Sanctuary (manga): Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Akira Hojo is a charming, dashing, and ruthless thirty-something leader of a small Yakuza society with his eyes on the top and the ambition and skill to climb the ladder as quickly as he can. Chiaki Asami is the trusted advisor of a member of the Japanese Diet who takes advantage of opportunity to steal his superior's seat and use it to launch a campaign to reform Japanese politics. Little do most know that the Asami's opportunity was arranged by the actions of Hojo.

* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]

* [[Tear Jerker]] {{spoiler|Asami's death}}

* [[Ubermensch]]: Hojo and Asami -- the plot can be described as the duo's plot to take a Japan filled with Last Men of various kinds and remake it in their image. They inspire many of their [[True Companions]] during the story, and even Isaoka seems to approach the Ubermensch while creating and defending the status quo.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Tokai has this [[Black Comedy Rape|eccentric little habit]] of raping women who get too close (and at one point tries to rape Kyoko). This is almost always treated as [[Fan Service]].
