''[[Towa Kamo Shirenai]]'' ("Maybe Forever") is an 8-tomes shoujo manga by [[Michiyo Akaishi]], published by Shogakukan. It has both romantic and supernatural themes in its plot, which goes like this...
 
Kosumo Koganehara is a young girl with the bad luck of being both extremely ill and having a ''very'' rare bloodtype. Because of that, the poor kid has lived her life going from hospital to hospital, and lately she's had to go to the USA for treatment. While writing a letter, Kosumo has an horrifying seizure and must be operated, but no one can find a donor.

{{tropelist}}
=== [[Towa Kamo Shirenai]] has the following tropes: ===
 
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: Hitsuji has long dark hair
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Hitsuji, on Himiko. {{spoiler|And Mizuki mixes this with [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Hitsuji, via Susano-oh... his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] of sorts.}}
* [[Butterfly of Death and Rebirth]]: Butterflies! Everywhere! So pretty! [[Oh Crap|Wha...?]] [[Nightmare Fuel|Aieeeeeee!]]
* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]]: Mizuki's sister, Azumi.}}
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: {{spoiler|Azumi, also a [[Necromancer]]}}
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Hitsuji intended to kill himself so he and Himiko could be [[Together in Death]]. He doesn't go through, once the Ikutama starts glowing...
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
** Also, {{spoiler|Azumi}}'s ''"Older brother... I'm sorry!"''
* [[Heart Trauma]]: The source of Kosumo's troubles.
{{quote| ''I have the feeling that my poor heart is a defective product, which menaces to stop...''}}
* [[He Knows Too Much]]: Himiko's clanswomen try to kill Kosumo because of this.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: By double: Himiko was fatally injured to save a little girl, and then her blood and organs were what saved Kosumo. Lampshaded by an American doctor, who refers to Himiko as "an heroine" while speaking to Hitsuji.
Line 51 ⟶ 50:
** [[Narm]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/towa_kamoshirenai/v01/c001/24.html ... It could've certainly been drawn less weirdly.] Way to ruin the genuinely dramatic scene, Akaishi.
* [[Sempai-Kohai]]: Kosumo and Mizuki
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Himiko's thunder and lightning powers.
* [[Shoujo]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: Hitsuji
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Himiko, Hiyoshi, Azumi
* [[True Love's Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Kosumo uses this in the end, to try debrainwashing Hitsuji. It causes his two personalities to start struggling... and when Azumi attacks Kosumo afterwards, he breaks free and protects Kosumo.}} Sort of a [[Justified Trope]] in this case: {{spoiler|Kosumo deduces that she can use her [[Miko]] powers to directly debrainwash Hitsuji, but to do so [[Intimate Healing|she needs to have close skin contact with him.]] What would be better than a kiss on the mouth, huh?}}
* [[Tsundere]]: Kosumo starts as this. In her first meeting with Hitsuji, she scolds him for killing a butterfly in front of her (to be fair, back then she has no idea about what these butterflies are). Then she protects him without hesitation from Himiko's other subordinates... and they start bickering right there.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Poor, poor Mizuki.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Three in the same scene! Kosumo calls ut Hisuji first, then he gets called out by Himiko's clanswomen led by Hiyoshi, and ''then'' Kosumo calls the ladies out for their treatment of Hitsuji.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Himiko, before her death. Fitting, as she is the descendant of a clan that is very traditional in addition to its mission.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Hitsuji gets told this by Hiyoshi and Himiko's other relatives.
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: Well, Kosumo didn't exactly ''kill'' Himiko, but she got her heart and blood. Now she's stuck with Himiko's powers and life duty.
* [[Yandere]]: {{spoiler|The revived Azumi, to a degree. Her desperate desire to live overrid anything else in her life, so she clings to the [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] Hitsuji like crazy.}}
