Line 68:
* ''[[Soul Eater Not!]]'', for more or less the same reason ''[[Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force]]'' failed. It's an [[Slice of Life]] spin-off to ''[[Soul Eater]]'', which was a supernatural comedy-action series. It was unappealing to long-time ''Soul Eater'' fans for both its themes and being starred by new characters with little to no connection to established characters, but fans of the Slice of Life genre weren't interested in such a spin-off of an action shounen.
* ''[[The Familiar of Zero]]'' actually ''evolved'' into this trope, due to the [[Flanderization]] of its main characters from "[[Ordinary High School Student]] [[Trapped in Another World]]" and "[[Tsundere]]-ish [[Cute Witch]]" into "[[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|Perverted Jerkass]]" and "[[Bastard Girlfriend|Psychopathic Sadistic Tsundere]]" respectively.
* [[Mayu Shinjo]]'s works tends to be like this, due to her penchant to use a great amount of sex scenes and [[Bastard Boyfriend]]s galore in her plots.
* ''[[Ai Ore!]]'' is an absolutely typical [[Mayu Shinjo]] Shoujo story with maybe less [[Bastard Boyfriend]] than usual... with the premise that a [[Bifauxnen]] girl gets a boyfriend that looks like the stereotypical [[Uke]] and has the personality of the stereotypical [[Seme]]. It visually looks like a [[Yaoi]] manga when it is not, which can confuse and alienate fans of the [[Boys Love Genre]] (other fans can be alienated by the common tropes of Mayu Shinjo's works).▼
** ''[[Haou Airen]]'' is the story of a [[Destructive Romance]] between a Japanese High School girl and the young mafia lord that kidnaps and makes her his "bride" as a thanks for curing him, a situation that makes her a target for kidnapping, rape, and sexual slavery among other violent circumstances, in a plot that is also full of blood and violence {{Spoiler|and it ends in a [[Bittersweet Ending]] where the male lead died after finally redeemed himself, to boot}}. It's also a smutty Shoujo romance published in a magazine targeted to girls age 11-17.

* ''[[Tokyo Akazukin]]'', an extremely dark, gore-filled manga whose premise is that a young girl that self identifies as [[Little Red Riding Hood]] goes finding her true love Mr. Wolf by partaking in sexual acts with numerous pedophiles and then gruesomely killing them when they fail to devour her. The amount of [[Lolicon]] is such that it simply can't be licensed anywhere outside Japan.
