History Manga / SnowWhiteAndSevenDwarfs

* TheTeam:
** Being TheHero, Takeru is TheLeader, as well as TheHeart. Though no one would look to him for a strategy, he tends to be the one taking charge and whose lead the others follow.
** While Fujimaru could also fit the role, Souichi is TheLancer in the first half of the series, typically being the one fighting alongside Takeru but generally being far more down-to-earth and strategic than him. Eventually, he joins Ken and Souji as TheBigGuy.
** Fujimaru, being the GadgeteerGenius and MrExposition of the group, is the TheSmartGuy. Aside from technical and intelligence support, he's also the group's primary driver/pilot.
** Both Ken and Souji are TheBigGuy, with their main roles being to provide muscle support.
** Akane is TheMedic, being the NonActionGuy who patches up the heroes.

''Snow White and Seven Dwarfs'' (''Shirayukihime to 7-nin no Shuujin'') is a manga by Kuroko Yabuguchi and serialized by [[Magazine/ShonenJump Weekly Young Jump]], though its title can also be read as ''Snow White and the Seven Prisoners''. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic Japan, and is very loosely based off of the original tale of ''Literature/SnowWhite''.

* TeensAreShort: Or rather, adults are ''really tall''. It's probably safe to assume that while teenagers like Takeru and Tama actually are short, the others are average; it's just that any major adult ([[FountainOfYouth Souichi aside]]) is abnormally tall, as [[GentleGiant Akane and Izumi]] are canonly acknowledged as huge and Akane calls [[RapidAging Souji]] [[AffectionateNickname Beanpole-kun]] for a reason, with every other adult being around their height as well.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Essentially, any character who's high up in the chains of commanding will pose more of a threat than their subordinates.

* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: The tekigousha are created by having humans undergo [[BioAugmentation experimentation]], making them [[HumanWeapon Humans Weapons]]. [[spoiler:The Grim Rock, which started the entire thing, is a parasite of sorts connected to meteors from space.]]

* BittersweetEnding: It's easy to overlook with how heartwarming the epilogue is, but [[spoiler:Ken is likely permanently estranged from his father who may become a new threat, Souichi and Souji are still dying, Izumi is still badly injured, Ryuuichi is implied to still have emotional issues, Fujimaru has become an IllBoy, Amagiya is currently insane (admittedly, most don't treat this as being all that different from how the man usually is)]], and altogether, the ex-employees are ReformedButRejected by many. On the other hand, their main obstacle is gone, Tokyo is being reformed/rebuilt, and befitting the theme of the series, everyone is happy/on the path to recovery in spite of all the lingering problems.

** Fujimaru suffers one in [[spoiler:the final battle, becoming a bit of an IllBoy in the epilogue as he apparently has frequent headaches]].

* BandageBabe: It'd probably be easier to list the characters who ''aren't'' one at some point, given how often they get injured and the short span of time that the story covers.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Souji and Souichi, both of whom have blue hair, and Akane, Haruyama, and Tama with pink hair.

* NotSoDifferent: Done subtly, but Takeru is shown to be surprised when he hears that Fujimaru is known for his defiant attitude, having assumed him to be an ExtremeDoormat for the government up until that point.

* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: It ''is'' based off of ''Literature/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', after all.

* {{Kotatsu}}: One illustration at the back of Vol. 4 shows the heroes sitting around/sleeping underneath one.

''Snow White and Seven Dwarfs'' (''Shirayukihime to 7-nin no Shuujin'') is a manga by Kuroko Yabuguchi and serialized by [[Magazine/ShonenJump Weekly Young Jump]], though its title can also be read as ''Snow White and the Seven Prisoners''. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic Japan, and is very loosely based off of the original tale of ''Literature/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''.

Two years ago, Tokyo was supposedly hit by meteors, rendering it an island isolated from the rest of the world, receiving help from only the Governor Kuroyuki. However, their saviour soon revealed herself to be a dictator, and any attempts to defy her now are pointless, as she wields an army of ''tekigousha''--people who possess right arms with mysterious abilities.

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Uzuki, dying with her delusions, and Amagiya, 'dying' in Shirayuki's arms.]]

* HairColorSpoiler: [[spoiler:Shirayuki and Kuroyuki both have PurpleEyes, a fact that is not a coincidence (though it may be easy to overlook, given that Kuroyuki rarely appears in colour pages).]]

-->'''--Takeru Shakudou'''

* YouHave48Hours: A villainous version. Kuroyuki gives her subordinates three days to capture and/or kill the heroes, with three out of five arcs taking place during those three days. [[spoiler:Once they're up, she takes matter into her own hands and bombs Shibuya.]]

* {{Badass}}: ''Everyone''.

* BadassFamily: If a character has a sibling, both that character and his sibling will be a {{Badass}}.

** Notably, with the exception of Souji (who becomes this willingly), this is taken seriously, rather than used purely for RuleOfCool. Both Ken and Souichi believe themselves to be burdens thanks to their physical issues, despite both being quite {{Badass}}. [[spoiler:Until, with Akane's help, Ken recovers and Souichi becomes an EmpoweredBadassNormal.]]

* NeverFoundTheBody: Kuroyuki is DangerouslyGenreSavvy enough to know that since the heroes' corpses weren't found after [[spoiler:she bombed Shibuya]], they aren't dead.
