[[File:snqpromo_9521.jpg|frame|This picture is probably the least offensive thing about the show.]]
The St. Mikhailov Academy student Oribe Mafuyu comes across a mysterious silver haired boy. His name is Sasha and he is a Qwaser, a being that draws power from Soma and is able to manipulate a specific element. And now, in the 21st century, the mystery revolving around an Icon turns the academy into the battlegrounds for the fight between the Qwaser!
'''''The Qwaser of Stigmata''''' (''Seikon no Qwaser'') is written by Yoshino Hiroyuki and drawn by Satou Kenetsu, the artist of the manga adaptations of ''[[Mai-HiME (
As you might guess, this story is definitely [[NSFW]]. On the other hand, if you're looking for a borderline-hentai manga with action, a plot, some chemistry and gratuitous Russian words mixed in, then ''Seikon no Qwaser'' may suit your taste.
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
The anime adaptation of this work premiered in January 2010, with a second season that started in April 2011. This time Sasha goes undercover in an all girls school to find a legendary maria. He does this by - you guessed it - sucking the breasts of his fellow schoolmates.
Character sheets can be found [[Seikon no Qwaser
The manga was picked up by Tokyopop
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Teresa, Katja, Lizzy and the majority of the female villains.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The anime went for a different aproach than the manga, it can be easily summarized with: the manga has action with [[Fan Service]] included, while the anime has [[Fan Service]] with action included. The change of focus is blatant in the [[Original Video Animation|OVAs]] and extra scenes from the [[Better
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Miyuri, though she's considerably more likable than most examples of the trope.
** [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: Skirts the line. Until season 2 when she completely embraces this trope.
* [[Anime Accent Absence]]: Both Sasha and Katja seem to speak fluent Japanese, every once in a while throwing in small fragments of ([[As Long
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: Sasha, Katja, almost every Qwaser has this attitude except for Lizzy.
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: Lactation (the production of breast milk) only occurs during the latter stages of pregnancy and for a time afterwards. Y'know, to feed a baby on. There are cases where lactation occurs in other circumstances, but natural cases are rare and drugs are required to stimulate breast milk production artificially. So it's clearly just [[Author Appeal]].
** [
* [[Author Appeal]]: The only explanation for what lengths this work goes to glorify breast-feeding. Add shimmering lights, spinning action, slow-motion close-ups and a Good versus Evil battle...
** And the S&M, and the Russian Orthodoxy... also interesting in that the ones that seem to get off during the breast-feeding sessions are the ones being sucked, not the perpetrators.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Katja, and to a lesser extent Sasha.
* [[Badass Creed]]: All of Sasha´s prayers. But in chapter 15 it reaches the level of [[Fate/stay
* [[Badass Normal]]: Teresa [[Waif Fu|holds herself pretty well in combat]] despite not having any supernatural powers herself.
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Averted. Breasts are detailed and even panty shots are quite detailed, bordering on explicit.
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Played with in episode 23 when the qwaser of gold performs a Bare ''Breast'' Blade Block.
* [[BFS]]: Elizabeth's sword, which she refers to as Excalibur.
* [[Bishonen]]: Father Yuri.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Katja lays this on thick with Miyuri, who swallows it whole. Ironically when Miyuri tries it on Sasha, he sees through it and cuts her off immediately.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: The second season doesn't treat all of Sasha's numerous sexual assaults on the other students very seriously.
* [[
* [[Bowdlerise]]: Nearly any scene that might possibly contain serious action in the broadcast version of the anime is either cut, shortened, zoomed in on the character's face or replaced with an image of background scenery. This can make it appear as though the characters are ''really angry'' at that damned night sky. (Worth noting, however, that not only will the DVD releases be uncensored, the distribution company is ''already'' releasing the uncensored versions as webcasts.)
** In the second season, they primarily use the [[Lens Flare Censor]].
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: Just when you think Mutsumi is a (relatively) well-adjusted individual compared to her partner, she knocks Mafuyu unconscious in one scene and then tries to rape her when she wakes up.
** Even after this event, she continues to make passes at Mafuyu every so often.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Uradas lecture about bra cup sizes in episode 10.5 is wrong.
* [[Distracted
* [[Dojikko]]: Tomo can't run without falling down. Must be hard keeping your balance with such huge breasts.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female
** Also in episode 13 of the anime, where the school nurse spends a lot of time trying to rip Sasha's towel off just to see him naked while he has amnesia and confusion about his true gender after the events of the previous episode.
* [[Drunk
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Played in an unusual way. When we say that each Qwaser controls one element, we are not talking about fire, water, earth and air, but in fact about the chemical elements of the periodic table: Iron, Chlorine, Copper, etc...
** Apparently, Hiroyuki ''also'' [[Order of the Stick|got passing grades in chem]].
* [[Fan Service]]: The article at the Wikipedia and at [[Anime News Network]] tell you the story "makes heavy use of Fanservice," a polite euphemism for saying "It´s borderline hentai!"
* [[Face Heel Revolving Door]]: Katja switches back and forth between antagonist and [[Anti
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Subverted. Hana's being blackmailed but it doesn't change the fact that she gets captured so easily.
** She's still shown to be reasonably tough and independent when she's on her own. Two factors keep her from really being an action girl: she has no powers, meaning most Qwasers can do whatever they want with her. And second... speaking frankly, Hana's a pedophile. Katja is basically the walking incarnation of all her most twisted fetishes, and whatever Hana might say to the contrary she ''likes'' being dominated by her.
* [[Fille Fatale]]: ''Katja''. Holy ''crap'', Katja.
* [[Full
* [[Fully
* [[Functional Magic]]: Alchemy, couched in the language of actual chemistry.
* [[Gainaxing]]: Less than five minutes into the first episode, and Tomo's huge breasts are already boucing a lot.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Hana, of all people, does that to Katja and it actualy worked
* [[Girl
** And in season II there Katja and Ayame.
** Just Katja AND <insert Girl>.
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]: Hana has both appear. They even get into a [[Big Ball of Violence]] around her head, which doesn't say much for Hana's thought process.
* [[Gratuitous Russian]]: Sasha often comments in Russian, but tons of mistakes make it very funny to read for Russian speakers.
** The male lead's Russian surname (Her) roughly translates to "Dick" in English. Considering Sasha's [[Jerkass|usual demeanor]], perhaps that was intentional.
** In the anime his surname [[Spell My Name
** Also the German of Eva {{spoiler|[[Those Wacky Nazis|Anna Paula Braun]]}} Silver, but it is not used as frequently.
* [[Handsome Lech]]: Tasuku in the manga, though he does have a couple [[Moral Event Horizon|Rape The Dog]] moments.
** In fairness, one of those was a tongue-in-cheek moment that earned him an [[Armor
* [[Happiness in Slavery]]: Hana. While first being reluctant to becoming Katjas BDSM slave she quickly accepts and embraces her position and becomes fanatically loyal to her.
** Ayame as well
** Katja has the ability to invoke this in others. Most of the girls were pretty normal before Katja got her hands on them.
* [[Hey,
** [[Minori Chihara]] is Teresa Beria.
** [[Yuko Sanpei]] is [[Cross Dressing Voice|Sasha.]]
Line 98 ⟶ 97:
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Tomo does not seem to know any shame.
** {{spoiler|This frustrates Joshua to no end when he tries to humiliate her by stripping her naked.}}
** {{spoiler|Also reading stories to the [[Chickification|chickificated]] Sasha '''using her boobs as sock puppets''' does not seem one bit weird to her}}
* [[Japanese Christian]]: The St. Mikhailov Academy is a Christian school with Eastern Orthodox followers. There are also references aplenty to the Eastern Cross and the Theotokos (Greek title for Mary).
* [[Jerk
** Miyuri as well, as demonstrated in episode 6.
** Hana too. Seeing her and Mafuyu standing next to each other and talking friendly is almost ironic considering the beginning.
* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: Despite all the Qwasers and near-death experiences that Tomo and Mafuyu deal with throughout the series, the daughter of the Dean of the academy and her right-hand woman (Miyuri and Hana, respectively) still bully them whenever they can. Even their [[Class Representative|Class President]] was revealed to be a victim of similar abuse.
* [[Lawyer
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Katja. Seriously, just look at her.
* [[Lolicon]]: Hana. Katja's intro chapter makes this abundantly clear.
Line 114 ⟶ 113:
* [[Marionette Master]]: Katja carries a coffin with a large copper puppet inside, which she calls either "Anastasia" or "Mother."
* [[Meido]]: There's an episode in which Mafuyu, Tomo, and ''Sasha'' dress up for Miyuri.
* [[The Messiah]]: Tomo, the kids at her school treat her like crap, she still has a chipper disposition. In a subversion, even after people stop picking on her and Mayufu, she still doesn't seem to be too terribly popular.
* [[Mind Rape]]: In Episode 21 {{spoiler|Mafuyu gets mind ''[[Naughty Tentacles|tentacle]]''-raped}}
* [[More Than Mind Control]]: Katja immediately reads Hana's weakness and takes aim, in moments bringing her under her domination, where Hana is now happy to remain.
Line 121 ⟶ 120:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Tomo, beyond all doubt.
** The burden of that role is being spread out among every character with breasts. In fact, busts seem to be expanding to fill her cup size, give or take a token [[Pettanko]].
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: {{spoiler|Lizzy to Ootori when the latter decided to fake betrayal in order to route}}{{verify|reason='Route' means 'steer'. Please confirm that this character took control.}} {{spoiler|the Adepts plans. Lizzy didn't really enjoy it}}
* [[Naked Apron]]: Tomo wears one in Episode 10.
* [[Naughty Nuns]]: Teresa seems to enjoy breast-feeding Sasha bit too much.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: A textbook example in episode 21.
* [[Named Weapons]]: Katja's copper puppet "Mother"/Anastasia, Lizzy's Excalibur sword.
* [[Non
* [[Nosebleed]]: Miyuri (twice) upon seeing Sasha in a maid outfit and calling her "master."
** Also, Joshua gets a few when he sees Tomo's naked body.
Line 138 ⟶ 137:
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Sasha is the bringer of this trope. In episode 23, he goes around sucking the breasts of the women around WHILE EVADING ATTACKS FROM THE BIG BAD!
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: [[Monster of the Week|Opponent of the week]] Eva Silver poses as one. This being ''Qwaser'' it does of course turn out very perverted.
* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Most of students in the [[One
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Both seasons.
* [[Sexy Priest]]: Father Yuri. It's to be noted that he's a soldier that is a priest in disguise.
* [[Shipper
* [[Shout
** A panel in the second chapter of the manga has someone who looks quite a lot like [[Street Fighter|Zangief]]. Given the context, [http://www.mangareader.net/474-28972-23/seikon-no-qwaser/chapter-2.html it's obviously not coincidence].
** Look at [http://www.mangareader.net/474-51219-13/seikon-no-qwaser/chapter-24.html this] and [http://www.mangareader.net/474-51219-14/seikon-no-qwaser/chapter-24.html this]. Any fan of fighting games will most likely recognize it as one of [[Fatal Fury|Billy]] [[The King of Fighters|Kane]]'s special moves.
* [[Side
* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Sasha's main weapon.
* [[Something Completely Different]]: Episode 14, which focuses on the adventures of Lily Mask in her fight against evil.
* [[Spell My Name
** And is the school named St. Mikhailov or St. Mihailov?
** You can stick a fork in the first issue, because Tokyopop went with
* [[The Cast Showoff]] - The song "Passionate squall", of the ED. And can you blame them, when you've got [[Yoko Hikasa]], [[Aki Toyosaki]], [[Minori Chihara]], and [[Aya Hirano]]? Two of the main cast of ''[[
** And then Chihara, who doesn't even voice the main character, sings the second ED.
* [[Tickle Torture]]: Shows up sometimes, specially between Katja and Hana.
Line 166 ⟶ 165:
* [[Unusual Ears]]: Sister Teresa appears to have cat ears (or at least clumps of hair shaped like animal ears), but the reason behind them has not been explained.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: In one episode, Sasha, Teresa, and Tomo pay a visit to Katja while she's in the midst of... training... Hana. Specifically, {{spoiler|she's riding on Hana's back, Hana is fitted with a gag-bridle and a horsetail butt plug, and Katja's using a riding crop to remind her to whinny instead of moan}}. Sasha is just standing there with his usual grumpy expression, Teresa has a very mild "huh" look on her face, and Tomo is "huh" herself with just a tiny bit of blushing. For the rest of the scene they act as if Katja is just sitting around in an easy chair as they talk.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: As a Qwaser, Joshua possesses the ability the control an element. As luck would have it, his designated element is roentgenium (no. 111), an artificial element with a half-life of about four seconds that can't be found in nature on Earth.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]/[[Dragged Into Drag]]: Sasha forced to dress up in a maid outfit as part of a bargain Mafuyu struck with Miyuri in one part of the story. The flip side is that in the anime a Russian soldier was poised to rape him anyway even after finding out his true gender near the end of the episode.
** The author seems to like putting Sasha into drag so much that it became the central theme of the second season where Sasha goes covert ops in an all girls school.
* [[World of Buxom]]: Except '''Fumika''', Hana and the vice student council president.
