Many years ago the Monster Race attacked Earth, only to be stopped by two girls with the power to wield the mysterious power known as Buster Force. Even with many monsters creating a peaceful coexistence with humans following it, this event would be the catalyst for many more villainous powers to rise. The two teamed up with several others able to use the same powers and over time formed the international hero organization, Buster Force.Today mysterious energies keep cropping up in Delta City, turning normal citizens into Heartless, corrupted beings with dangerous abilities. A special task force is formed out of the local Buster Girls, Ingrid Astra “Buster Red”, Eri Kawaguchi “Buster Blue”, Makoto Maeda “Buster Green”, Raine Albion “Buster Violet” and Monica Ambrose “Buster Yellow”, to combat this new threat and its source, the Blackhearts.Buster Girls is a web original story heavily based on magical girl- and tokusatsu-stories that incorporates TF/MC-themes. Aside from the mainline set of chapters it also includes several side chapters, both canon and non-canon, to flesh out its world and characters. It’s being written by ChaosbladeEX and can be found on DeviantArt here or on their Patreon.

And Now for Someone Completely Different: Side Stories and Gaiden chapters are prone to shift the focus to various figures that often don't even have anything to do with the ongoing story simply to flesh out the world. There's also the “Buster Duo” chapters, which revolve around the adventures of the original two Buster Girls.

A Day in the Limelight: The author has written a high amount of side stories and gaiden chapters that focus on other characters existing in the world of Buster Girls. “Gaiden: Villain’s Day Off” focuses entirely on Valentina, as she continues taking over Delta City from the shadows. “Gaiden: The Strongest Busters” is about the current top ten strongest ranked Busters coming together for a party. “Gaiden: Vermilion” tells the backstory of Vermilion Buster. “Gaiden: Angel” focuses on Angel Buster teaming up with other members to fight a Lich Lord. “Movie: Eternal Wonderland” is this for Megumi, Aoi, Yuu, Eclair, Irma and Kuroi, who in the first half of the second part have to use the power of the Eternal Blossoms to free the Buster Girls from the villain’s control.

Whole Episode Flashback: A few actually. Framed as a dream sequence, Chapter 12.5 gives us a glimpse of Riry's time as a general of the Monster army. All of the Buster Duo chapters are flashbacks to the time of the original two Busters, Buster Black and Buster White. Gaiden: Vermilion focuses entirely on Llayn Artesia and shows through multiple flashbacks how she became the woman now known as Vermilion Buster.

comment
Secret-Keeper: Despite the Buster Force members hiding their real identities to protect their loved ones, in an ironic subversion the villains are the first ones to learn their real identities, but (with the exception of Black Ice) rarely act on it. At the end of the “Hollow Eve” arc Eclair figures out the real identities of the Buster Girls. Seems like Monica forgot to inform the others of this, as Ingrid doesn't learn about her knowing till Chapter 36. At the end of the “Heartbreaker” arc Yuu, Catherine and Akira are told the truth. Throughout the “Black Ice” arc most of the heroes’ friends formally learn of their secret. Over its course Ayashi, Megumi, Yoko, Aika, Iris and Elizabeth are added to the list of individuals in the loop.

Color-Coded Characters: The main girls, if you couldn't tell already by their hero names. Especially interesting because it’s also immediately established thatBusters don't have to be named after colors. Ingrid is red, Eri is blue, Makoto is green, Raine is violet, Monica is yellow and Akira is gold. While not having a color name, Saya is usually associated with gray and silver.

Laser-Guided Amnesia: After being turned back people usually don't remember their time as a heartless or the lead up to it. This also applies to the Heartbreakers.

 Buster Girls / int_efacc623
comment
Drama-Preserving Handicap: A villainous example, creating a heartless heavily drains the powers of a Blackheart, which also affects their combat abilities. Those who mastered the Buster Force, as well as people, who already had been turned into one once, also can't be turned into heartless, barring special circumstances. Everytime the girls activate Hyper Buster they have to actively fight its corrupting influence, not allowing them to use its full potential unless they embrace the darkness. Because of this they also can't use Hyper Buster while in an emotionally vulnerable state.
