History Manga / HonooNoAlpenRose

* AllGermansAreNazis: Inverted. Leonhardt Aschenbach is Austrian, but hates Nazis with every fiber of his being, his friend Heinrich is a Nazi but only joined as a ploy to gather information on them and leak them to LaResistance. Count Georges de Gourmant, on the other hand, is French and a Nazi collaborator.

* GratuitousGerman: German is one of the spoken languages of Switzerland (the other being French).
* HappyEnding: Despite the tragic tone of the anime, the shocking twists, the obsessive villains and the bleak beginning, the anime ends with [[spoiler: the Nazis' defeat in World War Two and Jeudi and Lundi getting married]].

* AdaptationDeviation: In the original manga, Lundi's family raised Jeudi until she was taken in by a store. In the anime this was changed to a hospital, with Jeudi becoming a nurse in training. In both iterations. Lundi continues to visit her and pursue a romance with her.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The recopilatory movies finish right after Lundi and Jeudi finally get free from the Count... and right as UsefulNotes/WorldWarII finally takes off. It's a full blown HappyEnding in the other Alpine Rose media.]]

* CompilationMovie: The 20 episodes of the TV series would later be recopilated and mixed into two movies.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Jeudi's parents died in the accident that left her amnesiac. [[spoiler: They actually didn't - her father is in the hospital for his injuries, while her mother was blinded. Leon's parents, however, ''were'' killed by the Nazis.]]
* CreatorProvincialism: Averted. Creator/MichiyoAkaishi is Japanese, but the anime takes place in Switzerland, then Austria, then Lichtenstein, and there are no Japanese colours. The only person of colour in the series is Louise, the Jewish girl who escaped the Nazis in Switzerland, but she doesn't make an appearance in the anime.
* DamselInDistress: Not in the series itself, but in the anime's theme song, Jeudi is portrayed as this as the Count clutches her arm and then forces her to dance with him.
* DanceOfRomance: In the anime's theme song, Jeudi dances with both the Count and Lundi, both of who have feelings for her. With the Count, she's unhappy, but with Kundi, her face breaks into a smile.

* GratuitousGerman: German is one of the spoken languages of Switzerland (the other being French)

* PhenotypeStereotype: The vast majority of Swiss characters have dark brown or blonde hair.
* LaResistance: [[spoiler: Leonhardt and [[TheMole his friend Heinrich]] are members of it. So were Leon's parents ([[KillTheCutie and they die for it]]) and Jeudi's (who survive, [[BreakTheCutie but are broken]])]]

* SiblingYinYang: Hans is boyish, aggressive and rude while Clara is a GenkiGirl.

** There are also two characters named Marie (Marie Muller and Marie Strasser]].

Lundi Cortot is a boy who lives in UsefulNotes/{{Switzerland}} with his aunt and uncle in 1932, few years before UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. One day, in the aftermath of a plane crash, him and his family find a [[SoleSurvivor little girl]] in a dandelion plain. Not remembering her own name, and her only clue to the past being her parrot Printemps, she is taken in by Lundi and his family. She is named "Jeudi" because it is the French word for Thursday, and Lundi found her on a Thursday.

It has music by Joe Hisaishi and designs by Akemi Takada of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' and ''Manga/KimagureOrangeRoad'' fame. The 20 episodes of the TV series would later be recopilated and mixed into two movies.

!!''Honoo no Alpen Rose'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: The original manga was called ''Alpen Rose''. However, the anime adaptation is called ''''Flame'' of the Alpen Rose''.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: There's the Count's pedophilic crush on Jeudi for one. None of his men are surprised at it, and the characters that object to it say so because Jeudi loves Lundi, and not because the Count is a adult while Jeudi is a child.

* AdaptionDeviation: In the original manga, Lundi's family raised Jeudi until she was taken in by a store. In the anime this was changed to a hospital, with Jeudi becoming a nurse in training. In both iterations. Lundi continues to visit her and pursue a romance with her.
* AllGermansAreNazis: Inverted. Leonhardt Aschenbasch is Austrian, but hates Nazis with every fiber of his being, his friend Heinrich is a Nazi but only joined as a ploy to gather information on them and leak them to LaResistance. Count Georges de Gourmant, on the other hand, is French and a Nazi collaborator.

* ConveniantlyAnOrphan: Jeudi's parents died in the accident that left her amnesiac. [[spoiler: They actually didn't - her father is in the hospital for his injuries, while her mother was blinded. Leon's parents, however, ''were'' killed by the Nazis.]]

* FlowerMotifs: Obviously, the Alpine Rose (Rhododendron ferrugineum), a shrub indignenous to the Alps.
* FlowersOfNature: To show how lush Leon's garden is, we see fully blooming roses everywhere.

* {{Shojo}}: Even in the Nazi-invaded Switzerland setting, the anime retains it's shojo style.

* AdaptionalDeviation: In the original manga, Lundi's family raised Jeudi until she was taken in by a store. In the anime this was changed to a hospital, with Jeudi becoming a nurse in training. In both iterations. Lundi continues to visit her and pursue a romance with her.
* AllGermansAreNazis: Inverted. Leonhardt Aschenbasch is Austrian, but hates Nazis with every fiber of his being, his friend Heinrich is a Nazi but only joined as a ploy to gather information on them and leak them to LaResuistance. Count Georges de Gourmant, on the other hand, is French and a Nazi collaborator.

* TheBeautifulElite: Count Gormant and his fellow French elites are very well-dressed and manicured.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: Jeudi and Lundi are both children and subjected to extremely brutal experiences surrounding the war, and Jeudi breaks a couple of times. [[spoiler:Alfred/Jean-Jacques was also a child who was abused badly hence him being the way he is today.]]
* DanceOfRomance: In the opening, Jeudi dances with both the Count and Lundi, both of who have feelings for her.

* GratuitousEnglish: The obituaries of Leonhardt's parents are written in English, [[ArtisticLicense despite]] the fact that he lives in Austria, where the spoken language is German.

* HistoricalFiction: The anime is set in pre-UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo Switzerland.
* MusicToInvadePolandTo: Inverted. The Nazis love music and piano music, so they sponsor a concert that Leonhardt plays. He secretly sneaks in the anti-Nazi anthem ''Alpen Rose'' and none of them are the wiser.
* NoSwastikas: Averted. The anime blatantly depicts swastikas.

* ParentalAbandonment: Jeudi's parents died in the accident that left her amnesiac. [[spoiler: They actually didn't - her father is in the hospital for his injuries, while her mother was blinded. Leon's parents, however, ''were'' killed by the Nazis.]]

* AdaptionalPlotlineChange: In the original manga, Lundi's family raised Jeudi until she was taken in by a store. In the anime this was changed to a hospital, with Jeudi becoming a nurse in training. In both iterations. Lundi continues to visit her and pursue a romance with her.
* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: The anime's French OP was sung by Estelle Baron, while it's Italian one was sang by
* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: The original manga is called ''Alpenrose'', but the anime adaptation is called ''Flame of the Alpen Rose''.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: Not only Jeudi's original part-time work was changed from store attendant to prospect nurse to avert including the AttemptedRape incident, but [[spoiler: her DisguisedInDrag stint]] is totally cut out -- likely to avoid showing how [[spoiler: Liesl gets quite the StupidSexyFlanders over "Julian" as well as the two {{Unsettling Gender Reveal}}s (and Liesl kinda being IfItsYouItsOkay).]]

* ComingOfAgeStory: The anime is about a 12 year old girl finding clues about her DarkAndTroubledPast, with dark horses form them popping up and here and there.

* DubNameChange: Jeudi is named Julie and Lundi is called Stephane in both the French and original Italian dubs. In Arabic, Lundi is Hassan and Jeudi is Juman.

* NoSwastikas: Averted. An example is the cover for the DVD, [[http://bakabt.me/161499-honoo-no-alpen-rose-h264-arr.html as seen here]].
** And here as well. [[spoiler: Which keeps triggering Jeudi's memories.]] It's never referred to as such, but as "the Black Cross".
* ParentalAbandonment: Jeudi's parents died in the accident that left her amnesiac. [[spoiler: They actually didn't. Leon's parents, however, ''were'' killed by the Nazis.]]

* OneSteveLimit: Averted, as there are two characters named Franz. Both are the fathers of two the main characters, interestingly.

* SoleSurvivor: Jeudi and Printemps. [[spoiler: Subverted, they weren't alone in the end.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: Both Jeudi and [[spoiler: her mother Helene]] were this. The first, [[spoiler: via appearing in the Durant mansion and thus throwing a wrench in Toulonchamp's plans, which involved him having his own daughter Mathilda as his spy as well as Jeudi's BodyDouble; it goes double when, in the anime, she starts singing the Alpine Rose song when she's being taken away, letting Helene know the truth.]] The second, also in the anime, pulls this via [[spoiler: crawling towards Toulonchamp in the middle od his HostageSituation, and holding on his leg while he's holding Jeudi at knife point, distracting him enough to let Lundi pounce on him and setting Jeudi free.]]
** However, [[spoiler: Jeudi's dad/Helene's lover Friederich Brandel]] was the biggest one. [[spoiler: The aforementioned Alpine Rose song? It was his most famous theme, and not only it doubled as a symbol of La Résistance but as his biggest token of love for Helene as they became StarCrossedLovers. Jeudi singing it to prove her identity to Helene totally undid all of Toulonchamp's plans in regards to the Durants, and before that it was one of Jeudi's few memories about her own past as well.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Leonhardt Aschenbach is a male Type A.

----* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: The hitman Tarantula almost shoots the Count to death when he reveals his plans of building his ideal nation and asks him to kill General Guisan.]]

''Alpen Rose'' (炎のアルペンローゼ・ジュディ＆ランディ, ''Honoo no Arupen Rōze'' a.k.a. ''Blazing Alpen Rose'') is a shōjo manga series created by Creator/MichiyoAkaishi. It ran in Shogakukan's ''Ciao'' from 1983 to 1986, later was gathered in nine short volumes, and then it was re-released during TheNineties in four volumes. It's actually the only of Akaishi's mangas made into an anime, which was done in TheEighties by none other than Creator/TatsunokoProduction - yes, [[Anime/SpeedRacer THAT]] [[Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman Tatsunoko]] - and reached quite the success in Europe and some Arabic countries despite flopping in Japan; it has music by Music/JoeHisaishi and designs by Akemi Takada of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' and ''Manga/KimagureOrangeRoad'' fame. The 20 episodes of the TV series would later be recopilated and mixed into two movies.

The main characters are two teenagers named Lundi and Jeudi. Lundi Cortot is a boy who lives in UsefulNotes/{{Switzerland}} with his aunt and uncle in 1932, few years before UsefulNotes/WorldWarII; in these days, he and his family find a little girl in a dandelion plain, and they take her in alongside her cockatoo Printemps. Since she can't remember anything about her past, they rename her Jeudi and raise her for a while until she's taken in by a nearby store (manga) or a nursery school (anime).

Fast forward to 1939, few after the Austrian Anschluss and a little before Switzerland declares its neutrality. Lundi and Jeudi are already teenagers, but Jeudi is still amnesiac; her only clue about her identity is a song that repeats itself in her memories, whose name is apparently ''Alpen Rose''. And then, a strange man named Count Germont appears and attempts to kidnap Jeudi! When she refuses to become his mistress and is pretty much locked in the castle as a maid, Lundi rescues her and they run away from home, setting out in a journey to find the answers to all of their questions, as well as falling in love in the process...


----

* AdaptedOut: [[spoiler: Toulonchamp's eldest daughter Madeleine]] didn't appear in the anime.
* AmnesiacHero: Jeudi, also a ProtagonistWithoutAPast.
* ArrangedMarriage: Liesl and Johan. [[spoiler: Also, Count Germont and Helene Durant. As a reply, [[RunawayBride Helen]] ran off and married Friederich.]]
* AttemptedRape: Implied in the beginning of the manga. It wasn't the Count, actually, but the abusive new owner of the store Jeudi works in. She manages to run away and go to Lundi's home but his aunt and uncle don't take it seriously, so Lundi gives them a WhatTheHellHero.
* BodyDouble: [[spoiler: After Helene is brought back to the Durant clan manse, a girl named Mathilda is taken in to pose as Alicia/Jeudi. It works mostly because Helene is pretty much blind as a consequence of her accident, and Matilda has exactly the same voice as Jeudi.]]

* BreakTheCutie: Oh boy.
* BridalCarry: In Berne, Jeudi is using new shoes. They hurt her feet, so Lundi carries her like this.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler: Jean Jacques/Tarantula and Lundi.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: A limousine almost runs Jeudi and little Clara over, but they're safe in the end. [[spoiler: Its owner and passenger is actually [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Guisan General Henri Guisan]], who protects Lundi and Jeudi since he knew a woman whom he thinks she can be Jeudi's MissingMom. (And she ''is'', in the end.) Not to mention there's the role he'll have later...]]
* ChekhovsGun: The song ''Alpine Rose''. [[spoiler: It's one of Jeudi's few memories of her past life.]]
** Even more: [[spoiler: it's a song to honor LaResistance, since both Leonhardt's and Jeudi's parents were supporters of it and went against ThoseWackyNazis.]] And also [[spoiler: it allows Jeudi to tell her mother Helene that she's her child, via singing it when she's about to be taken away from the Durant mansion.]]
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: The two leads get together very fast. Their problem is actually ''staying'' together, considering [[FromBadToWorse what happens later]]...

* CrazyJealousGuy: The Count, to Jeudi. Johan, to Liesl - though he gets better almost immediately.

** Played straighter in the OP of the anime, where she dances with both the Count AND Lundi.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: The hitman Tarantula almost shoots the Count to death when he reveals his plans of building his ideal nation and asks him to kill General Guisan.]]
-->[[spoiler: Tarantula]]: The [[spoiler: Germont]] I knew has just died to me right now!

* GratuitousFrench: It's in the lead characters' names, as both of the protagonists are named after days of the week in French: "Lundi" is Monday and "Jeudi" is Thursday. The bird, Printemps, means "spring" (as in the season) in French.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Hans. Having repented after selling Lundi and Jeudi out, he tried to prevent the Count from getting to them ''and'' give them some info that he had just picked up... only to get shot InTheBack by the Count himself.]]
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Guisan General Henri Guisan]]

* TheOjou: Liesl, who's a little childish and selfish but has a good heart underneath.

* ParentalAbandonment: Jeudi's parents died in the accident that left her amnesiac. [[spoiler: They actually didn't. Leon's parents, however, ''were'' killed by the Nazi.]]
* PluckyGirl: Jeudi already was both sweet and outspoken, but fully starts to become this [[spoiler: as she and Lundi are separated.]]
* PromotionToParent: Hans, who has to take care of his baby sister Clara
* ProperLady: Francoise, the Count's wife. She still goes "ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight" and helps Jeudi and Lundi to escape the castle.
* RefugeInAudacity: Invoked when [[spoiler: Leon uses his own "Nazi concert" to get away from ThoseWackyNazis with Jeudi AND give them the musical finger via inserting ''an anti-Nazi song'' in his "Austrian symphony".]] [[Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic The Von Trapp family would be proud of you, son.]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Some sources, including Anime News Network, translate the protagonists' names as Randy and Judy.
* StalkerWithACrush: Count Germont, who wants to have Jeudi because she looks a LOT like a woman he loved in the past. [[spoiler: Said woman? Her mother Helene, who rejected to get in an ArrangedMarriage to him.]]

** Not to mention, [[spoiler: Jeudi's parents Friederich and Helene. Friederich explains to Leon and Jeundi that he was already disliked by the Durant family by the time they got married since she was an UptownGirl, and after she was wounded in their escape they took her back in but kept them separated.]]
* SweetPollyOliver: [[spoiler:In the manga Jeudi has to crossdress to go to Austria unnoticed, calling herself Julian.

* ThoseWackyNazis: They're pretty much in movement by the time the story begins.

[[spoiler: She gradually recovers her memories, and it's a HUGE TearJerker when she finally can remember the accident, that her name is Alicia Brandel, and the sight of her mother Helena covered in blood.]]
** Also, [[spoiler: Mathilda ''claims'' to have this to cover up that she isn't the real Jeudi and therefore doesn't know the lyrics to the ''Alpine Rose'' song.]]

'''''Alpen Rose''''' (炎のアルペンローゼ・ジュディ＆ランディ, '''''Honoo no Arupen Rōze''''' a.k.a. '''''Blazing Alpen Rose''''') is a shōjo manga series created by MichiyoAkaishi. It ran in Shogakukan's ''Ciao'' from 1983 to 1986, later was gathered in nine short volumes, and then it was re-released during TheNineties in four volumes. It's actually the only of Akaishi's mangas made into an anime, which was done in TheEighties and reached quite the success in Europe and some Arabic countries; it has music by JoeHisaishi and designs by Akemi Takada. The 20 episodes of the TV series would later be recopilated and mixed into two movies.

* IllGirl: Clara [[spoiler: and Marie.]] And also [[spoiler: Helene aka Jeudi's mom, who has a weak heart ''and'' eyesight problems.]] The latter is subverted: [[spoiler: she's being slooooly poisoned.]]

* ArrangedMarriage: Liesl and Johan

* ParentalAbandonment: Jeudi's parents died in the accident that left her amnesiac. [[spoiler: They actually didn't. Leon's parents, however, ''were'' killed by the Nazi.]]

* SnowMeansDeath: In the manga, [[spoiler: Toulonchamp's goons dump the injured Jeudi in the middle of a snowy and abandoned place, hoping she will freeze to death since she can't walk away due to her injured foot. She does her best but ultimately gets lost ''and'' then a snowstorm rages in, Lundi, however, manages to find her right on time.]]

* SpannerInTheWorks: Both Jeudi and [[spoiler: her mother Helene]] were this. The first, [[spoiler: via appearing in the Durant mansion and thus throwing a wrench in Toulonchamp's plans, which involved him having his own daughter Mathilda as his spy as well as Jeudi's BodyDouble; it goes double when she starts singing the Alpine Rose song when she's being taken away, letting Helene know the truth.]] The second, via [[spoiler: crawling towards Toulonchamp in the middle od his HostageSituation, and holding on his leg while he's holding Jeudi at knife point, distracting him enough to let Lundi pounce on him and setting Jeudi free.]]
** However, [[spoiler: Jeudi's dad/Helene's lover Friederich Brandel]] was the biggest one. [[spoiler: The aforementioned Alpine Rose song? It was his most famous theme, and not only it doubled as a symbol of La Résistance but as his biggest token of love for Helene as they became StarCrossedLovers. Jeudi singing it to prove her identity to Helene totally undid all of Touloncham's plans in regards to the Durants, and before that it was one of Jeudi's few memories about her own past as well.]]
