Ill Girl: Difference between revisions

Line 120:

* Three show up in [[Honoo no Alpen Rose]]: Clara (temporary but plot-important illness {{spoiler|that has her brother rat out Jeudi and lundi to get money for her medicine}}), Marie ( {{spoiler|confined to a wheelchair, but starts to walk after befriending Lundi}}, and specially {{spoiler|Jeudi's [[Missing Mom]] Helene (weak heart and almost total blindness after the accident that separated her from Jeudi.)}}

* One of the two reasons why [[Haou Airen|Kurumi Akino]] [[Promotion to Parent|is the main breadwinner]] of the family is that her mother is an ill girl and thus she cannot take a regular job. The other is that Kurumi's father died two years before the story started.

* Asa Shigure from [[~~Shuffle~~]] suffers a mysterious illness that often leaves her bedridden, and starts becoming worse as time passes. {{spoiler|It's not an illness, but [[Power Incontinence]]: her weak half-demon body cannot handle the strong magic inherited from her mother, the demon Ama, but Asa utterly refuses to use said power because Ama suffered ''horribly'' due to them and thus she doesn't want her mother to be sad. Rin has to [[Take a Third Option|take a VERY risky third option]] to force her release said energy, and almost dies for it.}}

* Kiku from ''Idaten Jump'', also {{spoiler|[[Ninja|Kouhei]]'s little sister}} and the local [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]. {{spoiler|Her illness turns out to be a consequence of the disbalance between the X Zone and Earth, and once it's fixed she starts to get better.}}

Line 354:

** He also [[Exploited Trope|exploits]] this trope to avoid punishment from, say, mentally bullying his sister as he's often seen to be too frail to be physically punished.

* Aslan Battour in the [[Backstory]] arc of ''[[Kaze to Ki no Uta]]'' ({{spoiler|in the main timeline he's [[Posthumous Character|already dead]]}}) seems to be a deliberate male version of the werstern "consumptive heroine" archetype; a young, [[Bishonen|pretty]] 19th century French [[Blue Blood|aristocrat]] suffering from [[Victorian Novel Disease|tuberculosis]].

* Subverted and parodied mercilessly by the manga-only character of Densuke in ''[[Ranma ½~~|Ranma 1/2~~]]''. He is a sickly, bedridden boy who muses that he will die by the time the last persimmon falls from the tree outside his window... cue female Ranma coming by with a huge sack to pick all the persimmons herself. Densuke's illness is never specified, however, he is relatively healthy (if abnormally weak) and all it would take to cure him is a single dose of a powdered medicine. He refuses to take it, though, unless [[Intimate Healing|delivered mouth-to-mouth by a pretty nurse]].

** Parodied earlier in both the Manga and the anime by the "ill boy" who insisted on keeping Genma (in his Panda form) as a pet. It turns out he isn't sick, just lazy (and spoiled.)

* In ''[[Detective Conan]]'', [[Dojikko|Eisuke Hondou]]'s important [[Backstory|backstories]] were all when he was hospitalized; first due to leukuemia and then due to accident. In the first case, he was saved due to his older sister's marrow donation, {{spoiler|which changed his blood type.}}
