History Manga / PlusAnima

* EverythingIsWorseWithBears: Senri, though he's generally nice unless you decide to harm his friends. [[spoiler:Of course, there's the matter of what happens when his eyepatch comes off...]]

* FriendToAllChildren: Senri. He will go great lenghts to protect a child, immediately from the moment he sees it's needed.

* DroppedABridgetOnHim: One gets dropped on Kevin.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Cooro (brown eyes and hair) and Husky (blue
* [[spoiler:DarkAndTroubledPast]]: All of the main characters have one of these, [[spoiler:because childhood trauma causes children to become Anima]] eyes and hair).

* [[spoiler:DarkAndTroubledPast]]: All of the main characters have one of these, [[spoiler:because childhood trauma causes children to become Anima]]

* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Cooro (brown eyes and hair) and Husky (blue eyes and hair).

* SilentBob: Senri and Pinion.
** Senri is actually more similar to TheQuietOne.

** According to the author, Nana loves homemade food and baking, which reminds her of a warm and comforting home.

* {{Tsundere}}: Husky, and how.

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be A Forest At Night?]]: To be fair to Nana, she has a [[AbusiveParents damn good excuse.]]

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Nana reveals that [[AlcoholicParent her father]] used to beat her and her mother. A flashback shows that during one beating Nana tried to stop him which accidentally led to her impaling his hand with her sewing scissors. In a rage he chased her into the dark woods with a cleaver, where she first turned into her bat +Anima to save her life.]]

* BerserkButton: Don't call Husky a girl.

* WingedHumanoid: Cooro, Nana, and all the other bird/flying +Anima.

* SuperDrowningSkills: You're not Husky? Oh, ok; then you can't even come close to being able to swim.
** More like, you're not a fish +Anima? Forget you!, since [[spoiler: Husky couldn't swim either before he became a +Anima. Actually, that's the whole reason he ''is'' one.]]

* {{Fairy Tale Motifs}}: The "Mermaid Princess" legend pararells to The Non-[[{{Disneyfication}} Disneyfied]] {{Little Mermaid}} story.

''+Anima'' is a manga series written by Natsumi Mukai, and licensed in America by [[TokyoPop TOKYOPOP]]. Beings who possess animal-like powers walk among humans in this alternate universe. These mysterious mutants, the +Anima, are shunned by society. Four outcasts in particular - Cooro, a boy with crow-like powers; Husky, a fish-boy; Senri, a bear +Anima; and a girl named Nana, who wields the power of the bat - search for others like themselves while trying to gain acceptance in a world cruel to anyone or anything that is different. It's BetterThanItSounds.

* HoYay: Nevermind that they're kids. Husky being constantly [[DudeLooksLikeALady mistaken for a hot girl]] generally leads to lots of interesting situations, but particularly in the first chapter, [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/anima/v01/c001/36.html Cooro either deliberately hits on Husky]], or is very oblivious that ThatCameOutWrong and just likes being dramatic. Even though ''he'' knows Husky's a boy. There's a lot of Cooro/Husky subtext, in fact, as well as an instance of Senri licking Cooro and [[MistakenForGay Rose getting the wrong idea]].
** [[DoubleEntendre The Cooro]] [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Punishing Stick]].
** Then there was the boy who fell in love with "the mermaid" (Husky had a fit over that), and Fly and Igneous (who ''never stops blushing''). And, much more creepily, Fly's behaviour with Cooro is... just, ''creepy''.
** Cooro and Shad in chapter 9. Cooro acts simply heartbroken for a long while when Shad kicks him out. Husky even seems [[{{Tsundere}} slightly jealous]] about it.
** Husky strips both Cooro and himself, in ''Husky's Depression''. [[CrowningMomentofFunny Though Husky was trying to prove to Nana he actually has man-parts]], having Cooro get naked was completely outside the bounds of proving his point. [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday And his excuse as to why he did it was super lame.]]
** Despite it not being direct HoYay, it's hard to get over the fact that Husky's opponent in the coliseum is a man named [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Dick]].

* {{Fairy Tale Motifs}}: The "Mermaid Princess" legend pararells to The Non-[[{{Disneyfication Disneyfied]] {{Little Mermaid}} story.

* WhatKindofLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Played with - straight, sometimes averted, and lampshaded with Husky, whose Anima powers are only any use [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman when water is involved... which happens a lot.]] However, Nana once remarks that hey, Husky [[EigenPlot was the only one who didn't use his Anima in this chapter]], to which he answers that duh, there was no water. [[GenreSavvy Cooro then suggests they try to find a lake for their next destination, just because.]]
