{{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 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.
Line 54:
* [[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-Blooded]]: Taisuke.
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]
Line 75:
* [[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.
