Akuma no Riddle, also known as Riddle Story of Devil, is a manga series written by Yun Kouga (creator of Loveless and character designer for Mobile Suit Gundam 00) and illustrated by Sunao Minakata, which was serialized in Newtype from 2012 to 2016. It received an animated adaptation produced by Diomedea on April 3, 2014 as part of the spring 2014 anime season.Myojo Academy is a distinguished integrated campus equipped with a curriculum that ranges from elementary to college and strong connections to a large number of influential people. Despite its reputation, however, few in the public know about Myojo's Class Black, a secret, thirteen-student high school class that accepts enrollment at irregular intervals, formed for purposes aside from education. Namely, a game where twelve killers disguised as students compete to be the first to assassinate a target within the class.Tokaku Azuma, one of Academy 17's elite assassins, is chosen by her instructor, Kaiba, to participate in Class Black upon the request of Myojo Academy's Board Chairman. When she arrives, she meets the target, Haru Ichinose, who has the appearance and disposition of a regular high school girl, but it quickly becomes apparent that Haru is just as far from normal as anyone else in the class when Tokaku learns that she's lived her whole life as a target for assassination. In the process, Tokaku decides to go against the original plan and become Haru's sole protector against the remaining eleven killers of Class Black. | |

Scenery Censor: Lots of it, what with all the bath scenes, but the most creative one is in episode 6, which has a leaf cover Chitaru's behind. A sliding drop of water allows the leaf to bend just as Chitaru settles in the bath. | |

Deadly Game | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_1d91d828 | comment |
Deadly Game: Class Black is an assassination competition. Several hired killers compete with one another to see who can kill the target first while following specific rules: Assassination must be announced first via special notice, and then carried out within forty-eight hours. Failure means expulsion. No one outside the class can be involved in these attempts, including their homeroom teacher Mizorogi. Breaking this rule also means expulsion. The victor gets whatever they wat as a prize. In episode 7, Suzu sets up one of her own with Riddle Me This as her plan to take down Haru. The other assassins (except Isuke) even see this as a nice change of pace. | |

Bury Your Gays: An odd example since it's a manga about lesbian assassins trying to kill one another, but the two characters with most Ship Tease, outside of the main couple, are Chitaru and Hitsugi, and they are the first characters to actually die on screen. Bonus points for being a huge Romeo and Juliet Shout-Out as well. They survive in the anime's ending. They also survive in the manga. | |

Captain Oblivious | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_2ae7bc4b | comment |
Captain Oblivious: Mizorogi is utterly blind to the fact that the vast majority of his students are assassins. He doesn't even realise that Chitaru and Hitsugi both died on stage. Turns out he was right after all, since they survive in both the anime and the manga. He does start to think something is up, but believes it's to do with his teaching rather than his students trying to kill each other. He's easily re-assured by the Chairwoman in the anime. In the manga, Nio straight up tells him to mind his own business and keep doing his job. | |

What Is This Thing You Call "Love"? | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_5028baf2 | comment |
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: An anime advertised as a survival game with lesbian assassins is more like a story about Tokaku discovering what emotions are- she and Haru are irrefutably gay for each other though, so that much was true. | |

School Play: For Myojo's Anniversary Festival, Class Black puts on Romeo and Juliet, with Chitaru as Romeo, Hitsugi as Juliet, and Shiena directing. The anime version of the play has a twist in that the characters playing Romeo and Juliet actually die for real in front of the audience, while masking it as part of the act; the manga has a similar twist where Chitaru kills Hitsugi. In the final chapter, it's shown in a panel that both Chitaru and Hitsugi are alive. | |

The Nose Knows: All assassins have a particular, unpleasant scent about them, according to Tokaku. It's the fact that Haru smells different from them that first hints that she's the target. Some, if not all, of the assassins have the same sense of smell that Tokaku has, since Nio deduces that Tokaku's not the target this way. In the manga, Nio's scent makes Haruki more distrustful of her than the others. | |

Wacky Marriage Proposal: Essentially what Tokaku asks for as her prize for winning Class Black. When asked what she wants by the Director, she boldly declares "I want Haru! Give me Haru!" This is pointed out by Yuri, who says "It's like you're proposing or something." | |

Not Growing Up Sucks: Suzu had to watch everyone she knew grow old and die while she stayed the same age. She also had to watch as her boyfriend got married to someone else and started a family. Her motivation to kill Haru is so that she can grow old and die like a normal person. | |

Riddle Me This: Kaiba regularly sends Tokaku riddles through her phone. He seems to use them to gather some kind of information about Tokaku's development, and claims that Tokaku might be punished if she doesn't answer them. In the dub, Kaiba quotes this word for word. Suzu's assassination attempt is built upon several riddles. | |

Wham Episode: Episode 6. It breaks the assassin-of-the-day pattern of the previous episodes by eliminating three assassins at once, and presents the first instance of Character Death in the series by killing off the two assassins that were put in focus, while making parallels to Romeo and Juliet to emphasize the circumstances. By the end of it all, even Tokaku and Haru were shaken. | |

A-Team Firing | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_964ea66c | comment |
A-Team Firing: When Otoya is charging at her, Tokaku somehow manages to repeatedly shoot the exact same area where Otoya's blades were crossed, causing her to accidentally deflect the bullets. Kouko misses every single shot when she fires her gun at Tokaku. In the manga she also manages to completely miss Haru at point blank range with grenades. That's a special kind of incompetent right there. Isuke misses when she fires at Tokaku, although the first one does graze her cheek. Sumireko's machine gun arm never once hits Tokaku, even at times when it should have been easy to hit her. Nio doesn't hit Tokaku once with her gun. She does however destroy her katana with one of her shots. | |

Foreshadowing: The manga and anime give out many hints with regards to later assassins, such as Nio always wearing full-body outfits, Suzu keeping her body fit and healthy, and Mahiru covering her face during photo shoots. One of the organizations an assassin belongs to, Datura, is named after a flower. Haru has massive surgical scars covering her body from when she got surgery for a titanium rib. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Haru often takes her naivete to ludicrous levels. She's well aware that nearly everyone in the class is out to kill her, yet sees absolutely nothing wrong with trying to befriend said people whilst alone with them. In episode 3, she also doesn't alert Tokaku upon getting the 48 hour notice — as in, the only person who could conceivably protect her. This nearly gets her killed. Taken further in episode 4, where Haru sees one of her phone straps - the ones she gave to her assassin classmates - attached to a book in the hidden library. Her first response is to pull it out, despite already knowing that whoever was behind the active notice was proficient with explosive traps. | |

In Love with the Mark: Deconstructed. The basic premise of the story is Tokaku rejecting her mission and protecting the intended target from eleven other assassins, and there is plenty of chemistry between her and Haru. However, the story also points out the sort of bad judgment someone would have to have for this trope to even get off the ground, as well as the sort of insane skills and luck they would need to survive its implementation | |

Compressed Adaptation: The Anime is only 13 episodes, and so in order to get the whole story a good chunk of the assassins interactions with one another got rushed or was cut entirely in order to focus more on the action. | |

Ring-Ring-CRUNCH! | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_c0336f72 | comment |
Ring-Ring-CRUNCH!: A variant in episode 3. When Otoya is woken up by an alarm clock, she brings her fist up to silence it... only to thoroughly crush Shiena's glasses instead. This was an intentional move and a crucial part of her assassination plan. | |

Evil Gloating | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_c0d598fe | comment |
Evil Gloating: One of the main reasons why Haru and Tokaku are still alive. If Otoya hadn't stayed on the phone with Tokaku to gloat, the latter never would have heard the bullfinch in the background, which helped her put together where she was. If Shinya had just bashed the supply closet door in instead of knocking then Haru wouldn't have known she was on the other side. If Isuke hadn't have taken her time to cut up Haru then she could have killed her before Tokaku could have gotten there. Somewhat justified as Isuke had pushed Tokaku out of a window, so she can be somewhat forgiven for assuming she'd killed her. If Sumireko wasn't so obsessed with proving she was the best then she could have easily killed Haru what with her prosthetic robot limbs and all. Nio decided to spend her supposed last moments taunting Tokaku about seemingly killing Haru. What a piece of trash-suu. | |

Barefoot Suicide: At the end of Nio's ending credits theme, her shoes are shown on top of a building, with sirens screaming in the background. However, it's heavily implied that Nio instead faked her death using her skills with illusion, and that the shoes were left there to support her ruse, thus specifically invoking this trope. | |

Protective Charm | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_e3613529 | comment |
Protective Charm: In both cases, they are more psychological than mystical. Haru claims to have one of these on her to protect her from dying, stemmed from how her family gave their lives to protect her. She says that her family cast a spell on her so that she won't die. Tokaku disagrees, however, calling it a curse Tokaku's Aunt in a way cast one on Tokaku, claiming that her mother is watching her from a shrine, so when she thinks about killing she remembers the shrine and is unable to kill. Tokaku considers it a curse. | |

Unexplained Recovery | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_e5d8460d | comment |
Unexplained Recovery: Three characters (Hitsugi, Haru, and Nio) are "fatally" stabbed in the heart and chest regions, but fully recover with no signs of lasting damage; Chitaru recovers perfectly fine (although slowly) after drinking a whole vial of poison; and Sumireko somehow fully recovers from falling down a 90-floor building, but then again, her body is made of steel. Out of all of them, only Haru's case provides any semblance of explanation: titanium in her ribs. Haru's survival is given no such explanation in the manga's finale. Probably for the best as it was a ridiculous explanation in the first place. That said the chairwoman does state that her medical team is top notch and not to be underestimated. | |

Exotic Eye Designs | |
| Akuma no Riddle (Manga) / int_ff38c97b | comment |
Exotic Eye Designs: The series has two normal eye designs: small pupils with fully-colored irises, and large pupils with only the lower half of the iris colored. Sometimes characters with the latter design temporarily gain the former when they get serious or surprised, but Shinya, Otoya, and Shiena (manga only) gain a variation of the first kind that has two or three segmented rings around the pupil. | |
