History Manga / AnnCassandra

* BigBad: Makita Eitarou is the man attempting to stop Bekku and Banjou from saving people who are fated to die, as he believes that fate should not be tampered with. [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss At least until]] he is arrested, at which point the [[EvilMask Cassandra Mask]], possesses by [[TheCassandra Queen Cassandra]] herself, is revealed as the one masterminding the deadly fates to take revenge on humanity for never believing her.]]
* CassandraTruth: It's in the title, and the reason that Bekku is such a fatalist. She [[spoiler:has visions of the future]], but her childhood friend Nao died because she didn't believe it when [[spoiler:Bekku told her about her own death]]. This lead to Bekku believing that YouCantFightFate. [[spoiler:The final chapter opens up with the Greek myth of Cassandra herself, who is the BigBad desiring revenge on humanity for not believing her.]]

* MagicMirror: [[spoiler:Bekku]]'s prediction medium is a mirror, though any reflective surface will do- Banjou once made her use the reflection of his eyes to see a prediction.

* ScrewDestiny: The core plot. The main characters, Kizaki and Nanaki, strive to prevent the predictions of calamity they have from occurring. In particular, Kizaki knows that he is predicted to die at the age of 20, which drives him to disrupt predictions in the hope that doing so will enable him to avert his own death when the time comes. At the same time, Kizaki takes advantage of his destiny by running all kinds of risks in the course of his quest, confident that he won't die until he turns 20 in three years' time.

* TimeBomb: Makita sets one up in the mall as commanded by his tape
* TokenMiniMoe: Chiasa, while not much smaller than Bakku, is the smallest member of the cast.
* YouCantFightFate: In contrast to the protagonists who are trying to save people from their fates, this is touted by Makita, who has a tape recorder telling him the exact details of what will happen. He gleefully takes it as a gift from the gods, sets himself up as a "prediction enforcer" and considers what Banjou and Bekku are doing as "unforgivable."

When he drops his notebook, she discovers the reason why he gets into so much trouble in the first place is because he has been making sure that the horrible deaths resulting from the accidents don't happen, due to his notebook giving him predictions about the various disasters. Bekku, at first, refuses to believe him, even going so far as to throw the notebook into a canal, but over time comes over to his side. Together, [[TheyFightCrime they work to break fate]]. But a mysterious man, [[BigBad Makita Eitarou]], wants to stop them, as he believes that fate should be absolute...

''Ann Cassandra'', also known as ''[=UnCassandra=]'', is a short manga about the struggle to [[ScrewDestiny defy fate]]. Bekku Nanaki has just moved to Tokyo from her rural hometown. One day, a boy called Banjou Kizaki saves her from a falling billboard. The next day, she discovers that they are classmates, and that he has a reputation for being involved in various accidents and all sorts of trouble.

* LeftHanging: [[spoiler:The ending shows us at the day of Banjou's final prediction - his own death at the [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday age of 20]]. However, we do not find out if or how he dies.]]
