Line 6:
'''''Corsair''''' started as a light novel series, which expanded into several audio dramas and a three volume manga, written by Minami Fuuko and illustrated by Misono Erii. The story follows two members of the [[Pirate]] clan, Preveza, at a time when its former allies have severed all ties. Ayace "[[Red Baron|The Devil Killer]]" Malik, is the commander of the armada, and one of the main reasons Preveza continues to control the Morea Sea after the loss of their former leader. Canale, the blind chief strategist, was taken in by the former leader like Ayace, but conceals a much more sinister past.
After an unusual encounter during a hostage exchange with the governor-general of Korladan, Ayace follows Canale out of suspicion. Canale, who is trying to run away, is attacked, [[Love Potion|drugged]] and [[Rape
Afterwards Canale reveals that he is a former Sharq assassin and escaped to Preveza after having [[Kill the Ones You Love|killed the man he loved]], Sesaam Zaiyaun, the attorney-general of Pisare. Fearing his past has finally caught up to him, he requests that Ayace either let him leave or kill him before he brings danger to Preveza. Ayace refuses and [[Take a Third Option|knocks him out and brings him back to the ship]].
Line 29:
* [[Death Seeker]]: After being saved from his Sharq master by Ayace, Canale begs him to kill him and Ayace refuses. Later he promises he will and it helps cement their relationship. {{spoiler|By the end, Ayace asks him to stop being a [[Death Seeker]], reassuring Canale that if he brings destruction on the people he loves Ayace ''will'' kill him as he promised, so until then he should try living.}}
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Aura's kidnapping is the drive behind most of volume 2 and 3, however, being a [[Plucky Girl]] she doesn't act too distressed about it or her impending execution, {{spoiler|and when Ayace finally shows up to rescue her, her reaction is pretty much: "You're late!"}}
* [[Duel to
* [[Flat What]]: Aura uses this following Ayace's answer as to why she cannot marry Canale.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Korladan is vaguely French (and the ruling family is named d'Aubigne). Preveza also looks European and Pisare has Arabic flavour.
Line 52:
* [[Romantic Runner-Up]]: Aura, who is ''much'' nicer than Ayace. Though Canale really respects and cares for her he does not want to pursue a relationship for reasons even other than the [[Uke|obvious]]. In comparison, Sesaam doesn't fit this trope because despite being less rough-around-the-edges than Ayace, he's rather insidious at times and not necessarily a "nice guy".
* [[Scylla and Charybdis]]: Canale had the option of either killing Sesaam or revealing that he is an assassin, knowing the Sharq would just come after Sesaam again anways and succeed sooner or later. He decides to kill Sesaam and die with him (though this doesn't work out as planned).
* [[Sealed
* [[Secret Underground Passage]]: There's one beneath Sesaam's bed that allows Canale to escape after murdering him and another {{spoiler|in one of the rooms of the D'Aubigne mansion, which Canale discovered when he still had his eyesight and uses to rescue Aura.}}
* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]: {{spoiler|Canale delivers an angry speech over how the prophecy about him being the "devil's child" who will wreak "destruction on towns and cities" was rubbish and how his family's reaction to it led to him becoming such a destructive force in the first place.}}
Line 67:
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Aura to Canale. From {{spoiler|Jean-Hughes point of view he is this to Katarina, who liked Canale too. And more [[Sibling Incest|creepily himself to Canale]].}}
* [[The Vamp]]: Several people treat Canale as one, mostly to [[Boomerang Bigot|defer]] their guilty feelings of desire for him. [[The Woobie|Poor guy]]. Surprisingly, ''Ayace'' is the one who has the grace to point out that if he is seduced then he is a fool who cannot control himself.
* [[Victim Falls For Rapist]]: [[Zig
* [[Wrong Name Outburst]]: Canale does this twice with the people in question in reverse. Amusingly he's more upset about it than either Ayace (in chapter 4) or Sesaam (in chapter 11) are.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: Canale finally feels like he has a place in Preveza and thinks that Ayace might actually love him and that they can be happy together. As soon as Ayace suspects he is going back to Sesaam, he becomes [[Crazy Jealous Guy|enraged]] and rapes Canale, making him feel utterly betrayed.
