History Manga / PlusAnima

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Blanca.]]

* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Fly.]]
* ModestRoyalty: [[spoiler:So much, in fact, that Husky never even tells them he was a Crown Prince before becoming a +Anima.]]

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

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Poor Husky; it even gets to the point where the characters ''themselves'' question his gender.

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

* {{Fetish}}: Senri tends to have a thing for Bloodplay. (Although not introduced sexually, it's a pretty herfderf concept.)

* JaywalkingWillRuinYourLife: Sinon tries to quit his 'job' as Magdala's guard, and in turn gets thrown into a coliseum and used as a play toy for Magdala's pet Lionesses. It nearly kills him.

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Fly [[DisneyVillainDeath falls]] into the ocean after losing the Anima that he stole from Cooro.]]

* MadeASlave: [[spoiler:Senri in his backstory and later during the story, along with Husky in Sailand.]]

* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler: Senri.]] Though it isn't really his fault.

* WickedStepmother: Lady Dylana.
* WomanInWhite: [[spoiler: [[MeaningfulName Blanca.]]]]

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Fly]]

* DoorstopBaby: A variation; Cooro fell into a church when he was a baby, [[spoiler:having become +Anima during his [[TraumaticCSection postmortem delivery]], while his mother's newly-deceased body was being [[DueToTheDead consumed by crows]]. The nuns there took him in and raised him.

* DoorstopBaby: A variation; Cooro fell into a church when he was a baby, [[spoiler:having become +Anima during his postmortem delivery, while his mother's newly-deceased body was being consumed by crows]]. The nuns there took him in and raised him.

* DoorstopBaby: A variation; Cooro fell into a church when he was a baby. The nuns there took him in and raised him.

* HappinessInSlavery: Daisy, and some others. [[spoiler:Senri when he was owned by Crystal probably counts.]]

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

** Talking about +Anima or Kim-un-Kur around Igneous isn't the best idea, either.

* 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 [[PlotTailoredToTheParty 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.]]

* OneMythToRuleThemAll: A subtle version. It's implied that legends like mermaids, werewolves or angels may actually be people with Anima powers.

* GeniusBonus: The word "anima" means "soul, spirit" in Latin. In Jungian psychology the anima is an individual's true inner self, or soul.

* BigEater: Cooro, for the most part.

* CheerfulChild: Cooro.

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

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Husky. For one thing, he's male.
**[[DudeLooksLikeALady That doesn't stop some people from mistaking him for one, though.]]

* PettingZooPeople

* PowerTattoo: It's technically a scar, but the +Anima mark is the source of their abilities.
** However, as shown in Chapter 50, [[spoiler:losing an Anima causes the scar to melt away]].

* SuperHumanTrafficking: In Sailand all +Anima are slaves. If they don’t have master, they will be arrested and sold on the slave market anyway. It’s the law. They are mostly sold to people, who can make use of their powers (swimming +Anima for fishman ect.), but more attractive ones may be bought to just stand around and look pretty.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cooro and his apples.

* HairColorDissonance: Husky's hair is described in-universe as being blonde but it appears to be blue or silver in volume covers.

* DoorstopBaby: Cooro was left at a doorstep at a church as an infant. The nuns there took him in and raised him.

* HairColorDissonance: Husky's hair is described in-universe as being blonde but appears to be blue or silver in volume covers.

* HeManWomanHater[=/=]GirlsHaveCooties: Husky. Like wow.
** Husky's technically prepubescent, but since he doesn't actually think girls are 'icky', and has actual legitimate reasons for hating them, it's safe to assume it's unlikely for him to really warm up to women in the future.
*** [[spoiler: [[ShipTease He warms up to Nana just fine.]] He just doesn't show it well.]]

* InstantCosplaySurprise: Played a little different. Cooro is stripped of clothing very quickly by Husky (who also strips himself), instead of being changed into a new outfit. Cooro comments on Husky's ability to remove entire outfits from ''two'' people in a span of what seems to be 3 seconds, and soon becomes confused on 'why [he's] naked too.'

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Husky. For one thing, he's male. **[[DudeLooksLikeALady That doesn't stop some people from mistaking him for one, though.]]

* NearDeathExperience: Anyone with an Anima.
* OneMythToRuleThemAll: More subtale version. It's implied that legends like mermaids, werewolves or angels may be actually people with Amina power.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Husky. For one thing, he's male.

* PowerTattoo: Actually, it's a scar, but the +Anima mark is the source of a +Anima's abilities.

* SuperPowerfulGenetics: People with Anima power are believed to have Kim-un-Kur blood in their veins. [[spoiler: In reality, children gain ability to turn into animal they see during their near dead experience.]]

** 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.]]

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