{{quote|''We were alive on this planet, then they arrived.''}}
Imagine ''[[The Happening]]'' turned into a shounen series. And not sucking.
Line 14:
When Taisuke learns that the Comrades are gathering "up north," he leaves home on his bike, trying to figure out his powers along the way. Joining up with rogue Comrades Yuta and Nami, he sets out to rescue Megumi and Hirose, and may learn the true definition of "alive" along the way.
The '''''Alive: The Final Evolution''''' manga has been fairly successful, and was being made into an anime until the company doing it suffered economic problems and cancelled the project. The manga-ka, Tadashi Kawashima, [[Author Existence Failure|passed away]] [http://www.animenewsnetwork.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Yuta's dad actually kicked him out of the house. In his defense, he suspects Yuta is responsible for the death of his wife, and Yuta's [[Creepy Child]] behavior at the time certainly didn't help.
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Taisuke, to Nami. Needless to say, he is lucky to be alive.
* [[Action Girl]]: Nami, Kanon, D4. All of them show a certain degree of [[Worf Effect]] and are pretty damn girly, but they do actually manage to be considerable powers with impacts on plot development despite this.
* [[A
** [[Fridge Logic]]: Actually, the boobies would probably have saved her even if they had been real, marking a shocking moment of unprofessional stabbing from a very expert killer.
* [[All Monks Know Kung Fu]]: Asou. He's a Catholic ''priest'', but the trope still applies.
Line 27:
* [[An Ice Person]]: Nami. Naturally, she's also a [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]. A [[Tsundere]] one.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: It is that kind of a series.
* [[Anti
* [[Author Existence Failure]]: He finished the series, but died shortly afterwards, thus barely averting this trope.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Most of the Comrades. Especially Kanon. This may be because that type of 'hole in your heart' makes it easier to resist the call of death than more ordinary damage does, or just that [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]], absent [[Heroic Willpower]]. Katsumata's brainwashing can't help.
Line 34:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Hirose. Or, alternately, Taisuke, once he [[Takes a Level In Badass]].
* [[Blind Seer]]: A minor Comrade. {{spoiler|He later kills himself, afraid of what's coming.}}
* [[Bratty Half
* [[Brother
* [[Bully Hunter]]: Taisuke.
* [[Character Blog]]: Used in an omake.
Line 45:
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Yuta and Asou. Inverted with Nami, who they had to recruit specifically because they ''couldn't'' beat her.
* [[Designated Girl Fight]]: D4 vs. Nami in all her [[Fan Service]] glory. (She got Kanon in an earlier fight set, but that was [[You Killed My Father|a matter of vengeance]].)
* [[
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: All victims of the suicide virus. Think ''[[The Happening]]'', but they're much more enthusiastic about it. Happy.
* [[Enfante Terrible]]: Mitama.
* [[Escort Mission]]: An odd manga variation in that Taisuke is stuck with Megumi clinging to his arm while other Comrades are all out to kill him. (Because if she lets go, she'll automatically and instantly die by superpower; she's not an ''idiot'',)
* [[Go Out
* [[Healing Factor]]: Used and averted. All comrades have this as a secondary ability, but any wound inflicted by Taisuke can't heal, as Morio learned the hard way...
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: Asou. To his credit though, he ''was'' [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]...
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Yura, sort of.}} He also went through a bizarre species of [[Art Evolution]], from utterly disgusting to bishie.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Yoko, a literal school nurse, and has no problem with using it to get what she wants. It comes back to bite her when one of her coworkers confesses to her right before killing himself.
* [[Hoist
* [[Hot
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Amamiya and Oda. Subverted in that Oda isn't that enthusiastic and is mostly being dragged along by Amamiya.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Hirose when he {{spoiler|erases Haruka}}.
* [[Kiss Kiss Slap]]: {{spoiler|Nami kisses Taisuke only to slap him afterwards in Chapter 73.}}
* [[Laser
** Katsumata did this Megumi for a while, in an effort to keep Hirose and her under control.
** {{spoiler|Taisuke}} suffers from this at the beginning of the second story arc. It was pretty comprehensive, and rather disappointing, since he lost most of his [[Character Development]]. He gets better.
Line 70:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Yoko and Nami. Oh so much.
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Hooooo boy. Nearly ''every single antagonist''.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: {{spoiler|Hirose,}} once he goes [[One
** It's not exactly [[One
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Taisuke and Yoko's parents are dead, {{spoiler|which Taisuke is indirectly responsible for.}} Yuta's mom succumbed to the suicide virus right in front of him. Nami's dad is missing, and her mom has gone insane. And then there's Hirose...
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: {{spoiler|How Taisuke, Yuta and Nami survived the second coming of the suicide virus.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Powers Via Possession]]: Comrades gain their powers from the knowledge of the arcane workings of the universe contained within the [[Death Seeker]] ghost trying to make them kill themselves.}}
* [[Playing
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The Comrades.
* [[Rival Turned Evil]]: Hirose.
* [[Sexy Priest]]: Asou.
* [[Spanner in
* [[The Stoic]]: Nami.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Taisuke. Just look at the food he manages to make while on the road. {{spoiler|Eventually trains to become an actual chef because of this.}}
Line 85:
* [[Third Person Person]]: Kanon.
* [[Three Amigos]]: Taisuke, Hirose, and Megumi. Taisuke, Yuta, and Nami.
* [[Touched
* [[Tsundere]]: Megumi and Nami.
* [[Two Guys and
* [[Unexpected Genre Change]]: The thing starts off as a supernatural thriller, but around the time we meet Yuta, the thing turns into a full-blown action series. And then it changes back to thriller!
* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]: The protagonists swap clothes quite a bit, which is a little odd when you remember that Taisuke, Nami, and Yuta are all runaways surviving on whatever Taisuke can earn with short, part-time jobs. Partially justified in that they get into fights and require a change of clothes afterward, but sometimes it seems to be just for the sake of a new outfit.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Hirose towards Megumi.
* [[Walking the Earth]]
* [[Well
** Also, {{spoiler|Katsumura himself was actually only doing everything in an attempt to kill Mitama and (he believed) save humanity.}}
* [[White
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: {{spoiler|How the suicide virus came about. It's actually the result of immortal minds possessing people so that they can kill themselves along with the mortal bodies.}}
* [[Yangire]]: Kanon has a tendency to blow up things she doesn't like. This can range from cars (in order to kill a small child who accidentally ran into her), glasses (because the wearer was ugly), and GPS systems (because it didn't work).
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: Yura's preferred method of execution.
