Barajou no Kiss

Anise and all her boys, not that she wants them.

Title Translation: Kiss of the Rose Princess

So you think your father is a manipulative bastard out to ruin your life? Anise Yamamoto would like to compare notes if you wouldn't mind.

First her father straps her with a choker that won't come off and he claims is a amulet of protection. When said choker finally does come off (through no efforts of her own) she finds herself saddled with four teenage boys calling themselves her 'Rose Knights,' who use her blood to fuel their magic, a vague prophecy of doom, and then her father decides to come home.

Anise can summon the boys via color coded cards and order them to do her bidding. They must do what she says or get beaten with rose thorns. Downside to having a quartet of hot guys who have to do your bidding or face rose thorns of doom is that said magic is powered off her blood. (This is strongly implied to be the only reason Anise doesn't run around trying to take over the world.) Her father is trying to replicate the Rose Contracts for reasons unknown and likes to mess with Anise's head on the side.

This would be your bog standard Shoujo manga except for the Author's fondness for subverting, inverting, and genderflipping Shoujo norms.

Tropes used in Barajou no Kiss include:

Angst Coma: Mutsuki, having spent years in sleep, suffers amnesia after killing his older brother. Averted as he collapsed before actually killing him.
Archnemesis Dad: Pity poor Anise, not only is her father the school doctor, he is literally out to ruin her life in the most sadistic ways possible.
Artificial Human: Seiran. He looks like a teenage bishie. He's actually a three-year-old homonculus.
Always Save the Girl: Subverted as the Rose Knights are forced to do this by their Magically-Binding Contract.
- Gender Flipped with Anise and her knights because when they are in trouble she'll ignore everything else to save them.
Badass Longcoat: Mutsuki and Tenjou are really fond of these. Though all the boys except Kaede gets in on the action at least once.
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Kaede and Anise.
Bishie Sparkle: Tenjou does this all the time.
Breakout Character: Mutsuki.
Calling Your Attacks: Tenjou loves to do this.
- And Anise loves to lampshade it.
Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: Inverted as the only one that Tenjou is perverted around is Anise.
Cast Full of Pretty Boys: Occasionally Lampshaded.
Cavalry Betrayal: Mutsuki, joined his brother who is with the Villains. Averted as Mutsuki and Tenjoh were The Chessmaster planning to know the location of the machine.
Clingy MacGuffin: The cards... won't... go... away...
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The Knights. The color of their rose matchs with their hairs.
Creepy Child: Seiran. Don't believe me? In one chapter, he whips up a high end explosive in about 3 seconds, and detonates it with a smile on his face. He has apparently been using hallucinogens on Kaede for years, admits to trying to dose Anis with a love potion, carries around an acid strong enough to melt steel, and his medicines, although effective, are so horrific that they make there drinker's "See Hell", according to Kaede.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Anise. So, so much.
- Badass Damsel: Yamamoto Anis will not take any of these dimension warping shenanigans sitting down, thank you very much! She may have just been informed that her father intends to sacrifice her to a seal of unknown demonic origin and otherwise make her life hell, but she is not going to just sit around and mope. No. She is going to kick her Knights' collective asses into gear. And you will obey or you will get the rose thorns of doom.
Cross-Popping Veins: Anise gets these pretty much any time she has to deal with Tenjou for an extended period of time. Or whenever Kaede talks back to her, which is often.

Say It with Hearts: If Anise is suddenly spouting hearts in her sentences just do whatever the heck it is she wants or face rose thorns of doom.

- And now, Kaede's normality is gone.
Trauma-Induced Amnesia: Mutsuki, I guess having your whole race killed by your brother, and then you killing him was enough to put you to sleep for 200 years. It took Dreaming the Truth to start remembering everything.
Unwanted Harem: Anise and her Rose Knights. Though god help you if you mess with any of them as she will find away to kick your teeth in.
