History Manga / Murcielago

* InfantImmortality: {{Averted}} sadly in the "Gap between the sky and I" arc.

* NastyParty: The "Murderer Party" arc features one of these, courtesy of Satori Hyoue.

* BoisterousBruiser: Terumi is a martial artist who regularly fights to the [[DeathMatch death]] in underground tournaments and seems very gung-ho most of the time.

** BilingualBonus: Koumori means bat in Japanese while Murcielago means bat in Spanish.

** Kuroko looks rather a lot like Rip Van Winkle from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}''. Especially when dressed for parties. Though in action she is a lot like Alucard.

Ex-mass murderer turned hitwoman Koumori Kuroko lives in a city overflowing with heinous crimes and violence. Even though she is now a hired assassin by the Japanese police force, she has a record of murdering 715 people in the past since her childhood. Now she partners with Tozakura Hinako, a wild, lighthearted and innocent yet bold girl that drives like an absolute maniac, to destroy other mass murderers that are deemed unstoppable by normal means. And just because she's got a job to do, doesn't mean she can't have a good time with the ladies...

* SingleTargetSexuality: Chiyo denies that she's a lesbian, claiming that Kuroko's a special case.

* AdultChild: Hinako is a high school student, but acts more like a preschooler. Even when people are dying around her she seems to remain blissfully ignorant to everything.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Oh god, if you hurt Hinako you got about thirty seconds to run away, not that that will help, or finish the job. If you don't her other side will appear and you will die...horribly with whatever vehicle she -no- ''it'' finds.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Hinako can somehow go ''RoofHopping'' in her convertible.

* PluckyGirl: Hinako is pretty much unstoppable when she puts her mind to it.

* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: Kuroko has a disquieting habit of cocking her head ninety degrees to one side, much like an owl does. The human neck just ''should not bend that way''.

* AntiHero: Kuroko, either of the [[UnscrupulousHero unscrupulous]] or [[NominalHero nominal]] variety.
** NinetiesAntiHero: Kuroko almost comes off as a parody of these types of characters, personality-wise.
** SociopathicHero[=/=]HeroicComedicSociopath: Kuroko tends to fluctuate between the two.

* AxCrazy: Kuroko in ''spades''.

* BoobsOfSteel: Kuroko has massive breasts (I-cup), and even bigger fighting skills.
* ButchLesbian: Kuroko is definitely more masculine in general, and tends to dress the part, despite her very long dark hair and svelte and buxom figure. She even wears suits for fancy parties.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Kuroko can be more than a little creepy-looking most of the time, bordering on [[LooksLikeCesare looking like Cesare]].

* PsychoLesbian: One of the few instances where the two are probably not interlinked.

* RavenHairIvorySkin: Kuroko, combined with being [[TallDarkAndHandsome very tall]] and [[StatuesqueStunner curvy]].
* RapunzelHair: Kuroko's reaches past her knees, which considering her height means her hair is longer than some women are tall.

* ReallyGetsAround: Kuroko has a laundry-list of sex-friends to call on as is, and is always looking to add more.
* SerialKillerKiller: Kuroko would be on death row, but she's allowed to act on the police's orders to kill other psychopaths.

* SlasherSmile: This is Kuroko's ''default expression''.
* SpiderSense: Kuroko can anticipate death traps and attacks with seemingly perfect accuracy. She even goes so far to claim it's precognition.
* SociopathicHero: Kuroko.

* SequelHook: The Murderer Party arc contains several hooks for future plots, such as [[spoiler:Kuroko promising to encouter Reiko again, the mansion's owner recognizing Miyuki, and Yukari receiving a strange visit at the hospital]].
