Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:~~kurobara_3957~~kurobara 3957.jpg\|frame]] ''Vampires are creatures that end their lives in the arms of the women they love''. Vienna. 1906. The young tenor singer Dimitri miraculously escaped with his life after a severe accident. But soon after that, strange cases of group-suicides started to happen all around him. All comes to an explanation: after the incident in which he almost perished, he actually was ''turned into a vampire'' ~~-- and~~—and he's the cause of these group suicides. Not to mention the people who made him a vampire seems to think he's the sucessor of their leader, Lord Bradley. And then, it gets ''much worse''... specially when this involves Agnieszka von Rosenfelt, the girl that Dimitri loves, and tragedy strikes. Tokyo. 2008. Azusa Kikukawa is an uptight but beautiful music teacher, and young Kouya Ikushima (the son of her coworker) is the only student that doesn't think she's a buzzkill; they're secetly dating, though she has serious doubts and misgivings about their relationship. But right before she dumps him... they get involved in an horrible accident, and Kouya takes the worst part of it. Azusa doesn't want him to die, of course, and when the poor woman is despairing about it, she is given a [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]: in exchange for Kouya's life, she'll become a vampire. Who is giving her said option? None other than Dimitri, who tells her that to save Kouya... she'll have to become ''Alice''. ''Kuro Bara Alice'' (''Black Rose Alice'' or ''Alice of the Black Roses'') is a [[Shoujo]] manga by [[Setona Mizushiro]], dealing with the supernatural and romance. It is licensed in French from Kaze, but not currently in English. {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes found in Kurobara Alice: ===~~ * [[Body Horror]]: ''These spiders'' * [[Break the Cutie]]: '''Agnieszka'''! {{spoiler\|So much that, right after vampire!Dimitri kills Theo and rapes her, she stabs herself to death.}} ** Dimitri himself, as his vampirism kicks in. {{spoiler\|Which is what kicks the [[Rape Asas Drama]] incident, in an attempt to kill himself.}} * [[Brown Note]]: Dimitri, after he gets vampirised. {{spoiler\|That's what actually killed his audience. [[Driven to Suicide\|Sor]][[Psychic -Assisted Suicide\|ta.]].}} * [[Christmas Cake]]: Azusa, according to Kouya's friends. * [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]: To save Kouya, Azusa {{spoiler\|sells her soul to Dimitri and Co. Said soul is placed inside Agnieszka's preserved body, and she becomes "Alice".}} * [[Death Byby Sex]]: A male vampire is supposed to die once he finishes breeding. {{spoiler\|Dimitri tries to prove it via raping Agnieszka. It backfires ''horribly''.}} * [[Driven to Suicide]]: Horribly played with. {{spoiler\|With his compelling voice, Dimitri [[Psychic -Assisted Suicide\|can drive people to kill themselves for him.]] He does it by accident at first, then deliberately to Theo.}} ** {{spoiler\|Also Agnieszka. It's botched, sort-of.}} * [[Elegant Classical Musician]]: Dimitri is an opera singer and very [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]. Azusa and Agnieszka are talented pianists. Line 34 ⟶ 33: * [[Love Triangle]]: Dimitri likes Agnieszka. Agnieszka likes him back. Dimitri's friend Theo is Agnieszka's arranged fiancé. [[It Gets Worse]]. * [[Meaningful Rename]]: From Azusa, to Alice * [[The Mind Is a Plaything of ~~The~~the Body]]: Once you become a vampire, you retain your old memories - but your mindset starts changing. {{spoiler\|In Dimitri's case, he becomes less emotional and more regal as the "heir" of the deceased vampire leader, Lord Bradley.}} * [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]]: {{spoiler\|Dimitri gets PISSED when Theo tells him that he had sex with Agnieszka (who was a virgin according to him), and even more so when he thinks he's doing so in a dismissive tone. The fatal accident happens right afterwards. Then, when Agnieszka visits him in the hospital, Dimitri mentally kicks himself for having thought this way.}} * [[The Ojou]]: Agnieszka is a [[Spoiled Sweet]] type. * [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: No vampire here dies with garlic, acks of a reflection, hates crosses, etc. The main differences are the spiders they use to possess people, and how they sleep in the day and roam through in the night (though they ''can'' get out under daylight, they just don't like it). Lampshaded at the beginning, when the recently turned Dimitri recites all of the vampire traits while in denial and Maximilian sarcastically rebukes him by saying "we're not ''that'' uncultured." ** In fact, the concept of vampires in this manga can be compared to the [[Chinese Vampire]] archetype, rather than the Western one. * [[Psychic -Assisted Suicide]]: {{spoiler\|Dimitri can use his powers to cause this.}} * [[Precocious Crush]]: Agnieszka started crushing on Dimitri when she was at most 8 years old and he was a teenager. * {{spoiler\|[[Rape Asas Drama]]: Dimitri rapes Agnieszka, and then she kills herself.}} * [[Refusal of the Call]]: Dimitri adamantly refuses to believe that he's been vampirised at the beginning. Little did he know... * [[Romani]]: {{spoiler\|Dimitri's mother was a German one (Meanwhile, she says that Dimitri's dad was a Polish nobleman she met in her travels). She raised him with her group until he was discovered by Theo's dad in Hungary and taken in as a [[Scholarship Student]] due to his gorgeous singing voice.}} Line 57 ⟶ 56: [[Category:Shoujo Demographic]] [[Category:Kurobara Alice]] [[Category:~~Trope~~Manga]]
