Line 11:
… along with a compilation of all five books in one, published in 1997.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Art Evolution]]: the art evolves slowly between issues 1 and 3, then becomes good in issue 4 and awesomely good in issue 5…
** … which unfortunately lead to a few characters [[The Other Darrin|not looking the same]] after book 4 begun. Rouche went from looking lean and bespectacled to looking like a muscle-bound (and glass-free) brute. Arthus went from scruffy-looking to regal-looking. Yz went from looking like a prepubescent kid to looking like a teen (mostly visible because she acquires breasts in addition to looking taller). Orane's originally small breasts became a lot more noticeable. Pierre went from light-brown-haired kid to black-haired teenager. Keep in mind, the timeframe of the whole story covers a few weeks at most.
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[Gambit Pileup]]: Everyone's trying to cross everyone else at one point…
* [[Groin Attack]]: Judith delivers a majestic, ''[[Share the Male Pain|really]]'' [[Share the Male Pain|painful-looking one]] on one of the armed goons Rouche left to guard her when she realizes that Rouche is comitting genocide against the Transparents.
* [[Half
* [[Human Popsicle|Half-human Popsicle]]: the Great Oak once integrated the hybrids into his own body to protect them from the hate that might corrupt them. A side effect is that they haven't aged a day during those long years. When the tree tries to do that again, Meth successfully excapes and eventually uses fire to free Yz from her wooden prison.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|the Great Oak immolates itself to give the Transparents a chance to escape genocide at the hands of the ferrets.}}
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
* [[Les Yay]]: Orane, wearing nothing but a shirt and some leggings, kneels in front of a naked Yz and tells Andréa and Elwood they need to win each other's love. The day they're able to hold each other, they'll be ready to go back to the World of the Oak.
* [[Like Reality Unless Noted]]: The parts of the story dealing with humans strongly indicate Southern France in the mid-twentieth century, with both the Ferret and Transparent communities doing their best to avoid being noticed by humanity at large.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: The ferrets, after realizing that their slaughtering of the Transparents to near-extinction [[Empathic Environment|has turned the whole land against them]].
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: the anthropomorphic ferrets. In the backstory, many of the animals were this at the beginning of the world.
* [[Poisonous Person]]: In book five, Theo reveals that the hybrids have accumulated so much hate, they could kill a Transparent just by touching them. {{spoiler|Moments later, he gets pounced by Meth, causing the both of them to disintegrate in a flash of light. Elwood then narrowly saves Orane from suffering the same fate at the hands of Yz.}}
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* [[Sacrificial Lion]]: {{spoiler|Ubu}} was integrated into the Great Oak to give it back the ability of speech. While the measure was supposed to be temporary, it becomes definitely permanent after the Great Oak's self-sacrifice.
* [[Speaking Simlish]]: Ubu. Only Pierre understands his speech, all the other characters only hear bubbles.
* [[Super Not
* [[Talking Animal]]: the Cafou is a big, sabertoothed, quadrupedal cat with an adorable lisp.
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: {{spoiler|Orane}}. To be fair, all of the Transparents have this ability.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|Théo}} has an impressive, violent one when his plans suddenly crumble around him. Aw man, Andréa [[No Holds Barred Beatdown|felt that one pass]].
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Many ferret children appear in the first three books. By book five, there's no trace of them anywhere. You'd think that all that was left of the ferrets was two women and a bunch of adult males.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Andréa punched Elwood in the face to obtain Orane's diary, then {{spoiler|sacrificed Ubu so the Great Oak could gain back its ability to speak.}}
* [[Women Are Wiser]]: The hate between the ferrets and the Transparents is turning the hybrid children into murderous monsters, but the transformation happens far more quickly in Meth (who shows signs of violence within minutes of being freed from the Oak) than in his sister (who doesn't become violent until {{spoiler|she sees him die}} three books later).
* [[Woman Scorned]]: Averted with Judith. When Elwood stops being interested in her due to his crush on Orane, she just shouts for a while, but remains an ally of the Transparents.
