a.k.a. Dazzle! (Stupid Tokyopop giving Contemptible Names)

Hatenkou Yuugi (which tranlates to "Unprecedented Game") is a manga written by Minari Endou, starting in November 1999, and is still ongoing. There was also a 10 episode anime released during the winter season of 2008.

Summary:
A young girl named Rahzel is kicked out of her house, by her adoptive father and told to "go out and see the world". Shortly afterwards, Rahzel teams up with the albino Alzeid, who is searching for the person who murdered his father, and the Chivalrous Pervert Baroqueheat. The manga follows their journey as they meet friends, enemies and supernatural entities.


Tropes include:

  Baroqueheat: It'd be nice if all the women in the world could be happy. All the men can spit up blood and go to hell. All but me, of course.

 Rahzel: "For breaking this rule, you will have to be severely punished!"

 These are a family heirloom, passed down for generations.

This pair of scissors belonged to a friend of mine who became one with the wind this summer.

They were given to me by my sister on my birthday.

These scissors are proof of adulthood in my clan.

When you defeat a lion barehanded, you're awarded a pair of scissors.

  • Mundane Wish: In a side story where they're making wishes on a meteor shower, Rahzel wishes that they can all watch the meteors again next year.
  • My Name Is Not Durwood: Rayborn (aka Spicy Diamond).
    • Saivah's not too happy either when Alzeid starts calling him Thomas.
  • The Nicknamer: Rahzel.
  • No Sense of Direction: Rahzel, as Alzeid is all too fond of reminding her.
  • Not a Morning Person: Both Alzeid and Rahzel, but especially Alzeid.
  • Nun-Too-Holy: Father Jelice Bryah.
  • Odd Couple: Alzeid, Baroqueheat and Rahzel.
  • Ojou: Li-nya (second type), explains all the power she wields.
  • Older Than They Look: Serateed, Kiara, Branowen, Baroqueheat, Alzeid's brother, Enero Carboverde
  • One-Winged Angel: The Angel Text was intended to turn people into this.
  • Overprotective Dad: Rahzel's adoptive father, perhaps surprisingly.
    • Also Jenfoupe, Larawell's father.
  • Paper Fan of Doom: Rahzel uses one against the other Alzeid when he bursts into her school (and then ignores her to have a fight with Fay).
  • Parental Abandonment: Rahzel's adoptive father kicks her out- sends her to see the world.
    • Rahzel's biological father left her to die. Feeling bad about this he eventually went back to rescue her but she was already gone.
  • The Plan: It's heavily hinted that Kiara has one of these going on, we just don't know the details.
  • Play-Along Prisoner: All three main characters, but especially Alzeid.
  • Real Men Eat Meat: Alzeid.
  • Reincarnation Romance: The ghost passes on and says that she will love someone in another life.
  • Relax-O-Vision: Twice. First used when Rahzel and Baroqueheat give Rayborn a haircut, and second when Rahzel's Overprotective Dad finds out just how Baroqueheat acts around Rahzel.
  • Sacred First Kiss: Baroqueheat steals Rahzel's (and probably Alzeid's) first kiss shortly after meeting them.
  • Sadly Mythtaken: Prometheus created humans in the image of the gods?
  • Say It With Hearts: Rahzel!
    • The ghost too.
    • Baroqueheat at times too.
    • Father Jelice Bryah as well too.
  • Schizo-Tech: Although the science of this world is highly advanced, the main forms of transportation seem to be horse and carriage, trains, and walking.
  • Shout-Out: Rahzel and Baroqueheat compared Alzeid to Winnie the Pooh once.
  • Sleeves Are for Wimps: Baroqueheat rarely wears sleeves.
  • Smoking Is Cool: Most notably, Baroqueheat.
  • Spell My Name With an "S": Lina, refers to herself as Li-nya.
  • Social Darwinist: Alzeid in his speech about animals (humans included) in this pyramid: Plants< Herbivores< Small Carnivores< Large Carnivores< Star (representing himself).

  Alzeid: "All living things exist to be eaten (including humans). Natural selection is the rule of the world.
