History YMMV / Murcielago

* EvilIsCool: Cobalt Conrad. He's a total MagnificentBastard who manages to weaponize PHYSICS itself, and never loses his calm. It doesn't help that he has an AwesomeMcCoolName.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Once you get past the loads of FanService and cool action moves, you remember that Koumori is a psychopathic murderer on death row, with a higher body count than every single other murderer introduced so far ''combined''. She has no [[TheAtoner wish to atone]], does not believe in serving some noble goal, and [[AxeCrazy gleefully causes needless collateral damage and kills bystanders without a thought]]. The only reason she works with the police is because she gets to kill more people and is provided a stay of execution. [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking And she constantly tries to cheat on her girlfriend]]. It makes it difficult to really root for her, almost crossing into RootingForTheEmpire territory when the reader hopes one of her fights will end with her losing. The cops are shown to be at least decent people, and reluctant to work with her, but see it as a necessity and are largely powerless to do anything.

* CrazyAwesome: Hinako. How else would you describe a person who somehow manages to get a car on top of a skyscraper undetected, then {{roof hop|ping}}s down ''with said car'' to catch up with her partner--simply because the streets were too narrow to drive normally?

* SpiritualAdaptation: ''Murcielago'' is essentially the closest thing we'll ever get to a ''Videogame/KillerIsDead'' manga. It's hard to tell exactly which one came first, but given how both follow womanizing ProfessionalKillers with dubious mental health working for the government with a wacky, high-school aged partner, the comparisons aren't unwarranted.

The only reason she works with the police is because she gets to kill more people and is provided a stay of execution. An absolute horrible human being, and aside from the police, absolutely nobody seems to realize this or address it.
