'''''Shina Dark: Kuroki Tsuki no Ō to Sōheki no Himegimi''''' (シャイナ・ダルク 〜黒き月の王と蒼碧の月の姫君〜, Shaina Daruku, literally "Shina Dark ~King of Dark Moon and Blue Moon's Princess~") is a manga written by Bunjūrō Nakayama and drawn by Yukari Higa. It ran from 2006 to 2009.
Welcome to the cursed island of Shina Dark. This island is called home by the dark lord Exoda C. Claw aka [[Satan]]. He's as powerful a being as you could ever hope to meet. Feared and hated the world over for the infinite amount of atrocities he's committed. He's.....actually a really nice guy who just wants to chill out around the castle and relax... After a month long nap he awakens to find that the rest of the world has made up another ridiculous rumor and blown it way out of proportion and that has caused his little island to be crowded with a thousand beautiful women meant to be his mistresses/sacrifices. Worse yet is that since they have set foot on his island they are all believed to be cursed and are now shunned by their homelands. What's a couch potato Satan to do with 1000 women who won't / can't leave? Who can say?
Line 7 ⟶ 8:
As the story progresses, Exoda attempts to do a little nation building in an attempt to get the women on the island interested a little more in their own lives and less depressed. Among the women sent to his island there is a princess from each of the two major empires surrounding his island. Not wanting anything to do with ruling a kingdom himself, he sets up the two princesses as the head of the new country. He then works, primarily, in the background to support the fledgling country through some of the problems it faces both from without and from within.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Above the Influence]]: One thousand young women are dropped on Exoda's door step with every expectation of being [[Squick|used, abused and exploited]] as his slaves. Exoda's first response is to send them all home. When it becomes clear that's not an option, he accepts responsibility for their suffering and founds a representative government to secure their rights and freedoms.
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Satan is believed to be such a pervert that it is hard for him to not be mistaken for one.
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: Considering most of his island's population is women, due to the below-mentioned [[Malicious Slander]], and Galett training many of the women to be guards to better defend their new home from any one who threatens it, Exoda has a fairly large one and it is growing.
* [[Angry Guard Dog|Angry Guard Dragon]]: The dragon guarding the lowest part of the vault is this only when someone not authorized comes in ... or when the contract ends and no one bought the extension or life-time policy.
* [[Anti
* [[Arc Break]]: At the time of this writing, the manga has stalled because its host magazine stopped publication.
** A eight-minute AMV has been released, so there is potential that this will become an Anime sometime in the next year or two.
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
* [[Crazy Cultural Comparison]]: People from the East and the West living in Shina Dark get into little fights over their [[Culture Clash]] frequently. (Forks v. chopsticks, etc.)
* [[Creepy Doll]]: {{spoiler|Seru}}
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Satan seems like a lazy bum who likes nothing more than relaxing and tries to avoid doing anything that even resembles hard work (running the country he created in what can only be described as his backyard). And he really is like that. But if someone actually forces him into doing something, they will quickly be reminded '''why''' the whole world pisses its pants before him.
* [[Dance Battler]]: {{spoiler|Rosa.}}
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Exoda.
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: The Second Prince of Estgloria remembers his father's love for the people, is disgusted at the Queen's excesses, and cares deeply for Christina.
* [[Determinator]]: Deconstructed and reconstructed with Galett. She's a strong and charismatic leader, but her [[Heroic Willpower]] is [[Crapsack World|the result of a life]] where she had the choice of becoming strong or [[Break the Cutie|lying down in a gutter to die]].
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: Seriously, he's an Immortal Demon King who could have killed the women and ravished the world if he wanted to. Instead he treats them with kindness and even creates a country for them. You think they would like build a shrine for him or something? Hell no!
** He probably wouldn't want something like that anyway.
* [[Ecchi]]: Lots of bath house shots of two main busty female protagonists.
** And the [[Meido|maid]]. And even the [[Token
* [[The Empire]]: The Vansable Empire is conquering the world with extremely advanced technology.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Satan actually has a LOT of standards, but he is downright pissed when he finds out he's expected to sleep with Maple, who is under 10 years old. He seems displeased about whats in the book about him as well, given that from the sounds of it, most of it may very well just be pure fiction.
* [[
* [[Expy]]: Noel is very similar to Mahoro from ''[[Mahoromatic]]''. Just substitute the two locks of hair growing out of the sides of Mahoro's head for [[Unusual Ears|elf-like ears of about the same length]].
** [[Lampshaded]] in chapter 20, complete with [[Shout
* [[Finger
* [[Furo Scene]]: Nearly 1/2 of all chapters involve the one or both of the two main girls bathing in the castle's gigantic bathroom. Since it was originally Satan's personal bathroom, he gets caught there a lot.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Christina is ''terrible'' at everything she tries {{spoiler|-- except strategy, where she's unbeatable.}}
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: The Queen of Estgloria, Christina's home country.
* [[Heroic Self
* [[Highly
* [[Hit Points]]: Matilda has an eyepatch that can see them, but Galett seems aware of her own.
* [[Ill Girl]]: Christina. {{spoiler|4 years of being forcefed poison can do that to a person.}}
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
* [[Mistaken for Servant]]: When Exoda is in his casual fishing clothes, it is hard to tell he is the "Satan". When one boy came to the island to kill him, Exoda was able to stay quiet and let the boy think Vincent is "Satan" as he ran off.
* [[Modest Royalty]]: Discussed by the Layla sisters when Noel and company sell a valuable magical artifact to buy food for the inhabitants of Shina Dark, and then the Queen of Estgloria purchases it when her citizens are starving.
** That's partially because what is a priceless artifact for the rest of the world is just another old piece of junk for Exoda, who acquired more treasures and magical items than he cares to list (including a [[Humongous Mecha]] and a sword that was [[Cursed
* [[Mundane Utility]]: During the [[Beach Episode]], one mage uses an ice spell to make ice for crushed ice treats.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: Octovia. You can't have a fantasy ecchi series without at least one tentacle monster.
Line 79 ⟶ 80:
* [[Robot Girl]]: Noel is one, making her even more similar to Mahoro.
* [[RPG Mechanics Verse]]: Characters occasionally make reference to hit points and the like.
* [[Schizo
** And then there's the modern respirator that appears when Christina gets sick.
* [[Sealed Evil in
** Seems like powerful monsters start awakening worldwide whenever he does.
* [[Shout
** Probably unintentional, but...
{{quote|
"[[Dragonball Z|What!? 10,000!?]]" }}
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: Exoda tries to ensure that Galett and Christina, and by extension the rest of Shina Dark, can rule themselves without him. Of course, he's also pretty lazy.
** [[Stealth Mentor]]: ... He also makes a good job of no one (except Vincent) finding out about this.
* [[Stripperific]]: Galett and Christina had been sent to Shina Dark under the impression that they would be Exoda's concubines so they had planned their wardrobe accordingly.
* [[Super
* [[The Unfavorite]]:
** Christina thinks that she's this to the people of Shina Dark. {{spoiler|She's wrong.}}
Line 97 ⟶ 98:
** So it's [[Stealth Pun|an Unwanted Unwanted Harem?]]
** Also noteworthy for being an actual harem of old (namely a king/ruler/lord/husband/sheikh and several lovers), and truly unwanted because he isn't annoyed by advances or anything, but just doesn't want to cope with 1000 women as love interests.
* [[
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: Exoda enjoys spending his free time out fishing.
* [[What Do You Mean
** Noel and the Layla Sisters haggling
** Christina playing chess.
* [[Wicked Stepmother]]: The Queen of Estgloria, who {{spoiler|has Christina's mother assassinated, had Christina poisoned for four years, and}} sent her off to be Satan's consort.
* [[Yank the
