Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In an unspecified future year, long after global warming has inundated the world, a young girl named Maia Mizuki is expecting to get a job at the prestigious Oceans Agency. She's an obvious shoo-in for one of the limited number of positions available, having passed the grueling qualifying exam (which is offered only once a year) with flying colors. But she is inexplicably rejected and within days finds herself not only jobless but homeless, too. An amnesiac orphan whose only living relative, her grandfather, died shortly before, Maia has no one to turn to, and faster than she can comprehend she finds herself stumbling penniless (thanks to a pickpocket) through the seedier side of the city she's lived in all her life. And just when it seems like things can't get worse, a criminal takes her hostage and she is shot by the women chasing him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Maia comes to some hours later on the couch of Nereids ("Neres" in the original Japanese), a troubleshooting agency which is staffed by the women. Manipulated into helping with their case against the criminal and her brother, Maia shows quick wit and ingenuity in the field and soon finds herself offered both a job and a place to live at Nereids. Although her days seem to alternate between boring scut work and life-threatening danger, and her coworkers are often rude and volatile, Maia (to her surprise) starts to find a certain satisfaction in her job — although she is intent on reapplying to the Oceans Agency when the next set of positions open up in a year's time.When a company vacation to tropical Siberia Island seems to awaken memories she had thought forever lost, Maia begins to wonder what secrets her forgotten past holds, and what they may do to her hopes for the future.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Limited Wardrobe: Almost every character who appears in more than one scene. Oddly, minor character Tsukasa seems to have a realistically diverse wardrobe. Even more oddly, the contents of Maia's closet are shown to be extensive and widely varied — but she only ever wears either the Nereids Battle Bikini or a somewhat formal-looking pink-and-white dress — or both at once. | |

Damsel out of Distress | |
| Daphne in the Brilliant Blue / int_2b49eaf | comment |
Damsel out of Distress: At the end of the introductory two-parter, Maia is trapped in a sinking submarine car with two unconscious crooks, while neither Rena or Shizuka can reach her before it would sink below the depth limit for their submersible jet skis. Fortunately, Maia remembered how to reboot the sub car, and managed to pilot it back to the surface — with her hands still tied behind her back. This is not the last time that Maia is able to save herself. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Maia learns the truth about her origins and communicates that to the rest of the world, ending the lies that have put her in danger. She learns that her "grandfather" was actually her long-lost brother, and although that only increases her grief at his death, it allows her to properly deal with that grief and finally begin to heal. | |

Damsel in Distress | |
| Daphne in the Brilliant Blue / int_4160410d | comment |
Damsel in Distress: Maia is kidnapped on numerous occasions, but it's justified on grounds that Rena doesn't give her any combat or weapons training before sending her into dangerous situations. This is because her role for most of the series is basically to be live bait to lure out the bad guys, and Rena simply trusts her team to be able to rescue Maia whenever it's necessary. | |

Unreliable Voiceover: When Gloria tells Maia about an old job with the Nereids, she makes it sound like she heroically stayed behind to cover Rena’s and Shizuka’s escape (much to Maia’s unknowing awe), even as we see that she just ran back to get a single dropped coin and found herself surrounded. | |

Government Conspiracy: Maia is from a city that was sealed off by the other cities by stationing submarines at the gates and shoting anyone coming out. It was because of a plague outbreak they didn't want to spread to other cities. Afterwards they said it merely 'failed to surface'. Maia could reveal the truth if she recovered her memories and this would be 'embarrasing' so they make her life shit. | |

Hostage Video: In the second episode, after Maia gets captured attempting to capture Wong, she's forced to read a video denouncing Nereids and demanding they return Wong's brother Chang — threatening a Fate Worse than Death for Maia if the Nereids refuse (Maia literally faints when she reads the cuecard). Chang also threatens to send the video to the media, since he doesn't trust the Nereids to actually cooperate for Maia's sake. | |

Here We Go Again!: Subverted. In the last minutes of the last episode, we see the Ocean Agency exam held a year after the one that started the series; a girl who appears to be Maia with the same applicant number clocks in with as good a score on the field exercise as Maia had a year previously — but the moment she reports in, we can see it's someone else entirely, and Tsukasa subsequently worries about Maia making the application deadline. Then Maia passes by along with the other Nereids in a ski boat chase; she's chosen to stay. | |

| Daphne in the Brilliant Blue / int_980647af | comment |
Visible Boom Mic: One of the two OVAs is styled as a (poorly-done) promotional video for the Nereids, with a boom mic seen at one point. | |

Siblings in Crime: Wong, Chang, Lee, and May — the Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains Maia and the other Nereids repeatedly encounter — all have the same mother. After Maia's attempt to impersonate Chang in the second episode, they start using the number of the "husband" who parented them as a Trust Password to identify each other. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Daphne in the Brilliant Blue / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Nobody ever seems to notice the extremely skimpy outfits the Nereids wear while on the job. Possibly justified by the fact that the cities all have tropical climates where it's summer all year; skimpy clothing is presumably common (although we never see anyone else in clothes quite that skimpy...). | |

Running Gag: The gang of criminals who are all half-siblings but look nothing like each other. Rena deducting pay off salary for any botches, usually Gloria or Maia. Yu hitting Gloria when in disagreements. Maia hitting or falling on her head. Maia being kidnapped by the Wong-Chang-Lee brothers as bait. Yagi being terrified by Yu's presence. Hanaoka's daughter getting angry at her father. May and the Wong-Chang-Lee brothers taking the submarine back from Nereids who do the same. | |
