''[[Vampire Game]]'' is a manga series by Judal that was first published in 1996.
A hundred years ago the vampire king Duzell tried to take over the world. The king Phelios was the only one who could stand against him, eventually giving his life to defeat Duzell. As they both died, Duzell swore to be reborn a hundred years later to defeat Phelios.
True to his word, he returns a hundred years later... as a cat. Not just any cat, an orphaned cat that gets adopted by princess Ishtar, Phelios's direct descendant. To keep the bloodline pure for when Phelios returns his descendants are all horribly inbred. Furthermore, the whole family is a mess of intrigue, murder, double-crosses, political manoeuvring, and more murder, all with the aim of wanting to rule Pheliosta. Ishtar, sick of being treated specially simply because of who her ancestor was (not to mention fed up with the multiple assassination and arranged marriage attempts trying to either bump her off the throne or gank it out from under her), agrees to help Duzell find and kill Phelios in his current incarnation.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alas, Poor Yorick]]: Duzell plays with this trope with a random orc head
* [[And Your Reward Is Infancy]]: At the end of the last volume, {{spoiler|Duzell is reincarnated as the son of Ishtar and Darres}}.
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
* {{spoiler|[[Babies Ever After]]: Ishtar and Darres end up having twin boys; Duzell and... cue for the [[Irony]] ''Phelios''.}}
** {{spoiler|Also quite possibly known as Yuujin/Yuujel.}}
** {{spoiler|Or, ya know, [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Ishtar has been in love with Darres pretty much since the age of five, whereas he's never seen her as anything other than the cute kid he's in charge of babysitting...for much of the series, the only part that changes is whether he'd still use the word 'cute'.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
** Also {{spoiler|Laphiji and Seiliez}} though this might not count considering they are {{spoiler|[[Not Blood Siblings]]}}
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|La Gamme, which is mentioned in the first volume and then used by Duzell in the final chapter.}}
* [[Child
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Vord.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: {{spoiler|"My childhood sweetheart rejected me! I WILL START A CIVIL WAR."}}
* [[Ditch the Bodyguards]]: Ishtar. Every time. Although Darres is very tenacious about tracking her down.
* [[Everyone Is Bi]]: [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Evil Twin]]: Vord. Kind of.
* [[Expecting Someone Taller]]: Duzell; his newly reincarnated form is...less than impressive, and far more likely to incite "awwwwwww"s than screams of terror.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* [[Incest Is Relative]]: Not only is it relative, it's the law.
* [[I Want Grandkids]]: Ramia, in the epilogue.
* [[Jerk
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: DARRES.
* [[Lady of War]]: Captain Selen of Pheliosta is called the "Dark Angel" and commonly known to be able to kick the ever-loving crap out of anyone, ever, probably with her hair looking fabulous the ''entire time''. Her role as Darres' adopted mother, as well as her formidable sword skills, probably qualify her for both [[Action Mom]] and [[Hot Chick
* {{spoiler|[[Last-Minute Hookup]]: Ishtar and Darres.}}
* [[Love Dodecahedron]]: Lucy loves Ashley loves Leene is crazy about Yuujel who's got a thing for Darres and also Ishtar who's in love with Darres who ''she'' thinks is in love with Selen who actually loves Galahad. Laphiji loves Seiliez likes Ishtar while everyone thinks he's sleeping with his mom but he's actually banging Sharlen who's also doing Jened who raped the Old Man of the Sea's daughter and has a creepy obsession with Falan only matched by Illsaide's creepy obsession with Falan who herself loves Illsaide but who is also very fond of Vord who loves Ishtar. Also on the Ishtar-loveboat is Duzell, who also has feelings for Illsaide and used to have a thing with {{spoiler|Rishas/Lailis}} while flirting up a storm with Diaage and having some serious [[Foe Yay]] with Phelios. Phelios, meanwhile, had an affair with {{spoiler|Diaage}} while telling Duzell "I want you to be mine". Lailis loves Duzell but Lassen loves ''her''. Hume loves Illsaide and Jill loves Maura loves Jill. Nobody loves Krai.
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[Rags to Royalty]]: Darres, who used to be a street kid. Also, to a lesser extent, Lassen.
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: Ishtar; starts off moreso in the spoiled princess category and develops out of it over the length of the manga.
* [[Revenge
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Phelios, Duzell (being the Vampire King and all) and, depending on your definition of "something", Ishtar.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]: Ishtar, every so often, puts her foot down. This is the result.
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
* [[Through His Stomach]]: Ishtar tries and fails to make chocolate for Darres. She and Duzell drink it instead.
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Jill and Krai.
* [[True Beauty Is
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: If of course you think that Ishtar's {{spoiler|bodyguard, Darres}} counts as a childhood friend...
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Duzell, eventually.
