shifted away from its lighthearted comedy roots, it became clear that author Tatsuya Egawa started using his manga to voice some of his personal beliefs regarding society in Japan at the time.

And it only gets weirder as it goes on, first turning into a hentai and then getting stranger from there to the point where Kintaro becomes so obsessed with a particular girl that he gives up his own life and personality to basically become a copy of her. Yeah. For fans of the anime it's a serious case of MoodWhiplash, and it doesn't take long for it to stop feeling even remotely like the same character and story.

In 2010, Tatsuya came back with ''Golden Boy II - Sasurai no Obenkyou Yarou Geinoukai Ooabare-hen'', which ran in ''Business Jump'' until 2011. As the name implies it's a sequel of the original series, but it remains fairly unknown, in contrast to the original boom.

* ArtEvolution: Golden Boy II is this in all aspects, considering it began serialization more than ''a decade'' after the original Golden Boy's ending, Tatsuya really evolved his art style.
