Line 2:
As soon as 16-year old country girl Emma arrives at the city of Hawk Eye, every man in the city falls madly in love with her. The king in particular tries to force her into marriage... and ''then'' a sorceror kidnaps her.
The sorcerer introduces himself as Shion, one of the youngest and most talented in the nation. He explains to Emma that she is cursed with the Echidna, a mysterious magic that happens every 500 years where a girl is born with her heart packed with such powerful dark magic that it has the potential to destroy the world. With the Echidna, one could rule the world, and Shion explains that people are going to try and hunt her down to get her heart.
However, just when Emma has given up on living a normal life, she is told that there exists a ritual that might rid her of the Echidna curse: the ritual [[Title Drop|Magico]], which consists of many difficult trials... the first of which requires Emma and Shion to marry each other.
Line 12:
* [[Abusive Parents]]: {{spoiler|Shion. His mother couldn't accept her son wasn't "perfect" and forced him to go through a forbidden ritual designed to improve his abilities at the cost of the lives of ten children. And when that ritual failed and ended up doing the exact opposite, his mother [[Parental Abandonment|abandoned]] him. She apparently made Faust go through it, and it turned him into a monster.}}
* [[The Ace]]: Raven, headmaster of a magical school, brilliant scholar, powerful mage, kind hearted, and in love with Emma just from reading about her and what she had to endure.
* [[A Magic Contract Comes with a Kiss]]: One of the rituals for Magico requires that the married couple kiss each other.
** In all fairness, it ''is'' a wedding ritual.
** There are many rituals that use kissing in the series. Rosetta is said to be the master of these techniques.
* [[An Ice Person]]: One of the Magi uses ice magic, {{spoiler|but he can freeze a lot more than just water. Like your senses. [[Time Stands Still|Or time]].}}
* [[The Atoner]]: Shion {{spoiler|for the sacrificed lives of ten innocent children used to increase his power by order of his mother.}}
Line 40:
* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: Emma, Shion's the only one who can stand her cooking, ''herself included''.
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: Ain.
* [[Determinator]]: Shion gets to show it off the most, but a lot of the named characters in the cast qualify.
* [[Dual Age Modes]]: CINDERELLA FEVER!
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: [http://img.batoto.com/comics/2011/11/02/m/read4eb1c42ca3254/Magico_33_MRI_Magico_33_04_MRI.png The true form of Echidna when ][http://img.batoto.com/comics/2011/11/02/m/read4eb1c42ca3254/Magico_33_MRI_Magico_33_05_MRI.png released from the woman host.]
Line 60:
** Grandpa Garlan is one of the rare bug-men, specifically being half-giant-centipede. He's also the guy who generates the bug monsters for Shion's Broom Magic Ritual.
** {{spoiler|Shion's family tries a ritual to turn Shion into a half demon but it fails and he became a "Degraded Human".}}
* [[Handicapped Badass]]:
** {{spoiler|In chapter 18, Luu's sight, hearing, smell, and sense of pain are sealed by [[Ax Crazy|an evil Magi]]. She still wins by relying on her survival instinct and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|leads to great upset.]]}}
** {{spoiler|Shion too. The failed ritual he endured as a child turned him into a "degraded" human, leaving him with reduced intelligence and a far weaker body. He still managed to become an Archmage through ''sheer willpower''.}}
Line 75:
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Emma has no qualms about stripping in front of Shion, [[Please Put Some Clothes On|much to his distress.]]
** Justified in that they're married and Emma feels it's only natural for married couples to be comfortable with each others bodies.
*** Double justified since she was jailed for ''16 years'' without interaction with other people except for the soldier guarding her and Shino.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: Shion ''lives'' in one.
* [[It's Personal]]: {{spoiler|Threatening to kill Emma is something both Shion and Luu take very personally.}}
Line 88:
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: The Holy Spring Luna will heal a lot of things, but [[I'm Having Soul Pains|it also hurts a lot]].
** And in chapter 14 {{spoiler|the kidnapper turns out to be the priest.}}
* [[Lonely
* [[MacGuffin Girl]]: Emma, but technically it's her heart that's the [[MacGuffin]].
* [[Mad Love]]: This is the shape of Ain's feelings for Faust.
Line 111:
** One of the contestants in the Love Festival can use one.
* [[Powered by a Forsaken Child]]:
** Many of the plans for the power of Echidna within Emma seem to imply this.
** Then there's {{spoiler|Shion's family sacrificing ten innocent children in hopes of turning Shion into an Archmage.}}
** And there's Faust's plan {{spoiler|to use Shion to fulfill his dark magic ritual.}}
Line 122:
* [[Rich Bitch|Rich Bastard]]: Marouni Gate, the richest man in the world. He actually acknowledges it while [[Kick the Dog|stomping on the head of a child slave (who happened to be half-transformed into a dog at the time)]], saying that while he thought he should be appalled he can't help but [[Evil Feels Good|enjoy being one]].
* [[Ritual Magic]]: Actually, as it was said above, rituals are ways to achieve magic.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: This series practically thrives off this. To serve as an example, within the first few pages we have [[And Now You Must Marry Me|our heroine being forced into marrying the local king]] [[Big Damn Heroes|only to be saved]] by a [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons|dragon]] wearing [[Cool Shades|shades]] that [[Wedding Smashers|interrupts the ceremony.]]
* [[The Man Behind the Man|The Sages Behind the Thrones]]: There exists Sephirot, a group of Sages whose power runs above the rulers of any country, and monitor all mages in the world. They are strong enough to {{spoiler|have the memories of three thousand spectators at the Lover's tournament erased to preserve the secret Echidna has returned, bribe the man running the tournament to continue like nothing had happened}}.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Averted, Shion and Emma are pretty okay about saying they are husband and wife to people.
