History Manga / Coppelion

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: The 1st Division's Leader does this to atone his sins.]]

* XMeetsY: Can be easily described as ''{{VideoGame/STALKER}}'' meets ''YokohamaKaidashiKikou''.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:After seeing the city he ruined is exploited further through illegal nuclear waste disposal, Shiba decided that the only way to atone is to die. But the persistent effort of the Coppelion turn it into BungledSuicide]].

* BadBadActing: Ibara doesn't act or talk like normal humans, and it shows.

* CosyCatastrophe: It's ''not'' exactly cosy-- the main characters are in a rescue mission to pin-point the location of survivors so the military can extract them. The survivors are often found clinging to dear life, in which case the girls administer [[{{VideoGame/Fallout}} RadX]] to them to buy them just a little time before extraction. Aside from this rather bleak mission, post-apocalypse Tokyo is a nice place... if you're immune to radiation.
** [[spoiler:The reason why there are survivors in Tokyo is that a mysterious benefactor has been delivering food to them. However, when the story starts, the delivery has not been appearing for a week, driving the survivors to desperation and unraveling their social structure.]]

Based on the manga by Tomonori Inoue, an anime adaptation by Go Hands was aired for [[Fall2013Anime Fall 2013]] and is simulcasted in English subtitles by [[{{Creator/Animax}} Animax]] for Asia and VizMedia for North America.
