History Manhua / TheExplodingGirl

* BoobsOfSteel: Mao is impressively endowed as she is dangerous.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Ping has an extremely unusual natural hair colour, bright flaming red, and Mao seems to naturally have it at that shade also. They seem to be exceptions as the Exploding Girls have more natural hair colours when not transformed.

Such is the concept for the series ''The Exploding Girl'' (Bao Lie Shao Nüalt [爆裂少女]), a Manhua by Shi Tuzi. Essentially what you get when you combine the darkness, gore, and deconstruction of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' with the physically-involved nature of combat in ''Franchise/PrettyCure'', it follows the adventures of our red-haired protagonist, Bao Bu Ping, as he [[GenderBender (she?)]] protects the weak and the innocent from the wrath of the Violencia, and the wicked people they possess.

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of magical girl anime, much like Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica is, though with the combat style of Franchise/PrettyCure. The stresses of needing to keep secret identities, what kinds of atrocities demons would actually compel people to do, and what happens when the ''wrong'' people are given superpowers with which to fight them are all explored and portrayed horrifically and ''gruesomely.''

* AntiVillain: Green wishes to protect small animals from cruel abusers and people wanting to profit off that abuse, going so far as to spend almost all her free time at a rescue shelter for animals, and using her small apartment as a sanctuary for strays. She also ''gleefully'' murders those same people in cold blood, and tries to kill [[spoiler:Ping after he refuses to join her, and now risks revealing her secret identity.]] Similarly, Green relishes in brutalizing her victims long after the Violencia have been driven out, and only the threat of getting caught by police can stop her.

* '''Blue''' - Ping's ally/enemy, and the deuteragonist

* AntiHero: Ping was clearly a delinquent before getting superpowers, but has been shown to use those fighting skills to protect helpless people from bullies. Blue is similarly all for stopping the Violencia and the rogue Exploding Girls, but their methods can be ''ruthlessly'' cold, pragmatic, and even sadistic.

* AttractiveBentGender: While Ping isn't exactly ugly, his female form is VASTLY more attractive. [[spoiler:Blue's two forms are attractive in their own ways.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: The Blue is impressively endowed as she is dangerous.

* {{Fanservice}}: Chapter 6, full stop. There's a shower scene, Ping and Blue stripping out of their clothes, and even a moment of accidental perversion ripped straight out of a classic harem comedy manga.

* LimitedWardrobe: Played straight and subverted, depending on which form Ping is currently in. As a male, he will only ever wear the red jacket, black shirt, jeans, and sneakers that he had on from the very first chapter. As a female, he is ''constantly'', willingly, and ''happily'' changing clothes all of the time, and even explicitly went clothes shopping soon after becoming an Exploding Girl. Same deal for Blue.

* {{Meido}}: Blue has a particularly skilled and devoted one, whose resume includes things such as disguises and misleading police, hacking into and studying mainframes for anomalies and underground dark net video rings, and of course, picking out appropriate outfits for her mistress and bringing guests tea.

* SadisticChoice: Blue forces this on Yellow. [[spoiler:Either she lets an injured cat die, or risk dying herself from the 100 story drop to the pavement.]]
* ShipTease: Constantly between Ping and Blue.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Ping has an extremely unusual natural hair colour, bright flaming red, and Blue seems to naturally have it at that shade also. They seem to be exceptions as the Exploding Girls have more natural hair colours when not transformed.

* '''Mentor''' - Ping's animal mentor and the source of his power.

* BrainBleach: Ping has this reaction upon seeing Mentor's true, humanoid form in a NakedApron, cooking breakfast for him.

** FirstLawOfGenderBending: Subverted. Ping DOES want to remain as a girl, but Mentor is having none of it outside of official Violencia hunting business.

Matters quickly get complicated, however, as our protagonist discovers that being an Exploding Girl in this world is far from a safe, simple, or particularly pleasant job, as rescuing unlucky schoolgirls from bullies quickly escalates to gruesome, bloody murders, and eventually the fate of the whole world. Not helping matters is that far from natural allies, her fellow Exploding Girls can be even more of a danger than the Violencia themselves...

* AntiHero: Ping was clearly a delinquent before getting superpowers, but has been shown to use those fighting skills to protect helpless people from bullies. The blue Exploding Girl is similarly all for stopping the Violencia and the rogue Exploding Girls, but their methods can be ''ruthlessly'' cold, pragmatic, and even sadistic.
* AntiVillain: Exploding Girl #4 wishes to protect small animals from cruel abusers and people wanting to profit off that abuse, going so far as to spend almost all her free time at a rescue shelter for animals, and using her small apartment as a sanctuary for strays. She also ''gleefully'' murders those same people in cold blood, and tries to kill [[spoiler:Ping after he refuses to join her, and now risks revealing her secret identity.]] Similarly, the green Exploding Girl relishes in brutalizing her victims long after the Violencia have been driven out, and only the threat of getting caught by police can stop her.

* AttractiveBentGender: While Ping isn't exactly ugly, his female form is VASTLY more attractive. [[spoiler:The blue Exploding Girl's two forms are attractive in their own ways.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: The blue Exploding Girl is impressively endowed as she is dangerous.
* BrainBleach: Ping has this reaction upon seeing his animal companion's true form in a NakedApron, cooking breakfast for him.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Exploding Girl #4, by way of hearsay from her landlady, and snippets of old newspapers.

* {{Fanservice}}: Chapter 6, full stop. There's a shower scene, Ping and the blue Exploding Girl stripping out of their clothes, and even a moment of accidental perversion ripped straight out of a classic harem comedy manga.

** FirstLawOfGenderBending: Subverted. Ping DOES want to remain as a girl, but his animal companion is having none of it outside of official Violencia hunting business.
** SecondLawOfGenderBending: While initially confused and disturbed by the full-gender change that his superpowers require, Ping quickly Ping quickly and enthusiastically goes on to try female clothes, goes shopping for new ones, and enjoying things like make-up and how much more intense sweets taste.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:Exploding Girl #4 attempts to do this to Ping after he figures out her secret identity, but refuses to join her.]]

* LimitedWardrobe: Played straight and subverted, depending on which form Ping is currently in. As a male, he will only ever wear the red jacket, black shirt, jeans, and sneakers that he had on from the very first chapter. As a female, he is ''constantly'', willingly, and ''happily'' changing clothes all of the time, and even explicitly went clothes shopping soon after becoming an Exploding Girl. Same deal for the blue Exploding Girl.

* {{Meido}}: The blue Exploding Girl has a particularly skilled and devoted one, whose resume includes things such as disguises and misleading police, hacking into and studying mainframes for anomalies and underground dark net video rings, and of course, picking out appropriate outfits for her mistress and bringing guests tea.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Exploding Girl #4 has this moment when she [[spoiler:accidentally kills a dog she thought was being abused by its owner; not helping matters is the dog jumped in to save their master from the killing blow meant for him.]]
* NoNameGiven: Aside from the protagonist, Bao Bu Ping, and a police inspector, Jing Dui, no one from the main cast is ever given a proper name. The most we have for distinguishing them is the colour of their hair, personalities, or numerical designations, like Exploding Girl #4 (yellow). Even then, it took over ''30 chapters'' before we learned Ping's name.
* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: The series is quite fond of absolutely ''ridiculous'' amounts of blood being spilled. The most egregious example is Chapter 8 with the [[spoiler:unfortunate, dismembered and mangled corpse of an Exploding Girl and her companion, the blood pool stretching out over several ''pages.'']]
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Exploding Girl #4's MO. In her mind, animal abusers and those that enjoy animal abuse deserve to be cut apart, crushed, and tortured themselves.

** The [[spoiler:green Exploding Girl was also a male outside of her superpowered form.]]

* SadisticChoice: The blue Exploding Girl forces this on Exploding Girl #4. [[spoiler:Either she lets an injured cat die, or risk dying herself from the 100 story drop to the pavement.]]
* ShipTease: Constantly between Ping and the blue Exploding Girl.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Ping has an extremely unusual natural hair colour, bright flaming red, and the blue Exploding Girl seems to naturally have it at that shade. They seem to be exceptions as the Exploding Girls have more natural hair colours when not transformed.

* CerberusSyndrome: While the opening chapter is by no means a light affair, with the exploitation of a young girl for internet pornography and later an attempted rape, events soon become a LOT darker, gorier, and horrific, beginning with chapter 8.

* JapaneseDelinquents: Ping is heavily implied to have been one before becoming an Exploding Girl, his first appearance being smoking at the back of the school, and obviously having ''plenty'' of experience in street brawls and hand-to-hand combat, particularly useful for his new superpowered vigilante career.

''Alt. Titles: "Bao Lie Shao Nüalt (爆裂少女)" or "Savage Girls"''

One such individual named herself '''The Exploding Girl'''... which is especially ironic when you learn that, when the costume comes off and her MentorMascot unfuses with her, [[GenderBender "she's" actually a "he"]]--Bao Bu Ping, to be specific.

Essentially what you get when you combine the darkness, gore, and deconstruction of Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica with the physically-involved nature of combat in Franchise/PrettyCure, it follows the adventures of our red-haired protagonist, Bao Bu Ping, as he (she?) protects the weak and the innocent from the wrath of the Violencia, and the wicked people they possess.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 8 is ''not'' for those with weak stomachs as it ''vividly'' and lovingly depicts just what exactly happens when an Exploding Girl's superhuman durability fails her, and how thorough a Violencia can get in ending them.

''Alt. Titles: "Bao Lie Shao Nüalt," or "Savage Girls"''

Such is the concept for the series, a Manhua by Shi Tuzi. Essentially what you get when you combine the darkness, gore, and deconstruction of Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica with the physically-involved nature of combat in Franchise/PrettyCure, it follows the adventures of our unnamed, red-haired protagonist as she (he?) protects the weak and the innocent from the wrath of the Violencia, and the wicked people they possess.

* AssholeVictim: Who the rouge Exploding Girls tend to kill rather than simply drive the Violencia out of.

* ClarkesThirdLaw: Seems to be the case for the animal mentors and the Exploding Girl's battle outfits. Ping doesn't feel they're magical, [[spoiler:probably because they seem to be highly advanced technology from the animal mentors. The Violencia also seem to be escaped science experiments.]]

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of magical girl anime, much like Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica is, though with the combat style of Franchise/PrettyCure. The stresses of needing to keep secret identities, what kinds of atrocities demons would actually compel people to do, and what happens when the ''wrong'' people are given superpowers with which to fight them are all explored and portrayed at their most realistic, horrific, and utterly ''gruesome.''
* DemonicPossession: The Violencia's MO is to possess people, drive them towards their worst impulses, and feed off the negative energies.

** SecondLawOfGenderBending: Almost immediately after learning his transformation is to that of a fully female body, Ping quickly and enthusiastically goes trying on female clothes, goes shopping for new ones, and enjoying things like make-up and how much more intense sweets taste. While he ''was'' initially confused and disturbed by the full gender change, he got over it rather quickly.

* HoYay: Ping and the Blue Exploding girl are ''frequently'' teased as a potential couple, from seeing each other naked, going out of their way to protect the other in spite of all reason, and even going on a date once! (Though admittedly, that last one was to bait out a rogue Exploding Girl.) [[spoiler:It helps that whichever form they're in, they're the same gender.]]
