3	''[[http://tapastic.com/series/SoulChaser The Soul Chaser]]'' is a gothic, supernatural manga created by Studio Kawaii. Set in Paris, in the 19th Century, a young girl goes missing while playing with her doll at home. An extensive investigation by the police turned up [[NeverFoundTheBody no results]] but the blood stained doll.

5	A short while later, a young woman named [[DistressedDamsel Sophie]] disappears after being given a strange doll by her fiancee, [[TheHero Fabrice]]. Fabrice will [[TheDeterminator do anything]] to get Sophie back, but it seems that he will have to go against what appear to be Supernatural forces.

7	However, Fabrice is not alone. He will be helped by Adriel, the rather enigmatic man who appears to know more than just selling books in his book store; [[TheQuietOne Ruby]], his mysterious helper; and The Master of Ceremonies, an even stranger being who can only be seen in the famous cemetery of Père-Lachaise...

10	!!''The Soul Chaser'' provides the following tropes:
11
12	* ArtEvolution: According WordOfGod the art actually improved as the series went on.
13	* BarbieDollAnatomy: Happens a few times with the female characters...
14	* BathtubScene: See {{Fanservice}} below.
15	* BerserkButton: The Master of Ceremonies is apparently easily pissed off by ignorance... [[spoiler: he nearly kills Fabrice in chapter 6 because of this, proclaiming that HumansAreBastards in his rage.]] Hurting Ruby also puts Adriel in a massive fit of rage.
16	* BigBad: [[spoiler: Lacrymosa]].
17	* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Didn't think that doll would later become so important, huh?]]
18	* CoolShades: Adriel's shades appear to be a rather unique pair.
19	* CrashIntoHello: How Fabrice met Sophie.
20	* DistressedDamsel: Sophie.

28	* ShoutOut: In chapter 16, you can see someone holding ''Norvus Karma'', another manga series on mangagazine.net. And you can see Clause from ''TheMidnightHunters'' purchasing a book. Lampshaded by Fabrice as he wondered why so many weird looking people come to that shop.

30	* TheHero: Fabrice.
31	* TheQuietOne: Who happens to be Ruby.
