Vassalord: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

A [[Shoujo]] [[Manga]] by Nanae Chrono about a cyborg vampire named Charley who happens to be a vampire hunter for the Vatican. No, really. Since it's a sin to ingest the blood of a human, Charley lives off his master, playboy Johnny Rayflo, also a vampire. Cue [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] and buckets of [[Ho Yay]]. The first four volumes are available in English from the now-closed [[Tokyo Pop]].

 

----

* [[Anime Catholicism]]

* [[Anywhere but Their Lips]]: Of all the places Charley kisses (and bites) Rayflo, none are on the lips. All the better to heighten the [[Ho Yay]]!

* [[Author Appeal]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|See picture.]]

** The author's surprised it worked.

* [[At the Opera Tonight]]: Charley is invited to one in Chapter 16. He and Rayflo even directly quote a few lines the [[Phantom of the Opera]].

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Rayflo in chapter 2. And boy, does he get a [http://www.mangareader.net/506-29695-46/vassalord/chapter-2.html lot of stares] {{spoiler|At least that's what it looks like at first}}.

* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Craig.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Craig.

* [[Destructo-Nookie]]: Charley seems to think attacking Rayflo with assorted heavy weaponry counts as foreplay. Rayflo seems to agree.

* [[Double Entendre]]: Rayflo's nickname for Charley, "Cherry," is a reference to him being a virgin.

* [[Gorn]]: The {{spoiler|rape scene / torture scene with Barry and Rayflo}} in Volume 3. Also see under [[Squick]].

* [[Green-Eyed Epiphany]]: although Charley doesn't want to admit it (and is [[Beyond the Impossible|STILL in a fair amount of denial about it]]), everytime Rayflo pays significant attention towards someone else or lets them feed on him, he tends to get very jealous. However, this is taken to a whole new level when Barry comes into the situation and he pretty much loses it at the thought of them together, despite the fact that he knows that Rayflo hates it.

** Cheryl is basically a loli version of Charley, at least in appearance.

* [[Hemo-Erotic]]

* [[Heroic Dog]]: Also a cyborg.

* [[Horny Devils]]: Barry. {{spoiler|From what Rayfell tells Charley, Barry's father, the original, seems to be some sort of great demon. Or [[Eldritch Abomination]].}}

* [[I Know Your True Name]]: Figuring out {{spoiler|Barry's true name, Belial}}, is what gives Cherry the power to defeat him. In order to do it, however, Rayflo has to {{spoiler|quote a passage from the Bible, which ends up [[Words Can Break My Bones|killing him.]]}}

* [[Intimate Healing]]: ''Vampiric'' Intimate Healing!

* [[Keet]]/[[Psychopathic Manchild]]: 86, type B. He even gets [[Blush Sticker|blush stickers]].

* [[Kiss of the Vampire]]: Sort of. Plus it's a vampire-on-vampire example.

* [[Mad Eye]]: This is 86's default expression. And when 86 gets serious, [[Beyond the Impossible|somehow]] his eyes [[Up to Eleven|get even more crazy looking!]]

* [[Making Love in All the Wrong Places]]: In the back room of a church, [[Mile-High Club|in an airplane bathroom]], in a prison-cell, in an opera house...

* [[Mile-High Club]]: Charley and Rayflo. Almost.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Rayflo.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Charley is 145, Rayflo's hundreds of years older. Likely applies to almost all the vampires that appear.

* [[One-Man Army]]: [[Crazy Awesome|86.]]

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: The first volume is peppered with references to Eastern European folklore, like the case of Arnold Paole, boneless vampires, krsniks and dhampirs. (Which was fortunately mostly [[All There in the Manual|explained, either in-manga or in the footnote page.]]) Rayflo has demonstrated the ability to walk around in sunlight and transform into a flock of bats, and sleeps in a coffin filled with dirt.

* [[Panty Shot]]: Rayfell. They were ''lacy.''

* [[Power Perversion Potential]]: Rayflo's regeneration powers have proven... useful.

* [[Rape as Drama]]: {{spoiler|When Rayflo gets violently assaulted and dismembered by his old master, Barry.}}

* [[Robot Maid]]: Rayflo's maids, sort of.

** Rayfell's too?

* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Cheryl uses one.

* [[Smoking Hot Sex]]: Rayflo has a habit of doing this. Of course, he seems to chainsmoke.

* [[Spotting the Thread]]: When Rayfell is pretending to be a genderflipped Rayflo, Charley finally figures out the ruse when she kisses him and he notices that she doesn't have Rayflo's forked tongue.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: [[Implacable Man|Bar]][[Horny Devils|ry.]]

* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Rayflo and Craig. Rayfell too, despite being female.

* [[Technical Virgin]]: Charley {{spoiler|until chapter 13, which Rayflo happily points out}}.

* [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]]

* [[Visual Innuendo]]: Charley impaling Rayflo's torso with a huge phallic spiked rod, among many, ''many'' others.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Barry. Charley too, though he doesn't fit the usual characterization.

* [[Wife Husbandry]]: Apparently Rayfell's plans for Cheryl, who seems to be quite happy with it as well.

* [[Yandere]]: Dear god, Barry. With a liberal helping of [[Squick]].

* [[Yaoi Guys]]: Charley and Rayflo, duh. {{spoiler|Barry is a Yaoi Guy, and he probably thinks he's this with Rayflo, although it's not reciprocated.}}
