History Manga / PrincessResurrection

** Not to mention the [[Creator/HPLovecraft member of the Great Race of Yith]] who briefly turns up.

* ShoutOut: Hime's resurrection spell is either an affectionate shout out to or a shameless ripoff of H.P. Lovecraft , depending on how charitable you're feeling.

* {{Shotacon}}: Might be one reason why Hime brought Hiro back to life.
** Riza's two werewolf friends attempt to play this straight before Reiri stops them. It turns out they just wanted to fight him. See BloodKnight above.

This series has the blessing of {{Universal}} Pictures (the Japanese branch was a sponsor of the anime) and so can use everything from classic [[Franchise/UniversalHorror Universal monsters]] to ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture''. Which they have.

* TheStarScream: Vampires are notoriously this; everyone is rather surprised at how loyal Reiri is to Hime; if playful. Most of Hime's enemies are shocked that she's trusting one.

* BackToBackBadasses: Happens sometimes when Hime is fighting alongside someone, even Hiro.

*** Later it's even worse: An old member off the [[CthulhuMythos Great Race of Yith]] appears in one chapter as an assasin, and a squid creature judge in chapter 23 bears an uncanny resemblense to the Venusian from ''Film/ItConqueredTheWorld''.

'''''Princess Resurrection''''' (alternatively titled ''Kaibutsu Oujo'', meaning Monster Princess) is a supernatural manga published in Shonen Sirius by Yasunori Mitsunaga which was adapted as an anime by Creator/{{Madhouse}}. The story revolves around the adventures of a young boy named Hiro Hiyorimi who is hit by a truck at the start of the series. He is killed, but revived by the master of the maid driving the truck, a mysterious woman simply referred to as "the Princess" ("Hime"). Through her blood he becomes a nigh-immortal servant under her command, though he must periodically drink it again to preserve his new existence.

* TimeTravel: Hime and her retainers get sent 2,000 years in the past by a revengeful spider deity. [[spoiler:They manage to go back to the present thanks to Flandre, who however has to stay behind. When they are back, they see a shrine that wasn't there before: it was erected to house the powered-out Flandre.]]

** [[ReturnOfTheLivingDead Trioxin]] is used to reanimate very dangerous zombies.

** A bug-headed scientist, a la the original ''TheFly''; [[Literature/TheDayOfTheTriffids Triffids]], IIRC; The aforementioned Pod People; the series LOVES referencing classic sci-fi/horror. Chapter 13 even features a monster designed along the same lines as the imfamous Rat-Bat-Spider from ''AngryRedPlanet''. How's that for obtuse references!

* VampireInvitation: Reiri required an invitation to enter Hime's home, but was free to enter at will once that invitation was given. This trope also came to [[IncrediblyLamePun bite Duke Kinski]] in the butt, [[spoiler: when he seeks to replenish his supply of Royal Blood using Hime's corpse, only to find out that she's alive and well, and denying him entry to her home.]]
** Even needed an invitation to enter a long-abandoned cabin that obviously had no inhabitants or owners.

** One of Hime's brothers tries to destroy [[spoiler: Flanders]] with a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam megapartical cannon]] in chapter 39. [[spoiler: Flanders]] responds with a [[MazingerZ Photon Cannon]].

** [[spoiler: Dukan and his dog look [[CasshernSins awfully familiar....]]]]

This series has the blessing of {{Universal}} Pictures (the Japanese branch was a sponsor of the anime) and so can use everything from classic Universal monsters to ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. Which they have.

** Oh a car that can travel time when it goes 88 miles per...[[Film/BackToTheFuture Hey wait a minute!]]

** [[spoiler:Later Hiro in [[Film/BackToTheFuture classic fashion.]]]]

* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Hime.
** TheLancer: Riza.
** TheBigGuy: Flandre.
** TheSmartGuy: Reiri.
** TheOneGuy: Hiro.
** TheSixthRanger: Sherwood and her entourage or Nakua.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: In the end, [[spoiler: in the final battle with Sylvia, Hime overwhelms and cancel out her powers, stripping away both their powers. Due to this, both are no longer declared royals and finally free of the royal battle. Sherwood is deemed the winner by default. Sylvia and Fuhito go on to lead their own lives and Hime moves into another mansion along with Riza (who was banished from werewolf society for socializing with a vampire), Reiri (who was allowed to stay within hers but choose to stay with her friends), Flandre, Hiro and his sister Sawawa (still clueless as ever to the monster ongoings). Though the fight is over, Hime knows it'll start up again someday and, even though she no longer has to participate, starts to make plans to aid Sherwood when the time comes.]]

** [[spoiler: FutureBadass: His older self actually comes out of nowhere and saves Hime from getting killed by Sylvia, easily beating her subordinates in the process. Considering how Sylvia seems to be on top of everything, him actually throwing her off guard is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Most noticeably Hime, but also Sherwood and Sylvia.

* GagBoobs, {{Gainaxing}}: Sawawa and Sylvia.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Duke Kiniski. [[spoiler: He imprisoned Hime's sister Sylvia and drank her blood for his own pleasure, but ended up as a Blood Warrior as a result. When Sylvia manages to free herself from captivity, he's left without a blood source and ends up as a shriveled corpse.]]

** [[spoiler: Future Hiro trades his regenerative ability for a single indefinite lifespan. However, he compensates for the loss of his DeathIsCheap ability by taking several levels in Badass--enough to take on Madeline and Sylvia by himself--thus making sure his life ''won't'' come cheap. Much to the surprise of Hime and the readers]]

** Chapter 77: [[spoiler: Gilliam dies, leaving the battle count down to four. He, like Emil, wishes for Hime to be the next ruler. Sherwood says the same thing (though she gets better). Whats more Sylvia now knows of Hime's power.]]

*** [[GunsAkimbo ChainsawsAkimbo.]]

* SlaveToPR: The Royal Family plays with this. Reiri and Riza converse on this trope when they realize all the royals live in mansions in the top of a hill--the Royals not only have to win, they must display courage and fitness to rule, so they need to display they are not afraid... but they send assassins to dispose of one other. This leads to awkward family dynamics, in that even when one of them claims to feel no hostility towards the others, they're not believed. And yet it's necessary for them to be admired among the monsters: when Reiri asks Riza if she would follow a cowardly Hime, Riza immediately answers "No".

* SlaveToPR: Played with the Royal Family: Reiri and Riza converse this trope when they realize all the royals live in mansions in the top of a hill: The Royals not only had to win, they had to win as someone brave and fit to be king, so they need to display they are not afraid... but they send assasins to dispose of each other. This leads to interesting situations: Even when they claim they are generous with his sibling, no sibling believes them. And yet is necessary for them to be admired like the monsters: When Reiri asks Riza if she would follow Hime if she acted cowardly, she immediately answers "No".

* ResurrectiveImmortality / ImmortalityInducer: The blood warriors, most noticeably the protagonist Hiro. When a person die, one of the royal siblings can bring them back to life with their blood. This makes the blood warriors semiimmortal. When killed they will come back to life and when just hurt, their wounds will heal quick. However, there is a price to pay: the blood warriors have to drink royal blood every few days or they will die for real. So they have to follow and fight for one of the royal siblings to survive. And of course, they have to die, before they can become semiimmortal to begin with.

** [[spoiler: FutureBadass: His older self actually comes out of nowhere and saves Hime from getting killed by Silvia in the future. Easily beating her subordinates in the process. Considering how Silva seems to be on top of everything. Him actually throwing her off guard is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.]]

** [[spoiler: When Future hiro trade his regenerative ability with a single indefinite lifespan however hiro compensate the loss of death is cheap capability by taking several level in badass enough to take on madeline and silvia by himself making his life won't come cheap. Much to a surpise of Hime and the readers]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Played with in the last episode of the anime where Hiro almost kisses Hime, but she slapped him at the last moment with Reiri commenting "You were too slow Hiro." Should be noted she didn't try to stop him before everyone else saw them together. Manga wise their relationship seems to be a bit above master-servant, but below lovers.
** Riza and Reiri, [[{{Subtext}} according]] [[{{shipping}} to the]] [[YuriFan fans.]]

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: in Chapter 87, [[GagBoobs Sylvia's ginormous breasts]] appear to [[spoiler: have shrunk after she lost her royal powers.]]

There's a SpinOff manga called ''Manga/{{Naqua-Den}}'' that stars Nakua, the spider deity that partners with Hime.
