History Manga / BlackRockShooter

* AbusiveParents: The mother in Chapter 6 to Cecil. She took the death of her husband hard.
* AndIMustScream: How Hanako traps the souls inside her illusory high-school.
* BreatherEpisode: Chapter 7 is basically a {{Troperiffic}} RomanticComedy.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The first chapter alone has a little girl brutally impaled by the grotesquely mutated soul of a legendary serial killer.
* DeadAllAlong: Reto and Io. [[spoiler:OK, every Stagnated Soul ever. In fact, scratch that, there's no living people in the setting just yet.]]
* EldritchLocation: The Stagnant Soul's dimension. The one in Chapter 8 is an outright GeniusLoci. A very demented pervert GeniusLoci.
* GoodIsNotNice: The purpose of the Black Shooters is to keep the number of Stagnated Souls in Hazama under control, and nothing else.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Io and Reto, Hanako in the second chapter. Also Dead in Chapter 11]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The name of the organization Rock, Dead, and others work for. In the original Japanese, it is written as "ブラックスター". A logical translation would be "Black Star", as evidenced by a panel from Chapter 9, yet some translation groups, and consequently other sources, use "Black Shooter"
* UnfinishedBusiness: The reason why the Stagnant Souls exist.
* WeHaveReserves: The rulers of Hazama's attitude to Black Shooters.

The PSP video game also received a manga adaptation after its release. But for all intents and purposes, tropes applying to the game in general go to the [[VideoGame/BlackRockShooter Video Game tab]].

* EldritchLocation: The Stagnant Soul's dimension. The one in chapter 8 is an outright GeniusLoci. A very demented pervert GeniusLoci.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Io and Reto, Hanako in the second chapter. Also Dead in chapter 11]].

* OhCrap, ThisCannotBe: Jack's reaction to realizing that he's fighting ''the'' Black Star.

* WhatIsThisFeeling: Rock is somewhat lacking in emotions at the start of the manga. When they start kicking in, so does this trope.

* AbusiveParents: The mother in Ch 6 to Cecil. She took the death of her husband hard.

Not to be confused with ''BlackRockShooterInnocentSouls'': a ''fanmade'' play-by-post roleplay set in the universe of the manga.

There is also a separate published [[{{Yonkoma}} 4koma]] series. Titled ''Black Rock-chan'', it's really just an AffectionateParody of the characters and setting; it stars a PintSizedKid version of B★RS with a full-sized Dead Master ''acting like her mom.''
