History Manga / HaouAiren

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Hakuron keeps saying horrible things about himself and insists in telling Kurumi that he's a monster and she should reject him for such stuff, but that doesn't stop him from hugging her passionately and sexing her up. Many times, against her will.

* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Once Kurumi's StockholmSyndrome sets in, Hakuron tries this technique on her a lot because he realizes that [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies his enemies will do horrible things to her]] if he appears to care for her. He even goes so far as to [[spoiler: make her be Fuuron's mistress instead of his own.]] It doesn't work very well.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Hakuron went up the Triads's ranks via basically kicking all kind of ass to get there. Also, that's how he recruited Diron into the group.
* AttemptedRape: More than once, but special note goes to [[spoiler: the TooDumbToLive triad guys who grab the escaping and BSOD'ing Kurumi and attempt to make her a SexSlave]] and [[spoiler: Reilan having her schoolmates try to rape Kurumi, out of jealousy and as a part of her ThanatosGambit]]. Hakuron saves her both times, of course. Which doesn't stop him from sexing her up in non-con/dub-con ways, tho.

* BettyAndVeronica: Kaafai (Betty) and Hakuron (Veronica), for Kurumi. [[spoiler: Until Kaafai goes {{Yandere}} too.]] Kurumi (Betty) and Reilan (Veronica), for Hakuron.

* PromotionToParent: Kurumi gets a partial one, having to help her mother with her little brothers' raising after her father's death. Not only that, but Mrs. Akino is an IllGirl who badly needs Kurumi's help.

* IllGirl: Kurumi's mother. The reason why Kurumi is the main breadwinner because of Mrs. Akino's bad health.

* [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini or RedemptionEqualsDeath: Hakuron, as he dies in the last volume. It ''really'' depends on your view of him.]]
* [[MafiaPrincess Mafia Princes and Princesses]]: Hakuron, Reilan and [[spoiler: Suiron]].

* NoMisterBondIExpectYouToDine: [[spoiler: Eason, to Kurumi.]]
** [[spoiler: IHaveYourWife: What follows. More exactly: "I Have Your Girly Looking Friend Too And You WILL Help Me In My Plans Or He'll Die."]]

* ParentalFavoritism: Poor [[spoiler: Suiron.]]
* PetTheDog: Or better said, the kitten named Miruku.

** [[spoiler: OffingTheOffspring: Hakuron was prophesized to bring disgrace to his family. FromBadToWorse, there we go.]]

* StreetUrchin: [[spoiler: Hakuron spent a while like this, until taken in by TheTriadsAndTheTongs.]]
** [[spoiler: {{Tykebomb}}: After being "adopted" by the triads.]]
* {{Streetwalker}}: [[spoiler: Fuoron]]'s backstory.

* [[spoiler: TogetherInDeath]]: [[spoiler: Subverted in the drama CD. It appears that Hakuron and Kurumi perished in the church fire at their wedding. However, the epilogue reveals that they actually survived.]]

** [[spoiler: ChekhovsGun: Thanks to having it, Hakuron was taken in by his adoptive father and then into the triads.]]

* WhiteShirtOfDeath: [[spoiler:Hakuron.]]

* {{Yandere}}: Hakuron, Reilan, and [[spoiler: Kaafai after his FaceHeelTurn.]]

* DomesticAbuser: Unlike Kurumi, Hakuron's ex [[spoiler: Reilan]] realizes how fucked up their relationship was. At one point, she ''very'' bitterly says about him "stealing her body, her life, and her soul".

* FetishizedAbuser: Hakuron, who threatens Kurumi with rape when they meet to keep her quiet since he's being tracked. Later he kidnaps her to make her his mistress as "thanks" for saving him, and [[spoiler:rapes Kurumi repeatedly at one point]]. Despite all of that, Kurumi believes she can change him. Oh, and he receives quite the heroic treatment from the narrative.

** [[spoiler: Except in this case, it's the hero (sort of) raping the heroine and forcing the RomanticRunnerUp to watch.]]

* MoralityPet: Kurumi aims to become this to Hakuron, as much as she can be to a BastardBoyfriend like him.

* SecretlySelfish: Both of Kurumi and Hakuron are guilty to this trope, since the former puts up a hopeless LoveMartyr towards her BastardBoyfriend against standing up for herself and abandoning her family and friends back at home, and Hakuron, himself, tries to justify his actions towards Kurumi as a way to “protect” her, but it made the situation between them worse.

* [[spoiler: SpurnedIntoSuicide: Reilan didn't exactly kill herself with her own hands, but set a ThanatosGambit specifically to have her revenge against the BastardBoyfriend that left her for Kurumi.]]

* BastardBoyfriend: Hakuron, who threatens Kurumi with rape when they meet to keep her quiet since he's being tracked. Later he kidnaps her to make her his mistress as "thanks" for saving him, and [[spoiler:rapes Kurumi repeatedly at one point]]. Not only that, but it's pretty clear that [[spoiler: his treatment of Reilan in the past wasn't exactly the best either, considering what she ''very'' bitterly says about him "stealing her body, her life, and her soul"]].

* DistressBall: [[spoiler: Kurumi ''and'' Fuoron]] in Volume 8.

* ForcedToWatch: [[spoiler: Except in this case, it's the hero (sort of) raping the heroine and forcing the RomanticRunnerUp to watch.]]

* SheCleansUpNicely: Kurumi fits very well in a {{Qipao}} [[spoiler: and in a bridal gown]].

* AdultFear: Kurumi was abducted by Hakuron to be his mistress in Hong Kong as "thanks" for saving his life. But how the hell was Kurumi’s mother was going to react about this situation, along with [[spoiler: not knowing her daughter’s rape at the hands of her BastardBoyfriend?]]
** [[spoiler: Reilan’s death at the hands of Hakuron, as part of her ThanatosGambit was NOT something a father would want or expected.]]
** [[spoiler: Having your son beaten up in front of you was one thing, but how was Kaafai’s mother going to react when her son just straight up and shot Hakuron to death on the latter’s wedding day?]]
