Line 1: {{work}} '''[[Shadow Lady']]'' (1995-1996) was a manga written and illustrated by [[Masakazu Katsura]], originally published in Weekly Shonen Jump and later by [[Dark Horse Comics]] in three English collections (''Dangerous Love'', ''The Awakening'', and ''Sudden Death'').▼ ~~<!-- %% The original article was written without direct access to volume one and may be incomplete at this stage. -->~~ ▲'''Shadow Lady''' (1995-1996) was a manga written and illustrated by [[Masakazu Katsura]], originally published in Weekly Shonen Jump and later by [[Dark Horse Comics]] in three English collections (''Dangerous Love'', ''The Awakening'', and ''Sudden Death''). Shy waitress Aimi Komori crosses paths with De-Mo, a resident of the Demon World who forcefully introduces her to the magic eye shadow that transforms her into Shadow Lady. Shadow Lady takes Gray City by storm as a [[Classy Cat Burglar]] and becomes the focus of a police task force led by Bright Honda. Shadow Lady makes fools of the police, earns a mysterious rival, and finds a friend in Lime Hosokawa. She discovers that there's more to De-Mo than first appeared when the Demon Police Trio coerce Shadow Lady into recovering stolen demon world artifacts on the threat of killing her and De-Mo. Line 9 ⟶ 7: ------------ {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''Shadow Lady'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: the magic eye shadow gives Aimi increased strength, speed, and agility when she applies the Midnight Basic shade. When she applies an Expert Change color, she gains catlike claws that allow her to climb walls and shred clothes (Crimson Cat), [[Super Speed]] and [[In a Single Bound\|jumping]] (Saffron Bunny), or wings for flight (Sapphire Bird). * [[And the Adventure Continues...]]: due to the aforementioned cancellation, the series ends with the Gray City police getting a call that Shadow Lady (believed to have disappeared after the finale) has been sighted. * [[Anime Hair]]: Shadow Lady, Bright, Inspector Dory, Medu, and his Demon Stone owner's [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]. * [[Anti-Hero]]: Shadow Lady is either Type II or III. Line 22 ⟶ 19: * [[Comes Great Insanity]]: the influence of the Demon Stones turns humans into deranged [[Super-Powered Evil Side\|superpowered monsters]]. We see that at least two people were able to remain outwardly unchanged. * [[Cop Boyfriend]]: Lime thinks Bright is hers. * [[Defeat Byby Modesty]]: Shadow Lady shreds Spark Girl's outfit to end their fight in "Lady vs. Girl." * [[Exposition Beam]]: Medu gives one to Aimi to tell her how to defeat Zera. * [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Bright and Spark Girl. Line 30 ⟶ 27: * [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: The serial kidnapper. * [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: De-Mo's motivation for leaving the demon world. * [[I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure]]: the Demon Police Trio agree to allow Shadow Lady to collect the Demon Stones on the condition that if she fails, De-Mo [[Killed to Uphold ~~The~~the Masquerade\|will die (and she will, too)]]. * [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler\|Klein Hanayama}} shatters a partially-petrified girl just to demonstrate his power. She's presumably restored just like the other petrified girls. * [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: the Demon Police Trio apply it to Medu's Demon Stone owner's victims and threaten Aimi with this for being in contact with the demon world. Line 38 ⟶ 35: * [[Loves My Alter Ego]]: ... while Bright loves Shadow Lady. * [[Mentor Mascot]]: De-Mo looks like a plush toy (and actually is one brought to life in "Another World") who can assume the form of a little boy to pass himself off as Aimi's little brother. * [[Mini -Dress of Power]]: Shadow Lady's Midnight Basic form comes with one. * [[Noble Demon]]: Medu decides that the human world isn't ready for annihilation and fights Zera's attempt to destroy it. * [[Not What It Looks Like]]: at the end of "Hope," {{spoiler\|Shadow Lady is standing over Klein Hanayama's dead body when Bright walks in}}. Since she's restricted from [[Locked Out of the Loop\|explaining why it happened]], she can only flee, further incriminating herself. * [[Plot Coupon That Does Something]]: the Demon Stones [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can\|seal renegade arch-demons]]; anyone who possesses one can use a fraction of the imprisoned arch-demon's power; while they remain in the human world, their seals weaken and will eventually fail, releasing their prisoners. * [[The Rival]]: Spark Girl to Shadow Lady. * [[Panty Shot]]: Many. One specific example: Shadow Lady falls crotch-first onto a news camera in "Lady vs. Girl." "Looks like we're getting some real '''in-depth''' coverage here!" * [[Sexier Alter Ego]]: Shadow Lady is Aimi's. * [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: Katsura had only recently started the Demon Stones arc when his series was cancelled, so he had to abruptly wrap up the story, skipping the recovery of two Demon Stones and cutting another down to a couple of pages. * [[Sinister Minister]]: The bishop of Gray City Cathedral is outwardly pious, but he {{spoiler\|owns a Demon Stone}}. * [[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist]]: Bright plays it straight. He's a skilled detective and a wizard with gadgets, but Shadow Lady has supernatural powers on her side.
