History Webcomic / MayonakaDensha

* ColdBloodedTorture: Hatsune narrowly avoids this when she's kidnapped by two of the police departments alleged TortureTechnician's who want to know more about Jack the Ripper. They proceed to sexually harass her and threaten her with a Chinese torture method, The Lingering Death, or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_slicing slow slicing]]. The men are interrupted by their higher ups before they can do anything.

* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Tom, due to being completely ObliviousToLove and not at all versed in how to interact with girls. In a scene in Volume 4 where Tom [[ItMakesSenseInContext washes wax off Hatsune's back]] asks her if she's ever been in love, then immediately afterwards tells her that he's not in love with her and the thought of the two of them together is just weird. Right before letting her climb into bed with him because she's scared, wearing not but her underwear.

A HistoricalFantasy webcomic hosted on Website/ComicFury, written and drawn by Himitsu Notebook. ''[[http://mayonakadensha.thecomicseries.com/comics/ Mayonaka Densha]]'' (or ''The Midnight Train'') details the life of Hatsune Rondo, an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent and Literature/SherlockHolmes fangirl who is somewhat disenchanted with her surroundings in modern Japan--mainly due to her vacant, [[ParentalNeglect neglectful mother]]--and dreams of living in a romantic Victorian city. One evening, Hatsune is mysteriously whisked back in time to VictorianLondon of 1888 after missing the last train home and boarding another train that turned up at midnight.

** Speshul Feeechures! Pt. 3 has the Irregulars as the [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya SOS Brigade]]

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Very briefly with Jack in Volume 13 [[spoiler:while thinking about Tom]]. He seems somewhat shocked with himself after the fact.

There, Hatsune has a very brief run-in with UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper only to be saved by a kindhearted orphan named [[ThePollyanna Thomas]] [[WideEyedIdealist Bellman]]. When Hatsune asks Tom for help, he introduces her to his boss, who happens to be none other than Sherlock Holmes himself, who offers Hatsune a temporary position in the Baker Street Irregulars until she finds her way home. Hatsune joins Tom and his two best friends, [[HeManWomanHater Jack Terry]] and [[DeliberatelyCuteChild Morris]] [[OlderThanTheyLook Redwood]], in their quest to take down the many criminals that infest London, along the way going up against and [[HeelFaceTurn eventually befriending]] the rich and haughty [[ClassyCatBurglar Jessica Queen]]. At first, Hatsune's dreams seem to have come true, living in a world she's always imagined with a group of close friends plus some good old fashioned justice on the side, but strange things from Hatsune's past begin to surface, particularly as she begins to fall in love with Tom, murders get more and more gruesome, and her brief encounter with the Ripper just doesn't seem to leave her alone.

* ActionDressRip: Done by Irene Adler during the museum heist when all the lights go down and even referenced by name in the comments.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Hatsune screams to Tom that she loves him from the window of a bank that she is being held hostage in. He doesn't hear her over the shouting crowd.
** [[spoiler:Jack to Tom at the end of Volume 13, complete with rain and everything]].

%%* ArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler:Jessica Queen and Louis Morecambe. Jessica is less than happy about this]].

* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Jack [[spoiler:to Tom in Volume 12]].

* ForcedToWatch: Victor Parton, as punishment for the Irregulars rifling through his things, threatens to rape Hatsune and make Tom watch. [[spoiler: Sherlock shoots him in the shoulder before he can actually carry this plan out]]

* [[SheCleansUpNicely He Cleans Up Nicely]]: Jack in volume 14 is proven to look quite dashing with his hair washed and slicked back and wearing a suit as part of his footman disguise.

%%* InnocentCohabitation

* LoveAtFirstSight: Jessica to Jack. He doesn't reciprocate.

* LoveDodecahedron: Hatsune is very much in love with Tom, whether her love is reciprocated or not [[ObfuscatingStupidity is]] [[MasterOfTheMixedMessage somewhat]] [[ObliviousToLove ambiguous]], Jack seems to have very [[HoYay strong feelings]] towards Tom and hates Hatsune as a result, unfortunate for Jessica as she is in love with Jack. And where Morris fits into all of this, we may never know.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Very strongly implied by their pillow talk that [[spoiler: Sherlock and Irene are actually Tom's parents]]

* [[spoiler: MindRape]]: Only a mild case, but Hatsune [[spoiler: almost looses all sense of identity and passes out just from Jack the Ripper brushing past her]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: And act in Morris's case, he's actually 15 years old.

* SecondLove: More second lust in [[spoiler: Matthieu and Jack's]] case, as their brief fling seems to be entirely physical at this point

* TeamMom: Irene Adler

* UnmovingPlaid: Hatsune's ball gown in Volume 4.

* VictorianLondon

[[caption-width-right:350: The heart of the Irregulars, Hatsune and Tom. TheyFightCrime! Mostly.]]

* TheyFightCrime: The Irregulars. For the most part.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Hatsune telling Tom about [[spoiler: how she was brutally raped by a boy in her class two years ago]] is followed by Hatsune finally admitting her feelings for Tom and the two of them having loving, passionate sex.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]: Hatsune ([[CurtainsMatchTheWindow whose windows match the curtains]]), even though the rest of the cast have normal hair (and eye) colours.

* SpotOfTea: If the characters are drinking anything, more often than not it will be tea. Hatsune and Tom are seen enjoying tea frequently together. In fact, the first thing Tom does for her when she comes back to his house is make her a cup of tea and Hatsune talks about how much she loves tea but was never allowed to have it at home because her mother always hated it, then proceeding to educate Tom on ice tea, which he considers an absolutely absurd concept.
** Following Hatsune's [[HeroicBSOD trauma]] after witnessing [[spoiler: a Ripper murder]], Tom's first order of business is to make tea. That's the British for you.

* AuthorAvatar: Hatsune's one friend Kyoko, who appears very briefly at the beginning, is a huge otaku who loves [[Manga/MagicKaito Kaitou]] [[Manga/DetectiveConan Kid]].
