Line 2:
A [[Boys Love]] manga series by You Higuri (mangaka of [[Gakuen Heaven]]), set in Victorian era France. Currently a four-part series and a one-shot sequel, with more on the way.
Paris is in an uproar over the famous and notorious [[Phantom Thief]] Noir, aka usurer Ray Balzac Courland. A [[Impoverished Patrician|peniless aristocratic]] woman seeks Ray out to help with her family debts, and is forced to give him the only thing she can as collateral - her son, Florian du Rochefort. Their relationship starts off quite rocky, but this being BL, things run their natural course as the pair go on treasure hunting adventures, try (unsuccessfully) to fool the [[Private Detective
The main story is available in English from Tokyopop's BLU imprint, and the ''Gorgeous Carat Galaxy'' spinoff is licensed by DMP's Juné imprint.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: The [[Ho Yay]] between the heroes isn't as blatant as other [[Boys Love]] series, but that just makes the sweet moments all the sweeter. {{spoiler|Like Florian (and Ray, but it's not quite as poignant when he does it) willing to give his life for Ray. And Ray increasing Florian's debt so that he can never leave him.}}▼
* [[All Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks]]: Averted and played with. Ray jokes about being this, but he goes out of his way to prevent Florian from being able to pay him back.▼

* [[Dead Little Sister]]
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Florian. It's the eyes...
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Intimate Healing]]: Azura does the [[Medicine Kiss]] variation. {{spoiler|That ain't medicine, though, and he ain't trying to heal.}}
* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Azura, many times.}}
▲* [[
* [[Love At First Sight]]: The relationship starts off quite one-sided. Ray just needed one look at those eyes. More of a 'desire for possession at first sight'.
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Very much Florian
* [[Paper
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Pretty much everyone.
* [[Phantom Thief]]
* [[Private Detective]]: Solomon Sugar.
* [[Rape
* [[Secret Identity]]

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Poor Laila.
* [[Whip It Good]]: Ray.
* [[White
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Ray and Florian aren't the type of couple to fall into bed together by the end of the first volume. {{spoiler|They don't even kiss until the end of the fourth volume, and it isn't really shown. We're still waiting for outright declarations of love, and sex.}}
* [[The Woobie]]: Eleonora is pretty batshit. But you would be too if, as a child, {{spoiler|your mother was killed by your father, then your maternal uncle showed up and killed your father in front of you - and oh yeah, your maternal uncle is your real father. Uncle/father then molests you, and keeps you locked up with your dead mother.}} Whew.
* <s>[[Yaoi Fangirl]]</s>[[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fanboy]]: Ray and Azura embrace in a Muslim greeting. Everyone misunderstands. it is Noel, the ''five year old boy'', who is squealing with glee, little hearts floating around him.
