Formerly licensed in English by Tokyopop, currently slated for a re-release and continuation by Viz.
 
Is in no way related towards [[Super Robot Wars|Lamia]] [[Name's the Same|Loveless]] (this is not an anime of her descendants), nor the [[Shounen]] anime [[NeedlessNEEDLESS]], nor the play set in [[Final Fantasy VII]]. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|And no, it's not devoid of LOVE]]. Also has nothing to do with the iconic ''Loveless'', of [[My Bloody Valentine (Musicband)|My Bloody Valentine]] fame. It also has nothing to do with a certain [[wikipedia:Patty Loveless|country music singer]].
 
----
Line 31:
* [[Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend]]: Possibly Ritsu, but if he is, he has much more depth than the typical example.
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: {{spoiler|The Kaidou family.}} Also, the Aoyagi family.
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: While the Zeroes {{spoiler|can't feel pain}}, they can die just as easily as (if not more easily than) regular humans
* [[Blind Without'Em]]: Kio, going by Yurio's comments on the strength of his glasses.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Natsuo and Youji start out this way, but they mellow out once they {{spoiler|start living with Soubi}}. Not that the signs of it are ''completely'' gone.
Line 93:
* [[I Know Your True Name]]
* [[Ill Girl]]: Yayoi is a [[Rare Male Example]].
* [[In the Name of Thethe Moon]]: Each of the "pairs" has an [[Invocation]] they say before battle begins.
* [[Intimate Healing]]: Justified in that when Soubi kisses Ritsuka it strengthens the "bond" between them and makes the attacks stronger (and makes the [[Fan Girl|Fangirls]] [[Squee]]).
* [[Ironic Echo]]: When Soubi repeats [[Chekhov's Gun|the very words Ritsu once told him]] as a self-hypnosis to win in his fight against Natsuo and Youji.
Line 109:
*** Either that or there's some type of laser-guided mind-ray telling him to ignore the obvious.
* [[Magical Incantation]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in that the words are the spells used in battles.
* [[Magic Byby Any Other Name]]: The spells used in battles. They can be creative, they can be simple, they can be dull... and they can do and/or create ''anything''. You name it, the spells do it.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Ritsu, Nisei, and also {{spoiler|Seimei, who despite all logic is still alive, even though they actually ''did'' [[Never Found the Body|find the body]] and even matched dental records. Who replaced him in that capacity is the subject of much fan debate and [[Epileptic Trees]].}}
** I'm sure {{spoiler|Semei}} will run into [[Chessmaster]] territory at some point.
Line 139:
* [[Psychologist Teacher]]: Or rather, ''would be'' [[Psychologist Teacher]], as Ritsuka's good-hearted yet unfortunate teacher Hitomi never really manages to solve anything and has almost debilitating shyness when it comes to confronting problems.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Nisei. He takes delight in both stalking and torturing {{spoiler|Soubi and Ritsuka}}, but refers to Soubi as 'mad' and 'creepy', and refers to himself as a pacifist. He's [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?|a stranger to the concept of love]], but he also has no intention of ever finding out, even going so far as to call it sickening. Of course, the fans [[Draco in Leather Pants|will have none of this]].
* [[Rape Asas Backstory]]: Both {{spoiler|Mikado}} and {{spoiler|Soubi}}.
* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: {{spoiler|Youji}}, for Nagisa, since apparently {{spoiler|Youji was created from some of Nagisa's deceased sister's genes.}}
** Also the main use of Blank Fighters. Oh, yours died? Well, here's a new one.
Line 150:
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: And here we have... [[Crapsack World|cynicism.]]
* [[Split Personality]]: Ritsuka is heavily implied to have two personalities, {{spoiler|one he was until three years before the series begins, and the personality he has now.}}
* [[Sex Asas Rite-Of-Passage]]: Subverted, turned inside out, and arguably played straight. Particularly twisted when it comes to Soubi {{spoiler|who lost his cat ears as a result of sexual abuse at the hands of his teacher Ritsu}}.
* [[Social Services Does Not Exist]]: Why nobody does anything about Ritsuka's abuse at the hands of his mother.
** And yet, Ritsuka has a therapist. And his teacher is constantly worrying about his home life.
