History Manga / ShinigamiSamaNiSaigoNoOnegaiWo

A relatively new manga which started in 2009. Shizuka Aida is a young teenager who is three days away from being executed for cruelly murdering his family, when a Shinigami comes to visit him. Turns out the Shinigami who appeared before him happens to be his little sister, Hibiki, and she has come to ensure that she takes his soul to hell, personally. She has another job on this trip as well, and that is to grant the final wish of a girl with heart disease, and she drags her condemned brother along with her.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Hibiki has this when in Shinigami uniform.

* ZeroApprovalGambit / HeroWithBadPublicity: To the public at large, Shizuka is an infamous mass murderer known as "Boy A", a reputation that he will often play up whenever he pulls one of his gambits. A good example is [[http://mangafox.me/manga/shinigamisama_ni_saigo_no_onegai_o/v01/c004/48.html the way]] [[http://mangafox.me/manga/shinigamisama_ni_saigo_no_onegai_o/v01/c004/49.html he dealt]] with two girls who wanted to kill each other.

* NoEnding: A particularly nasty case. After 18 chapters, some of which were just mysteries to occupy the chapters, [[spoiler: Shizuka is kidnapped by the seeming true culprit behind his family's murder and hauled off.]] [[CliffHanger And then the series ended with a final relationship chart of the cast to 'let the readers figure it out.']]

* {{Shinigami}}: Hibiki becomes one after her death [[as does Shiroha]].

* {{Shinigami}}: Hibiki becomes one of them, after her death.
** A few others have also appeared, namely Luka, Ume, Yoshino and Satsuki.

* TokenMiniMoe: Satsuki, one of the higher-ranking Shinigami.

* WholesomeCrossdresser/DisguisedInDrag: [[spoiler:In chapter eleven, Shizuka, looks way too much like a girl, even under the influence of the power of Yoshino, whose ability is to change the outer appearance of a human. Not only that, but he very convincingly behaves like one throughout the date. Hibiki commented that he looked a lot like their mother.]]

Not only that, but he very convincingly behaves like one throughout the date. Hibiki commented that he looked a lot like their mother.]]

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Shizuka originally had black hair, but it turned white after [[spoiler: his revival from his initial death at the hands of Asami Arisawa.]]

Not only that, but he very convincingly behaves like one throughout the date. Hibiki commented that he looked a lot like their mother.]]

** FanDisservice: Also a fair amount, which should be expected considering death is a very present factor. [[spoiler:Like when Shizuka gets treated after being shot; although nearly nude in a female illusion as a likely-deliberate move on the author, s/he's also bloodied as all hell and suffering from a severe gunshot wound and obviously in severe pain.]]

** FanDisservice: Also a fair amount, which should be expected considering death is a very present factor. [[spoiler:Like when Shizuka gets treated after being shot; nearly nude in his female transformation, bloodied as all hell and suffering from a severe gunshot wound.]]

* Fanservice: Started out as mainly omake jokes, but increased as the chapters went on rather noticeably...
** FanDisservice: Also a fair amount. [spoiler:Like when Shizuka gets treated after being shot; nearly nude in his female transformation, bloodied as all hell and suffering from a severe gunshot wound.]

* DeadLittleSister: Hibiki, who at the very beginning is certain Shizuka was the one who murdered their family. Later evidence suggests that even he himself is unsure if he did commit the murder.

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: [[spoiler:Shizuka, after his revival from his initial death at the hands of Asami Arisawa. He originally had black hair.]]

* AxCrazy -- Asami Arisawa, who is the first client we get to see. She ended up killing seven people with a cleaver before Hibiki cancelled her wish, because she wanted to feel the thrill of the hunt.

* BewareTheNiceOnes -- Don't mess with [[strike:Boy A]] Shizuka and get him mad. ''Don't''.
* BigBrotherAttraction -- [[spoiler:Hibiki shows signs of being a Type 2. Her colleagues get suspicious after she gets really possessive of Shizuka, not letting any of them stay in the same room as he does. Luka even asks if she is a brocon, which she flatly denies (albeit with a rather flustered reaction). Further hints of this show up in chapter eleven, where she is shown to be visibly jealous at Shizuka having a rather happy time without her.]]
* BreakTheCutie -- Happened with Hibiki. Initially somewhat averted by the fact that Shizuka was not yet dead, but later played straight when [[spoiler:Shizuka is killed right in front of her eyes. He was later revived (albeit illegally, in Shinigami law) by Hibiki.]]
* CuteAndPsycho -- Again, Asami Arisawa. See AxCrazy above.
* DeadLittleSister -- Hibiki, who at the very beginning is certain Shizuka was the one who murdered their family. Later evidence suggests that even he himself is unsure if he did commit the murder.
* DistinguishingMark -- Shinigami are identified from normal humans by a strange symbol that is found just under their right eye.
* EyesAlwaysShut -- Shizuka rarely ever opens his eyes, and most of the panels he's appeared in shows him with both his eyes shut. He does occasionally opened just one eye, but the overall air about him when he has both eyes closed is that he is a rather spacy individual. However, he has shown analytical skill that betrays his nonchalant appearance. When he has both eyes open though, beware.
* GroinAttack -- Satsuki gives one to Shizuka in chapter three.
* GuileHero -- Shizuka
* InformedAttractiveness -- Hibiki has been described as having a beautiful figure by some characters, but with the art style used in this manga, she's not really a stand-out.
* MeaningfulName -- Hibiki means "sound", and
means "silence". It spills into their personalities as well, as Hibiki tends to be the rash, reckless one who charges in head-on into problems, while Shizuka is the cool, calm and meticulous one who plans out everything carefully, even having back-up schemes should an earlier plan fail.
* OffWithHisHead -- How [[spoiler:Shizuka]] was killed.
* {{Shinigami}} -- Hibiki becomes one of them, after her death.

* SiblingYinYang -- Shizuka and Hibiki couldn't be more different.
* TokenMiniMoe -- Satsuki, one of the higher-ranking Shinigami.
* {{Tsundere}} -- Hibiki, towards her brother. Lampshaded in the omake at the beginning of chapter two.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy -- [[spoiler:Shizuka, after his revival from his initial death at the hands of Asami Arisawa. He originally had black hair.]]
* [[spoiler:WholesomeCrossdresser]] -- [[spoiler:In chapter eleven, Shizuka, looks way too much like a girl, even under the influence of the power of Yoshino, whose ability is to change the outer appearance of a human. Not only that, but he very convincingly behaves like one throughout the date. Hibiki commented that he looked a lot like their mother.]]
* ZettaiRyouiki -- Hibiki has this when in Shinigami uniform.

* BigBrotherComplex -- [[spoiler:Hibiki shows signs of being a Type 2.
