''Crown'' is a {{Shoujo}} manga series written by Shinji Wada and illustrated by You Higuri, which was serialized in ''Princess Gold'' from 2005 to 2008 and compiled into six volumes. The manga was licensed in English by Go!Comi, but only made it to volume 2 before the company's shutdown.

Mahiro, a cute OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, is orphaned by a tragic accident, and some shady types are after her. Mahiro doesn't know it, but her necklace is the crown jewel of Regalia, and Mahiro may be the rightful heir! Luckily, her long-lost brother Ren, now working as a mercenary, returns to take care of her, along with his partner Jake; they both are, of course, just as [[MrFanservice hot]] as they are badass. An over-the-top exercise in shoujo genre cliches, combined with {{shonen|Demographic}}-esque action sequences.

!!This work provides examples of:
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Lady Fibula, oh so much. [[spoiler: When she was younger and a well-intentioned patriot who wanted to become a good queen and her country's prosperity, she was a beautiful woman ; but after her StartOfDarkness, she became ugly and fat; and the more she plunged into evil, the uglier she became]].
* BrokenBird: [[spoiler:Angela]]'s was cruelly betrayed for money by his parents and then by his adopted mother. He came to put his affection in jewels, as he considers they would never betray them, unlike people. [[DefrostingIceQueen But Mahiro and her little gang worm their way to his heart little by little]], and he permanently gets better after [[spoiler:Condor's HeroicSacrifice]].
* BrotherSisterIncest: Ren and Mahiro like each other ''a lot.'' There's a very, very faint suggestion that they like each other "like that."
* ButNotTooForeign: Ren and Mahiro are half-Japanese (through their mother), half-Regalian (through their father).
* CreepyCrossdresser: Promptly experiences a HeelFaceTurn and gets added to the harem.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Bad guys come after Mahiro, get their butts kicked by Ren and Jake, and then hang around and help with the housework.
* DressedInLayers: Ren and Jake apparently wear camouflage gear and bulletproof vests under ''everything.''
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: The [[spoiler:CreepyCrossdresser]] requires payment in gems, since he wishes to cover himself in things as beautiful as he is.
* ForeignFanservice: Ren. Particularly oddly explained: Ren and Mahiro come from an '''Asian''' kingdom where everyone is blonde. Suuuure.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Regalia's current ruler, Lady Phoebula, is ''eeeeevillll''.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Condor has a cross-shaped scar similar to [[Literature/FullMetalPanic Sousuke Sagara]]'s, except it's located right under his left eye. Doesn't help that Condor looks a lot like Sousuke.
* HeManWomanHater: Jake, who, much like Guy of ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'', is ill at ease with cute girls, and literally ''freezes'' when embraced by one. Since Mahiro has a tendency to do this without thinking, HilarityEnsues.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: in volume 3, Condor [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome heroically]] and {{t|earJerker}}ragically dies by TakingTheBullet for Mahiro.]]
* HomoeroticSubtext: Strictly for {{fanservice}}, and {{lampshade|Hanging}}d. ''"Why are we taking a shower together?"''
* LegionOfLostSouls: Ren and Jake are former members of the French Foreign Legion.
* MementoMacGuffin: Mahiro's necklace, the titular "Crown", which also happens to be a MineralMacGuffin.
* NobleFugitive: Mahiro, although she doesn't know it.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Condor, whose real name is Chondrite Bourne. His real name is used from time to time, but he's only mostly referred as Condor.
* OrphansPlotTrinket: Mahiro's necklace, the titular "Crown", is the crown jewel of Regalia (although she doesn't know about this), and of course the evil usurper is after it.
* PatrioticFervor: Lady Fibula's StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler: she actually was a well-intentioned person who wanted her country's prosperity and rise in power in the world above all, but her plans went downhill when the King of Regalia, with whom she was planned to marry with, fell in love with the woman who would become Ren and Mahiro's mother and married her instead]].
* SproutingEars: Mahiro, because she's ''soooo cuuuute.''
* StuffBlowingUp: Far too much for a shoujo series.
* TroubledButCute: The Condor.
* UnwantedHarem: There's Ren and Jake, then they pick up [[spoiler:The Condor]] and [[spoiler:the CreepyCrossdresser]]...
