The reserved, mysterious Kyoshiro, however, turns out to be more than Kuu bargained for. He seems very prince-like at first, but ends up coming on a little strong--rip off your shirt and stare at your chest kind of strong. To top off that inital strangeness, he is tied up in a massive battle between a race of female super-beings called Absolute Angels, who [[Intimate Healing|feed off of the life force of humans through kissing]]. Kyoshiro's partner and bodyguard, [[Ninja Maid|Setsuna]], is also an Absolute Angel. Kuu isn't sure whether Kyoshiro is really her prince or not, but after the ensuing destruction of her school by the Absolute Angels, she has no choice but to follow him and Setsuna into the unknown. |

When she was very young, Shiratori Kuu met a tall, handsome prince. Her only memory of him is the words "Let's go. Together." Years later, a mysterious transfer student - and the spitting image of her prince - shows up at her very own school.
The reserved, mysterious Kyoshiro, however, turns out to be more than Kuu bargained for. He seems very prince-like at first, but ends up coming on a little strong--rip off your shirt and stare at your chest kind of strong. To top off that inital strangeness, he is tied up in a massive battle between a race of female super-beings called Absolute Angels, who feed off of the life force of humans through kissing. Kyoshiro's partner and bodyguard, Setsuna, is also an Absolute Angel. Kuu isn't sure whether Kyoshiro is really her prince or not, but after the ensuing destruction of her school by the Absolute Angels, she has no choice but to follow him and Setsuna into the unknown.
Shattered Angels (京四郎と永遠の空, Kyōshirō to Towa no Sora, literally "Kyoshiro and the Eternal Sky") is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover of previous works by Kaishaku (original manga artist) and TNK (animation producer): Kannazuki no Miko, Steel Angel Kurumi, Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto, and UFO Princess Valkyrie, with those series' tendencies for elaborate character designs, Scenery Porn, and Magitek.
- Automaton Horses
- Author's Saving Throw: For those who watched Kannazuki no Miko and did not approve of the Rape Is Love plotline between Chikane and Himeko, both Kaon and Himiko were retooled to be tragic but unambiguously goodhearted despite their circumstances, and neither let the ensuing drama compromise their partnership.
- Back From the Dead: Kazuya, at least from everyone else's perspective. Turns out he was Not Quite Dead after all.
- Big Brother Complex: Kazuya and Kyoshiro
- Big Screwed-Up Family: The Ayanokouji family seems to get progressively bigger and more screwed up with each passing episode.
- Bodyguard Crush: Setsuna to Kyoshiro
- Catgirl: Tarlotte
- Combat Tentacles: Kazuya's favorite method of attack.
- Dojikko: Kuu
- Expy: Pretty much every character that isn't Kyoshiro, Kuu, or Setsuna is an expy of a Kannazuki no Miko character.
- Extreme Doormat: Setsuna
- Fan Service
- First Kiss: Kyoshiro gives Kuu hers at the end of the first episode.
- Furo Scene: Almost once every other episode, at that.
- Genki Girl: Kozue
- Girls Love
- Hey, It's That Voice!: Who the hell do you think Kyoshiro is!?
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Soujirou and Tarlotte
- I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me: Pretty much sums up Kuu's feelings for Kyoshiro.

- Intimate Healing: The definition of Mana.
- Instrument of Murder: The Mana Buster, which is basically a modified Cello designed to kill Absolute and Steel Angels.
- Love At First Sight
- Love Redeems: Kyoshiro
- Love Triangle: They're everywhere! The one that gets the most focus is Kuu-Kyoshiro-Setsuna, but there's also Himiko-Kaon-Mika and sort of Kyoshiro-Kuu-Kazuya. In the final episode, there's even a suggestion of a Jin-Himiko-Kaon triangle, which is not surprising considering that Jin is reminiscent of Soma from Kannazuki no Miko.
- Market-Based Title: The series is known as Shattered Angels in English-speaking countries.
- Mismatched Eyes: Mika has one purple and one red.
