History Manga / MissKuroitsuFromTheMonsterDevelopmentDepartment

* RecurringExtra: Mizuki is a skittish girl looking for a relaxing job, only to apparently get roped into some sort of {{mook}} temp agency by a woman named Matsuyama, resulting in her working for various villain organizations much to her chagrin. Her role in the story is rather small due to never working for Agastia, and even when she runs into them its only for short moments, but her periodic appearances throughout the story still make her leagues more notable than the minor one-off characters.

* ShipTease: Several scenes between Cannon and Hydra imply they like each other much more than as friends and co-workers, with Hydra exhibiting periodic LuminescentBlush and treating Cannon to things like a home-made bento, while Cannon is very quick to accept her offers and often pushes himself to both protect and impress her. Hydra's sisters notice these subtle romantic implications, and [[ShipperOnDeck try to push the two together]] because it would make her happy.
* ShockAndAwe: As part of his powers, Cannon [[MeaningfulName Thunderbird]] can summon lightning and attack people with it. However, a LogicalWeakness of this is that, due to utilizing low-scale WeatherManipulation to create the lightning, the low-pressure air needed to generate it will eventually re-insulate, leaving him unable to call down more.

* SwordAndFist: Based on his general persona, Blader seems like the kind of hero who can only fight with, well, his blade, but as Adamant, wielder of sword-disabling MagnetismManipulation, found out, Blader also possesses bare-handed techniques for the off-chance that his blade might get compromised.

* SupernaturalFearInducer: Bullhead has MagicalEyes that are capable of inducing sheer terror into whoever looks at them. However, several caveats have been shown about this: he can only affect one mind at a time, so Hydra's sister heads are able to pulverize him easily out of BigSisterInstinct, the two characters shown affected were both easily susceptible to fear, meaning anybody with even moderate courage can shrug it off, and when he himself is fearful he experiences PowerIncontinence.

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: One of the retired villains at Izakaya Azito is a former MadScientist that frequently laments how when he created a monster to finalize his organization's world conquest, he didn't think to program loyalty into its brain, so it revolted against him and his organization, eventually destroying it and putting said scientist out of work (the whole story is obviously the plot of ''Series/KamenRider''). Kuroitsu notes that this is a pretty common problem for monster-making villains, because if they don't think to instill loyalty in them either normally or artificially, they'll likely side with the heroes and bring down their former masters.

* ValentinesDayEpisode: The first half of Episode 6 involves Kuroitsu trying to take advantage of the holiday to create a chocolate-based monster to do battle against Blader. Unfortunately, the eventual battle has to be delayed a year when the chocolate used to create the monster ends up being recalled due to metal being found in it and any plans to remake it would result in it not being complete until after Valentine's Day. Gets especially ironic since, due to an earthquake, the episode itself was delayed to a week after Valentine's day.

* WeHaveReserves: Zet Arc prides itself on its ability to generate absolute swarms of their "Mass Production Monster", where no matter how many are taken down, countless more will keep coming until their ZergRush methods eventually overwhelm any foe, especially rival evil organizations with lesser resources and monster-power. This is particularly monstrous because those reserves are created by enacting UnwillingRoboticisation upon previous forcibly absorbed evil organization's monsters who never had a choice about fighting.
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: After a discussion about how much money it would take to create a {{Kaiju}}, the MDD go on to wonder just where all the various weapons, suits, and mecha the heroes have come from, especially how they can afford to pay for them when Agastia has difficulties generating a decent enough income through hundreds of cover businesses. Lampshaded by Blader himself, who wonders just where his gear even comes from, averted by Magia Rose and Magia Zwart, who have corporate backers that make money on, among other things, merch for the magical girls they support, and subverted by the Beast Warriors of Assassination Squad, who are strapped for funding due to being low-scale in popularity and only have an old abandoned HumongousMecha that can barely function.

* {{Workaholic}}: As a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and effectively the DragonInChief of Agastia, Megistus has made it where he not only can multi-task on four different things at once, he has hundreds of different things set up simultaneously, including keeping track of every product developed by their multiple cover companies for inefficiencies or defects, all to make certain every aspect of Agastia is running as smoothly as possible.

** After nearly losing the Agastia's latest monster, Blader shows off a second form he never used before. Kuroitsu and co. talk about how [[GenreSavvy they really should've expected this to happen based on previous heroes doing it,]] and should prepare for him having even more forms that will eventually end in him getting a HumongousMecha.

* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: The story takes this to the extreme, where most of the villains are AffablyEvil sorts that have [[EvenEvilHasStandards plenty of personal standards]], and even the worst organizations are FauxAffablyEvil jerks that still hold to various standards, while most heroes are of the {{punch clock|Hero}} kind, with some like the MagicalGirl group bordering on NominalHero since Magia Rose is a BloodKnight that wants to kill all villains even if they're barely evil, to the worry of her partner Magia Zwart, who after one particular encounter with Megistus in Episode 8 feels concerned about which of them were the actual "villains" there.

** The Magia group outright have it as part of their slogan that they love money almost more than stopping villains and basically employ ChildSoldiers through their {{Magical Girl}}s that they're willing to even use for infiltration and effectively assassination. Their main fighter in particular, Magia Rose, is a KnightTemplar who sees it as fully justified and righteous to slaughter all villains, even if they aren't evil enough to be worth killing. This is contrasted with Megistus and Agastia, who while needing to fund his organization considers the morale of his underlings and safety of civilians top priority, along with [[EvenEvilHasStandards viewing an organization that uses children for semi-criminal jobs to be horribly deplorable]].

** There's the Magia group, who outright have it as part of their slogan that they love money almost more than stopping villains and basically employ ChildSoldiers through their {{Magical Girl}}s that they're willing to even use for infiltration and effectively assassination. Their main fighter, Magia Rose, is a KnightTemplar who sees it as fully justified and righteous to slaughter all villains, even if they aren't evil enough to be worth killing. This is contrasted with Megistus and Agastia, who while needing to fund his organization considers the morale of his underlings and safety of civilians top priority, along with [[EvenEvilHasStandards viewing an organization that uses children for semi-criminal jobs to be horribly deplorable]].

* HandsomeLech: Long-Range Uncle is a rather suave man who puts on the airs of being a gentleman, mainly an affectation of being the espionage leader and thus needing to be a smooth-talker, but he's utterly despised by every female and several males in Agastia because he frequently engages in sexual harassment, mainly by using his skills as TheParalyzer to make them unable to fight back. WHile he never goes further then PressurePoint stimulation, that's still violating enough that many of his fellow leaders would be very willing to beat him up if it wasn't for his high rank and [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou usefulness]].

* HotSpringsEpisode: Episode 11 has Kuroitsu, Wolf Bete, and most of the execuctives taking part in an employee retreat at a resort town (most likely Kawasaki, given the appearances by the cast of ''[[Manga/TentaiSenshiSunred Astro Fighter Sunred]]''), with Wolf Bete and Skylla, an executive that served as the basis for Wolf Bete's female body, having a moment at the hotel's hot spring being interrupted by members of the town's local sentai group.

** Megistus is normally seen far away from any action, managing the day-to-day of Agastia and supporting the MDD...but every once in a while he's forced into a fight, and
shows hoe he earned his status as TheDragon for Akashic. Notably, he can pretty much toy around with the Magia Duo while they seriously try to kill him.

** After nearly losing the Agastia's latest monster, Blader shows off a second form he never used before. Kuroitsu and co. talk about how [[GenreSavvy they really should've expected this to happen based on previous heroes doing it,]] and should prepare for him having even more forms that will eventually end in him getting a HumongousMecha. Blader himself is just as shocked about him suddenly attaining a new form, with him concerned about what his powers really are and what they're truly capable of.

** Take the Magia group, who outright have it as part of their slogan that they love money almost more than stopping villains and basically employ ChildSoldiers through their {{Magical Girl}}s that they're willing to even use for infiltration and effectively assassination. Their main fighter, Magia Rose, is a KnightTemplar who sees it as fully justified and righteous to slaughter all villains, even if they aren't evil enough to be worth killing. This is contrasted with Megistus and Agastia, who while needing to fund his organization considers the morale of his underlings and safety of civilians top priority, along with [[EvenEvilHasStandards viewing an organization that uses children for semi-criminal jobs to be horribly deplorable]].

** Long-Range Uncle is a HandsomeLech that every female in Agastia wants to strangle.

* CuteMute: Mummy is an adorable BandageBabe who loves idols and wants to be one despite being unable to speak, let alone sing, due to having unerdeveloped vocal cords that only allow her to make wordless noises. Luckily for her, she gains the ability to talk and sing after Camula injects her with some of her pluropotent cells to test her resolve in becoming an idol.

** While terrorizing the world and fighting heroes are in the job description of villainy, Agastia, Megistus most especially, are against anything that will outright harm the general populace, whether it's directly attacking civilians or sending out a monster with even a tinge of WalkingWasteland potential, like Melty's chocolate body being contaminated with potentially dangerous metal flakes. While this could count as PragmaticVillainy given how harming the world population would be problematic for ruling it, they genuinely are too morally upstanding to do such horrific actions even for CombatPragmatism reasons.

*** Forcibly conscripting monsters into fighting against their will, such as with Zet Arc utilizing UnwillingRoboticization, is something that makes Kuroitsu's blood boil.

** Agastia also has an Eviler Counterpart organization in the form of Zet Arc, who [[BadBoss don't give a toss]] about their employees, endanger civilians, and [[UnwillingRoboticization force their monsters into non-negotiable service as brainwashed cyborgs]].

* GagCensor: When Wolf Bete exits his creation capsule naked in Episode 1, his female body's nipples are repeatedly covered by 1 or 2 blatant broadcast censors based on the Agastia logo with the words "Let's Respect Privacy!" around it. TheStinger uses it again for his butt, with it even sliding into frame as the steam vanishes, when his outfit malfunctions and exposes him to Blader, while his breasts get GodivaHair instead.

* GoingCommando: It turns out Wolf Bete doesn't wear a bra because, as he notes, why would he own any, let alone know the first thing about putting one on?

* HandsomeLech: Long-Range Uncle is a rather suave man who puts on the airs of being a gentleman, mainly an affectation of being the espionage leader and thus needing to be a smooth-talker, but he's utterly despised by every female and several males in Agastia because he frequently engages in sexual harassment, mainly by using his skills as TheParalyzer to make them unable to fight back, albeit he never goes further then PressurePoint stimulation, which is still violating enough that if it wasn't for his high ranking leader position and usefulness, plenty of his fellow leaders would be very willing to beat him up.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Kenji starts feeling that his efforts as HenshinHero Blader are turning into those from a bygone era due to how he has to hold a normal job just to make ends meet while only really known by his enemies Agastia, comparing himself negatively to {{Magical Girl}}s Magia Rose and Magia Zwart, who he sees as so capable they can be full-time heroes thanks to sponsorships and hero paychecks. While he does get his drive re-strengthened for unrelated reasons, he's apparently unaware that he's making a genuinely major contribution to the world by fighting Agastia, because he's the only one capable of beating their monsters, as shown when Cannon Thunderbird fought off said magical girls easily while he himself was crushed just as effortlessly by Blader.

* HotSpringsEpisode: Episode 11 has Kuroitsu, Wolf Bete, and most of the exeuctives taking part in an employee retreat at a resort town (most likely Kawasaki, given the appearances by the cast of ''[[Manga/TentaiSenshiSunred Astro Fighter Sunred]]''), with Wolf Bete and Skylla, an executive that served as the basis for Wolf Bete's female body, having a moment at the hotel's hot spring being interrupted by members of the town's local sentai group.

** Megistus is normally seen far away from any action, managing the day-to-day of Agastia and supporting the MDD, but every once in a while he's forced into a fight, and when he does he shows that he earned his status as TheDragon for Akashic, such as being able to pretty much toy around with the Magia Duo despite them seriously trying to kill him.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The tendency of toku stories, especially ''sentai'' types, to have the hero suddenly gain a new power without any explanation gets lampooned in Episode 8 for both sides after Blader shows off a second form he never used before following him nearly losing to the latest monster. Kuroitsu and co. talk about how they really should've expected this to happen based on previous heroes doing it, and should prepare for him having even more forms that will eventually end in him getting a HumongousMecha, while Blader himself is just as shocked about him suddenly attaining a new form, with him concerned about what his powers really are and what they're truly capable of.

* ParentalIncest: Wolf Bete exhibits a one sided crush on Kuroitsu, who is his creator and technically his mother.

* PoisonousPerson: Matsu is ''supposed'' to have the power as Hydra to both {{breath|Weapon}} poison and inject venom from the mouths of her "sisters", but Agastia being underfunded means that even as her MultipleHeadCase expands, they still can't afford to make her poisonous.

* PunchClockHero: Just like villainy, heroism is essentially a job for people, with stuff like sponsorship deals and an income, and as such not all of them are really "heroic", such as the Magia group, who outright have it as part of their slogan that they love money almost more than stopping villains, basically employ ChildSoldiers through their {{Magical Girl}}s that they're willing to even use for infiltration and effectively assassination, and the main fighter Magia Rose is a KnightTemplar who sees it as fully justified and righteous to slaughter all villains even if they aren't evil enough to be worth killing. This is contrasted with Megistus and Agastia, who while needing to fund his organization considers the morale of his underlings and safety of civilians top priority, along with [[EvenEvilHasStandards viewing an organization that uses children for semi-criminal jobs to be horribly deplorable]].

** Despite his fearsome appearance, Chief of Staff Megistus turns out to be a BenevolentBoss who provides for the needs of his underlings, making clear that the MDD shouldn't overwork themselves, providing bonus pay when unreasonable demands from the top brass force crunch time, and giving up his hotel room for Kuroitsu to prevent any issues. However, while he may be understanding towards the needs and woes of Kuroitsu and Co., he still needs to make certain the various jobs of the organization get done, so he makes sure they know that repeated personal failures of similar nature will eventually be viewed as incompetence, and he will invoke YouHaveFailedMe if necessary.

* PointyEars: Camula, for some reason.

* LetsMeetTheMeat: Melty implies at a company party in Episode 7 that one aspect of her Valentines chocolate theme involves having people literally eat parts of her, since she can easily replace whatever is eaten with more chocolate. So she's understandably depressed that her dangerous metal contamination means she's disallowed from feeding herself to anyone until they can replace the bad chocolate with a harmless mix.

''Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department'', or ''Kaijin Kaihatsubu no Kuroitsu-san'' is a {{Parody}} manga of {{Tokusatsu}}, presenting a world where evil societies operate like any other Japanese business, focusing on the struggles and labor of the Monster Development Department of Agastia. It began as a one-shot in 2019 before becoming serialized in 2020 on Flex Comix's ''Comic Meteor'' website, receiving an anime adaptation in the winter of 2022 by up-and-coming studio Quad.

* FantasticRacism: While she does work for the villainous Agastia, the fact Magia's Rose and Zwart attack and try to kill Hydra just because she's exposing her hydra heads, even though she's doing nothing but enjoying a drink at the time, provides subtle implications that there might be some VanHelsingHateCrimes problems in place for the "heroes", especially as they proceed to try and shoot her in the back when she runs away. Episode 7 clarifies on that detail, with Kuroitsu noting that monsters have no rights as people and are treated as pests at best, so there would be no legal repercussions for doing anything bad, up to and including murder, towards a monster.

* PrettyBoy: When Doctor Sadamaki is needed to stop wearing his OneWayVisor, such as for a formal group meeting, it turns out he has incredibly handsome face. Both Kuroitsu and Wolf Bete find it annoying that such an attractive man prefers hiding it with AR glasses.

** Agastia also has an Eviler Counterpart organization in the form of Zet Arc, who [[BadBoss don't give a toss]] about their employees, endanger civilians, and [[UnwillingRobotization force others into service.]]

* EvilCounterpart: Agastia deliberately {{invoke|dTrope}}s this by eventually coming up with the concept for a Black Blader [[spoiler:who's actually Kuroitsu's alter ego while using the experimental "wearable monster" tech]].

* UnwillingRoboticisation: Part of Zet Arc's methods for securing control over both the world and other evil organizations is by forcibly mechanizing captured monsters and making them fight against their will. While Kuroitsu admits she's not one talk about condoning it due to being an evil MadScientist herself, she still [[EvenEvilHasStandards finds it a deplorable method for world conquering]].

* WeHaveReserves: Zet Arc prides itself on its ability to generate absolute swarms of their "Mass Production Monster", where no matter how many are taken down, countless more will keep coming until their ZergRush methods evetually overwhelm any foe, especially rival evil organizations with lesser resources and monster-power. This is particularly monstrous because those reserves are created by enacting UnwillingRoboticisation upon previous forcibly absorbed evil organization's monsters who never had a choice about fighting.

* EvilCounterpart: InvokedTrope, Agastia eventually comes up with a Black Blader [[spoiler: Who is actually Kuroitsu's alter ego while using the experimental "wearable monster" tech.]]

* CouchGag: The opening narration are narrated by different actors each episode, all of whom are tokusatsu veterans.

* MsFanservice: From the moment he's properly introduced, Wolf Bete's curvy female body forced on him by Lady Akashic constantly gets used to provide MaleGaze-type fanservice, whether through {{Stripperiffic}} outfits or ending up naked for one reason or another, and even in the conservative MDD scientist outfit his breasts are quite prominent.

* AntiHero: Jyuyushi, the "Assassin Rangers". They're hitmen who believe evil must be eradicated immediately and at all costs - especially civilian costs. They're intentionally understaffed and underequipped so these ineffective {{SociopathicHero|es}} get taken out by the villains ''very'' quickly.

* DragonInChief: While Akashic is on paper the leader of Agastia due to [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority being the absolute strongest within it]], in practice she's a flighty airhead who often causes problems using her immense strength, so the one who really leads everybody is second-in-command Megistus, with him even reigning in Agastia herself and dealing with any trouble resulting from her whimsical decisions.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: In a mental sense; while Wolf Bete's body appears as a teenage/young adult female, his mind is noted to be like that of a preteen boy.

** After having one in the first episode from Wolf Bete losing his clothes, Blader is once again knocked out via {{Nosebleed}} in the finale when [[spoiler:he's asked to help take off Kuroitsu's Black Blader armor when she is unable to do so herself. There's even some CallBack narration about how he's a 20-something man that still can't handle dealing with women in lewd situations]].

** After having one in the first episode from Wolf Bete losing his clothes, Blader is once again knocked out via {{Nosebleed}} in the finale when [[spoiler:he's asked to help take off Kuroitsu's Black Blader armor when she is unable to do so herself]].

** Lady Akashic herself is a flighty airhead who often caused trouble due to her whims, to the point that her subordinate leave her out of their gatherings to avoid dealing with her.
