History Manga / BloodLad

Not to be confused with [[ComicBook/YoungJustice Aqua Lad]].

* JerkAss: The residents of the Demon World are pretty unpleasant people. The only characters that can be remotely construed as 'nice' are [[CuteGhostGirl Fuyumi]], [[{{Moe }}Liz]] and [[{{Bishonen}} Knell]], but even they have their moments of being just as bad as the rest of the cast.

%%* {{Bishonen}}: Braz D. Blood.

An anime adaptation debuted in the Summer2013Anime season. Creator/YenPress licensed the manga in English, while Creator/VizMedia has the anime licensed in North America.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They all live in hell as a species of demon, and their powers vary wildly. Staz, for example, can crush a person's heart by clenching his fist, and suck out their demonic energy - "miasma" - to heal himself ''after'' he has bitten them, through implanting one of his teeth in the bite. He doesn't have to drink blood and can withstand sunlight and garlic. He can also use MindControl on people who have touched by his saliva.

%%* PlotTriggeringDeath: Fuyumi.

* SailorFuku: Fuyumi wears one.

* WeaponOfChoice: Exaggerated with Braz. He seems to be obsessed with Revolvers since most of his tools are made to look like one in some way.

The manga tends to subvert or parody some action/battle manga tropes. A anime adaptation debuted in the Summer2013Anime season. Creator/VizMedia has it licensed in North America. Currently, there is no word of a 2nd season in development.

The series finished up in 2016 with 17 volumes.

* JerkAss: The residents of the Demon World are pretty unpleasant people. The only characters that can be remotely construed as 'nice' are [[CuteGhostGirl Fuyumi]], [[Main/Moe Liz]] and [[Main/Bishonen Knell]], but even they have their moments of being just as bad as the rest of the cast.

* AloofBigBrother: Braz. A {{bishonen}} whose motivations are unclear. [[spoiler:Does he want to kill Staz for his great power, or did he seal him to save him from power overload?]] Expect fangirls to turn him into a BespectacledBastardBoyfriend any day now.

* AloofBigBrother: Braz. A {{megane}} {{bishonen}} whose motivations are unclear. [[spoiler:Does he want to kill Staz for his great power, or did he seal him to save him from power overload?]] Expect fangirls to turn him into a BespectacledBastardBoyfriend any day now.

%%* {{Megane}}: Braz and Goyle.

A [[Characters/BloodLad character list]] is in development.

* BerserkButton: Calling a certain leader of North Demon World a pig:

* CoolGate:
** Bell can create Black Curtains between any two places, not just between Earth and Hell. [[spoiler: Papladon Akimu can also create these with his magic rings.]] Later it is revealed that [[spoiler: Bell's brother Knell and father Heads Hydra]] can also do this.

* KnightTemplarParent: [[spoiler: Neyn]] will protect her daughter, even if it means her daughter has to remain as a ghost and Staz has to die.

* LoveTriangle: Both Staz and Wolf like Fuyumi.

* OccidentalOtaku: Staz loves Japanese pop culture, but it's slow to filter down to Hell, and he's never been to Japan. In attempt to impress Fuyumi, he dons his hilarious idea of what an average Japanese person wears. The first thing he does when he meets Fuyumi is ask her about manga and games.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The manga ends with Papladon and Herrshaft Grimm
being defeated and with Braz's help, Fuyumi is finally revived and is able to return to the human world, but without any memories of her time with Staz or any of her adventure with her new friends on the Demon World. Thankfully, during the final scenes, it is shown that this time Staz has come to the human world and become a student in Fuyumi's class. Staz then introduces himself to Fuyumi again and it is hinted that even if she truly lost her memories of him, they can at least [[RelationshipResetButton re-start their relationship from scratch]]. Hopefully, without any supernatural interferences this time.]]

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Richarz Blood, the previous King of the Demon World and Braz, Staz and Liz's father, is brought back from the dead by Braz, only to be killed again by Papladon Akimu]].
* BadassNormal: Fuyumi's father is described by Heads Hydra, a '''MASSIVE three-headed dragon''', as the only man he has ever feared. White Step also qualifies, as he is arguably the Demon World's most skilled and talented fighter despite the fact that he is human.

Too late Fuyumi notices Bell looking on through either a window or a portal.
