6	----
7	!!Tropes found in ''Tail Star'':
8	* ACupAngst: On the Black Queen but it is not played for laughs at all. Its part of why she resents her counterpart so much.
9	* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler: Aside from the Elder, Sanagi, Mayu, and about a dozen others (mostly children), everyone in Ageha Village is graphically murdered about two chapters after we meet them.]]
10	%%* AttackItsWeakPoint: The tail serves as this for the King Tails.
11	* AttackTheTail: Shooting Stars have giant tails growing from the back of their heads that serve both as weapons and weak points.
12	* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: [[spoiler:Overuse of the Queens’ powers will slowly destroy the world as long as a White Queen is not there to nullify the Black Queen.]]
13	%%* BigBad: [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen The Black Queen.]]
14	* TheCaligula: The ''only'' reason anyone listens to an immortal PsychopathicManchild is because she has PhysicalGod tail powers as strong as her insanity. Out of her paranoid fear of a new White Queen, the Black Queen ordered ''every'' baby to be brought to the capital for inspection. When one country refused, she promptly caused a FalseFlagOperation to seal the continent and ''crush it herself''.
15	%%* ChessMotif: There's also a White Queen.
16	* AChildShallLeadThem: Sanagi [[spoiler: the only living tail-hunter]] and Mayu [[spoiler: the future White Queen]].
17	%%* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The Queens.
18	* CombatTentacles: The King Tails have a tail attached to their heads that can be used like an EpicFlail or a whip. The tails are extremely hard to cut and [[spoiler: can cause a mental breakdown if severed. ONE Star soldier killed almost everyone in Ageha, and all the tail-hunters, and it's implied he wasn't even that high a ranker]].
19	%%* CrapsackWorld
20	* DarkIsEvil: The unambiguously evil Black Queen is a completely black spider-woman hybrid.
21	* DownerBeginning: The story begins with the White Queen's death.
22	%%* DrivenByEnvy: The Black Queen.
23	* {{Dystopia}}: [[spoiler: After the surviving citizens of Ageha escape]], the Black Queen causes an eternal winter.
24	* ElevatorActionSequence: The Black Queen's followers enclose a large area around Ageha within a giant wall to make sure no survivors escape, but the normal people living there are given a single elevator to take to the outside. You do the math.
25	%%* ElevatorEscape: See ElevatorActionSequence.
26	* EliteMooks:
27	** There are twenty-four ranks of Shooting Star warriors working for the Black Queen, with the Comets being the highest ranking.
28	** The 34 King Tail Hunters of Ageha are legendary masters able to fight on even footing with the shooting stars.
29	* TheEmpire: Originally there were two kingdoms of light and dark. However after the White Queens demise the kingdom of light surrendered and were either destroyed or incorporated into the dark kingdom forming the current empire.
30	%%* InTheHood: All of the Tail Hunters.
31	* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Sanagi parents are just about to do this but then they are saved.
32	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When the group meets Meganeshu again, they are just about to attack him... but luckily they decide against it, even if it means to let the man who killed almost everyone in the village alive.
33	* MaskPower[=/=]TheFaceless: The Elder. [[spoiler: Until recently. It's implied the other survivors had no idea what she looked like.]] The Black Queen also wears some sort of mask.
34	* MeaningfulName: Ageha means butterfly; [[spoiler:future White Queen]] Mayu means cocoon.
35	** [[http://www.mangainn.com/manga/chapter/96071_the-queen-s-justice/page_20 All the King Tails are named after comets and astronomers.]]
36	%%* TheMole: [[spoiler:Imperial fighter Yaeha, who's also deceased tail-hunter Sam's sister.]]
37	* MonsterThreatExpiration: After the Time Skip, both Sanagi and Torinos are seen handling tails quite easily. Justified since they went through a training from hell.
38	* MoodWhiplash: The art is incredibly cute and then [[spoiler: Ageha Village is slaughtered.]]
39	%%* NighInvulnerability: All of the comets are this, even if you harm their tails.
40	%%* NippleAndDimed: Completely averted with Mayu.
41	%%* NoNonsenseNemesis: ALL of the bad guys. Luckily the heroes are very tough.
42	%%* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Sanagi concludes this after the first Black Queen attack.
43	%%* TheOrder: The Tail Hunters, and especially the King Tail Hunters. They are pretty much lost.
44	%%* PersonOfMassDestruction: The King Tails.
45	* PretextForWar: The Black Queen kills one of her own soldiers with an Ageha weapon and uses the body as an excuse to wipe the whole kingdom off.
46	* SigilSpam: The Ageha (Butterfly) motif. [[spoiler: The villagers ditch everything butterfly-related so they can hide among other refugees.]]
47	%%* ThisMeansWar: The Dark Queen. Its an excuse to prevent the White Queen from being reborn.
48	* ThoseWereOnlyTheirScouts: After Sanagi manages to defeat Meganeshu, he´s told that he is just a normal shooting star solider... A simple pawn.
49	* TimeSkip: Chapter seventeen takes place after a five-year time skip.
50	%%* TrainingFromHell: What Fuji inflicts on all the Ageha children.
51	%%* UltimateJobSecurity : [[spoiler:Averted, as the Black Queen will order your death if you overstep your position.]]
52	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The Black Queen. While she is ruthless, her kingdom seems to have no troubles and her servants do love her.
53	* WhipSword: Yaeha keeps a whip-like katana(s) up her very tight sleeve.
54	%%* WorldOfBadass: Pretty much.
55	%%* YouHaveFailedMe: Do not presume to know what the Black Queen thinks!
