History Manga / Freesia

* BodyguardBetrayal: Something very common.

* CowboyCop: Deconstructed. Mizoguchi's behavior in the force is not tolerated, and he's even told that if he's fired or wants to get out of his job, he'll go to jail because of his tendencies.

* ForcedIntoEvil: The Vengeance Act, a lot of persons take this job because they don't have anything else to do, a luck of [[HiredGuns soldiers of fortune]]. However, it's shown that eventually, one can lose their morals, or at least become extremely cynic. Kano becomes more deluded. Yamada becomes more cynic and stoic as a result. And Mizoguchi ends up acting more erratic.

* RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler:Higuchi was raped by Kano friends a few years back.]]

* AxCrazy: Kano starts off relatively normal...[[Spoiler: or at least seems to be. Unlike many examples of this trope he is genuinely and deeply mentally ill, not even knowing what newspapers are.]]

* OffModel: Secondary and not important characters are drawn without too much effort, it's a great giveaway to show who's important and who isn't.

''Freesia'' is a twelve-volume manga series (adapted a live-action movie) drawn by Jiro Matsumoto. Set in an AlternateHistory Japan, rampant crime and dwindling resources due to a war with another nation led the government to passing the ''Vengeance Act'' to keep prisons from overfilling. As a consequence, instead of going to prison, victims of a crime can legally try to kill the perpetrator, or enlist the help of a proxy agency to have their ''enforcers'' do it for them. The target can also enlist the help of ''bodyguards'' to help defend themselves (in the event that the target can't find/afford any, the government provides bodyguards for him).

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:At the end, Kano ends up becoming an entity, making him a living shadow if you desire to call it as such. But not before he ends up killing Tanaka...]] [[TheEndOrIsIt Or Is It]]?

* AxCrazy: Kano starts off relatively normal....

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The war ends, and the Revenge Act ceases to exist, but enforcers are hunted, and pretty much every character, is dead, save for Yamada, who may or may not face trial]]. On the other hand, [[spoiler: Kano's mom is alive, and she'll live in one of the best assylums in Japan]], also, [[spoiler: Kano ends up surviving his LastStand]]

* DecoyProtagonist: Kano is shown as the protagonist in most images, but truth be told, Yamada has more development.

* ExtremeDoormat: Kano, you can see him argue, true, but always serene.

* FreakOut: Tanaka has several over the last act of the story. One of which [[spoiler: ends up killing a woman with a whisky bottle and sets up the last execution of the story.]]
* GreyAndGrayMorality
* {{Hikikomori}}: There's one in the middle of the fifth volume, he's extremely rude and doesn't care about life anymore, all he did was play [[{{Squick}} porn games and being naked]].

* LastKiss: [[spoiler: after Keiko dies, and Kano realizes the one she's seen is a product of his mind, she departs with a kiss]]
* MaritalRapeLicense: Mizoguchi raped his wife several times and it's implied she mis-carriaged several times... It adds to his assholish tendencies.

* MushroomSamba: Mizoguchi has one after his psychiatrist gives him some meds for his mental breakdowns and so he can cope with his life. It... doesn't go too well when they kick in an Execution.

* RealityEnsues: Mizoguchi [[CowboyCop behavior]] is not tolerated, and he's even told that if he's fired or wants to get out of his job, he'll go to jail because of his tendencies.

* {{Cuckold}}: Kano doesn't give a [[IncrediblyLamePun fuck]] about her girlfriend having sex with her lover, it's pretty eerie.
