Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })James Block, a young successful athlete, has the hots for Susan Ross, a beautiful movie star. Unfortunately, she doesn't want to marry him due to his appearance (read: black skin). In a fit of rage, James runs over a pedestrian while trying to car-chase her. While serving 5 years in prison, he befriends a scientist who tells him about a ray gun which can make someone invisible. Hoping to get rid of his black skin, James manages to find the ray gun but almost kills himself by exposing his body to it. With his body flayed, James is now "half-invisible" and decides to name himself Alabaster. He is now a twisted vigilante who aims to fix the world of what is beautiful.Alabaster is one of Osamu Tezuka's lesser known works. According to a commentary of his, it's due to the fact that it was not well-received and that he disliked working on this manga in general, to the point that it was rarely re-printed. Its story, mostly centered around racism and the rejection of what's outside of the beauty norm, and its violent scenes and characters also make it one of the darkest stories by Tezuka.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Angry Black Man: Alabaster used to be a handsome black man, but racism led to him imprisoned, attempting to look different... turned him into a freak... all while with rage in his heart. | |

Adult Fear | |
| Alabaster (Manga) / int_46118dc5 | comment |
Adult Fear: The things Ami did throughout the manga like killing innocent people and creating rampages around the world will definitely break a mother’s heart like Prosecutor Ozawa’s; especially since the former ran away from home and into Alabaster’s clutches. Alabaster stalking the Ozawa household, regarding the situation with Ami can’t be a good thing... | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Alabaster (Manga) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Not Prosecutor Ozawa or even Ami’s biological mother, but Professor F who used his invention on his own daughter while being pregnant with his granddaughter that time. Unintentionally, he may have ruined the latter’s chance at a normal life and turning her into a criminal for this. | |
