History Manga / TwoThousandOneNights

* TheGreatPoliticalMessUp: The UsefulNotes/SovietUnion not only existed in the comics but also evolved into Eurasian Union by the time of Night 11.

* AllMenArePerverts: Referenced quite philosophically: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/2001_nights/v05/c000/3.html "The human male -- it would seem -- is never satisfied unless he is busy conquering virginity. Be it women, or planets, it's all the same to men..."]]

* Twincest: The twin sisters in "Lucifer Rising" had mutual ''[[{{Squick}} affections]]'' that comes out of left field and is never explained.

* BrotherSisterIncest: The twin sisters in "Lucifer Rising" had mutual ''[[{{Squick}} affections]]'' that comes out of left field and is never explained.

* TimeDilation

* KissingCousins: Or rather, Kissing ''[[{{Squick}} Twins]]'' It comes out of left field and is never explained.

* DirtyCommies: Eurasian Union in Night 11 and 12 is an {{Expy}} of UsefulNotes/SovietUnion with European Common Council playing as UsefulNotes/{{NATO}} counterpart. While GreyAndGrayMorality is at play, they are portrayed as more bellicose on securing their resources, often by force, and complete disregard for the environment of their colonized planets in their Five-Years Plan-style economic management. [[spoiler: Though they do become ChummyCommies once euphoria inducing spores "infected" both theirs and their European-counterpart colonies]].

* SpacePeople: The New Generation are a new strain of humans who were born in space and skilled in handling space ships but shown to have discomfort in [[BlessedWithSuck staying on planet (gravity, sea smell, etc)]]. [[spoiler: They are also the only people to keep on exploring the galaxy in the final chapter, which they have been collecting DNA from older planet-born generations to prevent rampant mutations due to their limited genepool of their small populace onboard Tachyonian.]]

* StalkerWithATestTube: In many chapter, a group of [[SpacePeople New Generation]] have sexual intercourse with older males and generations to collect genetic materials. [[spoiler: The final chapter also had them attempting to use children, who were clones from 400 years old couple and possibly killed them to get their primeval DNA, which were needed to prevent rampant mutations and genetic extinction due to their isolated and small populace. Though they were spared in exchange for Igor, a partner of the clones' donors' descendents.]]

2001 Nights: A Space Fantasy by Yukinobu Hoshino is a love-letter to the classic hard sci-fi stories of yesteryear, especially the works of Creator/ArthurCClarke. It utilizes the themes and style of Literature/ArabianNights to tell a fantastic history of manned space flight from the dawn of the 21st Century to the twilight of humanity. [[TearJerker Tear jerkers abound.]]

!!'''Tropes:'''

* AbsentAliens: Played with. The reader is clearly shown there are other human-like species in the universe, but none of the characters know this.
** This is also the cause of the BittersweetEnding [[spoiler: where the governments of Earth choose to give up space exploration because no one has found any human-like life outside our planet.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Dr. Cleaver]] has a great one in 'Lucifer Rising.'

* ShoutOut: In addition to the characters named after real and fictional people (see {{Expy}}), the concepts of a planet made of antimatter, a quantum black hole swallowing a planet, trees that serve as organic rockets, and the word "starseed" are all borrowed from stories by LarryNiven.

* MayDecemberRomance: What at first appears to be this in "Elliptical Orbit" turns out to be a [[GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave twin]] [[TimeDilation paradox]].

* KissingCousins: Or rather, Kissing ''[[{{Squick}} Twins]]'' It comes out of left field and is never explained.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Plenty of this.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: And this, too.

* FauxSymbolism: 'Lucifer Rising' is ''FULL'' of it. Scenes are often punctuated with quotations from ParadiseLost.

* TearJerker: If it isn't a CrowningMomentOfAwesome or a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, it's probably this.

* {{Expy}}: KARC 9000, a combination of [[{{ptitleh3elkyxdypyw}} HAL 9000]] and [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Captain Kirk]]. Also expies of real life people, such as Frank C. Borman, who is based on Frank Borman of Apollo 8 fame.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Scientific terms and the like are usually translated properly, but the wording of some lines is awkward, and some jokes are missed. (KARC was ''supposed'' to be [[StarTrek KIRK.]])
