Webcomic / Fragile

Go To

Fragile is a (usually) twice weekly Slice of Life webcomic created by Shouri (of SPRINGIETTE fame), which launched on 20th September 2011.

Twins Marian and Steph, plus their friends Jess and Karen, are about to start their final year of school. Each has definite life goals apart from Marian, who laments she has no direction in life. Then there's Emily, the new girl in town, with a very fatalistic outlook on life. As their lives entangle, the five embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Not to be confused with the frightening game about abducted little girl with Hidden Depths.


Fragile contains examples of:

  • All Love Is Unrequited: At least in the Steph/Julian/Marian Love Triangle. Steph seems oblivious to Julian's feelings for her, and Julian in turn doesn't seem to be aware of Marian's feelings for him. Averted with Emily and Bruce, who both seem interested in each other.
  • Contrived Coincidence: Emily and Marian being in the same class, after Marian offends Emily by taking her picture without asking and later accidentally burns her hand while serving her drinks at The Freckled Cutie. Not only is this lampshaded by Marian, but it's a somewhat downplayed example as the seniors seem to be divided into only two classes.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: After finding out about Julian's feelings for Steph, a brokenhearted Marian decides to try and hook them up. A particularly painful example for Marian, Steph being her beloved twin sister.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: She's not a Jerkass per se, but Karen did have a point about Jess not taking things about their music seriously at all, which is the main cause of them breaking off.
  • Manipulative Bitch: Emily veers close to this territory, when she encourages Marian to try and find out if Julian likes her while dressed up as Steph, knowing that Julian is actually interested in Steph, in order to hurt Marian.
