[[File:Iris0_0101_226.jpg|frame]]
An Iris is a special power in someone's eyes that, basically, allows a person to see an [[Augmented Reality]]. These abilities range from telling a person what's for dinner to [[Reincarnation|identifying someone's past lives]].
Toru Mizushima is part of that 1%; he, like the adults, doesn't have an Iris. In other words, he's an "[[Title Drop|Iris Zero]]", and in the past he was [[All of the Other Reindeer|a target for discrimination and was frequently bullied]] because of his lack of an Iris. Now he's getting by according to a principle of "low exposure" - to live without standing out.
Line 9:
Although reluctant to help considering the amount of attention he'd get, Toru plays along to help her regardless, and gets Koyuki herself elected to be the [[Student Council President]]. Unfortunately, much to Toru's exasperation, Koyuki has already become a part of his life, with all the attention that comes with it.
This semi-[[Shounen]] (believe it or not, this is a [[Seinen]] series) fantasy [[Manga]] written by Piro Shiki and Hotaru Takana, '''''Iris Zero''''', tells of Toru's time in high school as he struggles to maintain his low profile while assisting the ever-annoying (well, to him anyway) Koyuki who stands out too much. Rounding out the cast are [[Eyes Always Shut|Hijiri Shinonuka]], Toru's only friend who sees past Toru for being an Iris Zero; [[Fiery Redhead|Asahi Yuki]], Koyuki's friend; [[Emotionless Girl|Nanase Kuga]], who's even more withdrawn than Toru; and [[Stoic Spectacles|Harumi Tokita]], Kuga's [[Childhood Friends|childhood friend]].

{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: Inverted; the student council members seem to get exploited heavily by teachers and students to run errands and do busywork. Poor Sasamori, the council president, can't say no, either.
* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: {{spoiler|Toru}} Completely understandable. Nice job, {{spoiler|Kuga}}
Line 18:
{{quote|'''Koyuki''': There's no way the big-chested Asahi-chan would understand how we flat-chested people feel!
'''Kuga''': Yeah! }}
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: In two ways: first, in that less than 1% of eligible adults possess an Iris (with those older than
** During the "Iris Hunter" arc, only the one teacher even ''cares'' enough to intervene in any way in something that's obviously afflicting the entire student body, because they don't consider something related to Irises to be their problem.
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Tokita seems to be [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] for Kuga, who likes Houjou, who has unrequited feelings for {{spoiler|Sasamori.}} Sasamori likes Toru, but even if he deeply cares for her, he remains [[Oblivious to Love]]. Fortunately, this seems to improve a little within time.
** And in Hijiri's flashback, Katagiri liked Hijiri who liked Tachibana. Nobody got out of that with the person they wanted, either.
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Toru, because he's an Iris Zero. Implied that other Iris Zeroes get this treatment.
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Toru, developed originally as a mode of social self-defense. Until outed as a Zero, he was even able to trick others into believing he had an Iris that could see how others' Irises worked.▼
* [[Everyone Is a Super|Almost Everyone Is A Super]]
▲* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Toru, developed originally as a mode of social self-defense. Until outed as a Zero, he was even able to trick others into believing he had an Iris that could see how others' Irises worked.
* [[Apologises a Lot]]: Sasamori.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Toru
Line 47:
** Class 2-6: Koyuki Sasamori, Hijiri Shinozuka, and Asahi Yuki.
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Toru. To his extreme annoyance. Asahi and Sasamori take it as a given that he'll help anyone in need.
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: It's a manga drawn in a [[Moe|cute]] [[Puni Plush|art style]] about a [[Ineffectual Loner|loner boy]] who teams up with his popular, friendly classmate and begins coming out of his shell, set in a world where most young people have magical powers that let them "[[Augmented Reality|see]]" various things. Sounds pretty sweet, right? Only the loner is the way he is due to years of being [[All of the Other Reindeer|viciously bullied]] for not having a power, and he gets teased even worse after making friends with the aforementioned classmate; meanwhile, many of the people who do have powers are troubled by them, to the point where one person tries to erase everybody's magic. That being said,
* [[The Cynic]]/[[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Toru is a bitter pessimist who wants as little as possible to do with the rest of the world and his peers... except it's incredibly easy to get him to help solve problems and make things better for other people, even someone responsible for his life as an outcast.
* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]}}: {{spoiler|Kuga's father used to abuse her and possibly even cheated on her mother, but Kuga couldn't tell her mother because she didn't want to hurt her feelings. It still came out anyway, and led to her parents' divorce.}}
Line 84:
* [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]: Almost all of the Irises would be considered a joke in another manga.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Sasamori describes Toru and Hijiri as a "happy couple," with each being the first one the other goes to for anything, including company for lunch despite being in different classes
* [[Humans Are
* [[I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship]]: {{spoiler|It's one of the reasons Toru pretends that he doesn't notice Sasamori's feelings for him.}}
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: Sasamori admits to Toru that she's a little jealous of his "ability" to see the world as it is, without some kind of filter over it. Toru, meanwhile, is quite bitter about being "normal" by the previous generation's standards and not his own.
