History Manga / ShirokuroKitan

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The author mentions in an omake that the story and characters were drastically different from the current story presented. For example, Shirou was formerly an [[{{Keet}} energetic character]] while Kurokichi was the [[TroubledButCute distant one]], and they were "good friends." Ririko was going to have one pigtail instead of two, and she would have been [[ActionGirl more of a fighter]].

* TheStoic: Shirou.

Ririko notices that something is wrong when her new friends Maya Sonomachi and Murasaki Miba avoid talking about the black clock tower found in town whenever she tries to bring it up, and things don't look so good when she learns what her card is when she gets attacked by one herself. Her indifferent and haughty classmate [[TheStoic Shirou]] [[WhiteHairedPrettyBoy Otori]] appears and uses a card of his own--called a "Malice"--to defeat it. As Ririko attempts to learn about Malice, the residents of the clock tower called "Toy Soldiers," and how this might relate to her father's death, she encounters a student who has secrets of his own: [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Kurokichi]] [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Kagenui]].
