Line 12:
This is a great series for those seeking a more unique take on the male/male genre, interesting characters, and endearing storyline. And when watching or reading, [[Tear Jerker|be sure to have some tissues ready.]]
 
Also has a [[Kaze to Ki no Uta (Manga)/Characters|character sheet]], so please help out with the blurbs!
 
{{tropelist}}
Line 40:
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]] - This is Pascal in a nutshell.
* [[Broken Bird]] - Gilbert could probably count as one of those rare male examples. For comparison, have a look at another male example, Souma in the manga series ''[[Sakura Gari]]'', which has a lot of similarities in style with ''KazeKi'', with both Souma and Gilbert having very similar backstories and behaviour (i.e. rape, trauma, death, and a ''lot'' of [[Break the Cutie]]).
* {{spoiler|[[Bury Your Gays]]/ [[Death Byby Sex]] - Poor Gilbert didn't have a chance, did he?}}
* [[But I Would Really Enjoy It]] - Serge towards {{spoiler|Patricia}}, it seems.
* [[Class Representative]] - Carl. His official title is "Student Director" but it amounts to the same thing.
Line 50:
* [[Christianity Is Catholic]] - [[Justified Trope|Justified]] since it's set in a Catholic school in a predominately Catholic country.
* [[The Dandy]] - Rosemarine, at least in appearance.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]] / {{spoiler|[[Rape Asas Backstory]]}} - Gilbert, Auguste, and Rosemarine, to different degrees. Gilbert [[Trauma Conga Line|got the worst of it]].
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] - Gilbert is a male example.
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]] - ''Koufuku no Hato'', the one-shot epilogue to the story, focuses on Rosemarine and Jules.
* [[Demoted to Extra]] - Sebastien, a reasonably significant character even early on in the manga, only appears twice in the OVA and doesn't do much. Patricia and Jules, who become important characters later on, don't appear at all.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]] - {{spoiler|Gilbert's drug addiction.}}
Line 79:
* [[Gonk]] - The character designs of some of the extras are...interesting.
* [[Good People Have Good Sex]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]] - Auguste has some rather nasty scarring on his torso {{spoiler|from when his step-brother tried to [[Kill It Withwith Fire|burn him]] after discovering Auguste was sleeping with his wife}}. On the good side, Angeline has some noticable burn-scarring on her face {{spoiler|following an incident where her hair caught alight on a fireplace when she was trying to save Serge from a punishment she thought he didn't deserve}}.
* [[Gorgeous Period Dress]] - School uniform aside, Gilbert's ''entire wardrobe'' seems to consist of this.
* [[Hates Being Touched]] - Rosemarine, by everyone except Jules and later Serge. {{spoiler|It's all Auguste's fault.}}
Line 132:
* [[Shout-Out]]
** Serge's father was named Aslan, almost certainly in reference to ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]''.
** Also, in volume two, some boys are seen completing an ''[[Astro Boy (Mangamanga)|Astro Boy]]'' jigsaw puzzle. [[MST3K Mantra|We'll just ignore how little sense that makes in 19th century France.]]
* [[Single-Issue Psychology]] - Rosemarine would be a lot more stable if he hadn't {{spoiler|been raped by Auguste}}.
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]] - Gilbert and Serge take this to ''ridiculous'' levels.
Line 139:
* [[So Beautiful It's a Curse]] - Gilbert, arguably.
* [[Something Else Also Rises]] - easy to miss, but some of those "random shôjo flower moments" actually read as this.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]] - Is the school named Lacombrade or Laconblade? Meanwhile, the headaches that the characters' names cause are covered on the character sheet; Gilbert's about the only one whose name is spelt consistently.
* [[Spiritual Successor]] - To Takemiya's earlier oneshot ''Natsu e no Tobira'' (''The Door to Summer''), in that they both revolve around 14-year-old boys at a French boarding school.
* [[Spot of Tea]] - Tea seems to be involved in nearly all of Jules' scenes, and at one point he rambles about how much it means to him.
Line 152:
* [[Troubled but Cute]] - Gilbert, and how. In fact, it wouldn't be ''too'' inaccurate to call him a male [[Broken Bird]].
* [[Tsutomu Kashiwakura]] - Carl's voice actor in the OVA.
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]] - Serge, to a degree. [[Break the Cutie|Less so later on]].
* [[Will They or Won't They?]] - {{spoiler|They do}}.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]] - Serge gets this quite a few times, especially in the 16th volume.
