History Manga / BloodAlone

* AwesomeMcCoolname: ...seriously, [[{{alliterativename}} Kuroe]] [[RepetitiveName Kurose]]? ("Kuro" means "black".) That's like naming someone Darke [=McDark=]. It is revealed to be a name he was "allowed" to take by his teacher.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Kaoru Souma, a young singer who has a crush on Misaki.

* BigBadEnsemble: Kuroe hunts down the Adivuarat Kurai, Nagato, the elder vampire who took his sister and killed Misaki's father. The duo are also being targeted by Einseigrad Sparuda led by TheDragon Dragon Lancelot, a European vampire assassins guild, who wants to use Misaki's, or rather [[spoiler:Guinevere's blood]], to revive their leader Mordred. Both don't really like each other but they are pretty comfortable.

** Chloe can evacuate civilians from a train and decapitate vampires before they blink. Kuroe learns this ability as well.
** Gwalchmei calls it "Chloe's World" and his version is "Gwalchmei's Night", but states that the user actually [[SuperSpeed becomes 30000 times faster]] to get this effect.

* BigBadDuumvirate: Kuroe hunts down the Adivuarat Kurai, Nagato, the elder vampire who took his sister and killed Misaki's father. The duo also are targeted by Einseigrad Sparuda, a European vampire assassins guild who wants to use Misaki's, or Gwenhwyfar's blood, to revive their leader Mordred. Both are pretty comfortable with each other

* BigBad: Kuroe hunts down the Adivuarat Kurai, the vampire who took his sister and killed Misaki's father. And he happens to be the head of Einseigrad Sparuda, a European vampire assassins guild that doesn't respect territorial rules.
* BodyguardCrush: Ever after becoming sort of foster father, Misaki tries not at all subtle moves to romance with Kuroe, though he's just doesn't feel that way to her or fails no notice her intentions entirely.

* ChildSoldiers: Maria, who was trained by vampires to be an assassin.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Considering Kuroe is the only person she has left, Misaki is really not okay with him interacing with other females, or even leaving home, and has nighmares of him leaving her alone.

* TheInformant: Sly provides Kuroe information about nearby incidents, for a price. And also provides Misaki information about Kuroe so she wouldn't run around clueless looking for him.
* MagicalEye: A scar left by an Adivuarat Kurai (Eyes That See the Truth) vampire gave Kuroe some extra abilities, such as ImmuneToMindControl and TrueSight.
* MrFanservice: Kuroe "Tall dark and bishy" Kurose. ''Blood Alone'' is technically a {{Seinen}} manga but may actually have a higher female than male readership.

* HeroicRROD: Misaki's {{Enemy Within}} surfacing a lot quicker the closer to true death she is. It (her vampire side) warns Kuroe of this after she nearly killed by a body snatching murderer.

* ReluctantMonster: Misaki is a complete innocent.

* TimeStandsStill: Chloe can evacuate civilians from a train and decapitate vampires before they blink. Kuroe learns this ability as well.
* {{Tsundere}}: Kuroe is sometimes on spot why Misaki acts in a certain (childish) way, only to her get extremely defensive about it instead of admitting her feelings.

* CurbStompBattle: Any time Kuro is pushed far enough to actually use magic, his enemy is generally dead or beaten in a matter of seconds.

* GenderBlenderName: Kuroe's name is actually a romanization of 'Chloe', because he's inherited the powers of [[LegacyCharacter Chloe the magician]].

Former {{vampire hunter}} Kuroe Kurose is leading a very different life these days; despite vampires having killed his Hunter sister and accidentally granting him immunity to their glamour; he happened upon a young girl named Misaki who had been freshly turned into a vampire. Settling down and becoming a novelist and {{private investigator}}, he has adopted her and is trying to help her from succumbing to the EnemyWithin.

* TheMentor: Kuroe was taught to be a KungFuWizard by his Sensei; a mage dressed in a VictorianLondon style [[GorgeousPeriodDress Black Funeral Gown]] who can StealthHiBye, and was apparently named Chloe. He refers to her as "The Lady" and other vampires call her [[RedBaron "Sinistre Femme" or "The Woman With A Forbidden Name"]]

* TheRenfield: They are actually called "Renfields", servants to vampires who are given vampire blood. This generates a feeling of love and obedience.

* [[LesbianVampire Gay Vampire]]: Higure is rather fond of his {{bishounen}} Renfields; nothing outright is stated; but he does like having them snuggle him. He also enjoys hitting on Kuroe; and while his being a ''vampire elder'' means he's dangerous, his being gay isn't demonized.

So Kaoru unsuccessfully tries to hit on Misaki while Misaki thinks Kaoru only has eyes for her mentor.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: ...seriously, [[{{alliterativename}} Kuroe]] [[RepetitiveName Kurose]]? ("Kuro" means "black".) That's like naming someone Darke [=McDark=]. It is revealed to be a name he was "allowed" to take by his [[TheObiWan teacher.]]

'''This manga contains examples of:'''

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: ...but apparently not ''that'' different. They are remarkably like the ones from ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade''. Sunshine is actually a weakness, [[JapaneseVampire surprisingly.]] It is commented that they're mostly imported from Europe. One major difference is that it takes a while for the EnemyWithin to kick in; it's accelerated should a vampire get injured.
