Crimson Spell (Manga) | comment |
Prince Vald of the kingdom of Alsvieth must take up a legendary sword in order to defend his people, but the sword is cursed: having taken it up and used it, Vald now transforms into a demon every night if he is not magically restrained. He goes on a journey to find a magician who can break the curse, and meets Halvir Hroptr, a powerful but arrogant mage who agrees to break the curse if Vald escorts him on his travels. So far, so boilerplate Heroic Fantasy, but on Vald's first night with Halvir, Halvir succumbs to curiosity and breaks the magical shackles restraining Vald's curse — and decides that having sex with Vald in his demon form will both restrain the demon and feed his own magical power. The next morning, Vald wakes up refreshed, but with no memory of what happened the night before... except for some reason he can't stop staring at Halvir's mouth...And so their journeys continue, with Vald and Halvir acquiring companions and developing a strange bond as they travel through various fantasylands and encounter demons, dragons, and quarrelsome magicians. Depending on where you're coming from, Crimson Spell is either a fantasy with lots of gay sex scenes or a Boys' Love series with an unusually well-developed plot and setting; it's a genre hybrid that works better than most because it gives equal time to both elements.The manga was serialized in the magazine Chara Selection from 2004 to 2021, and compiled into seven volumes. It's licensed in English by Media Blasters' Kitty Media subsidiary. Tokyopop Germany is releasing it in German.Now has a characters page under construction. | |

Forceful Kiss | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_1036c075 | comment |
Forceful Kiss: Used three times, once successfully and twice...not so much. Havi pushes Vald against a wall and kisses him after a successful Cooldown Hug. He hasn't yet found out what his demon form has been getting up to with Havi, so Vald reacts by shoving him off and shouting at him. One precedes Havi and Vald's make-up sex at the party. After several pages of alternately arguing with Havi, ordering Havi to stay by his side, and crying despite himself, Vald finally opts for this. It works. Rimris forces a kiss on Vald while propositioning him. Given that he's in love with Havi by this point (not to mention that Rimris had him tied down and he'd just escaped an Attempted Rape), Vald is less than receptive. | |

Heroic RRoD: Vald continually pushes himself to this point, much to Havi's distress. He would have died after his rampage in Serasudel if not for Halrein putting him in stasis, and passes out for an indeterminate period of time following his Angst Nuke and battle with Ruruka. Then he almost immediately does it again to get the berries to heal Ruruka, leading to Havi giving him a tundra-level cold shoulder for several days. | |

Two-Person Love Triangle: Between Havi and the demon and human halves of Vald, particularly after Astador makes him into a case of Literal Split Personality. If they aren't actively having sex, the two Valds are either sniping at each other or glaring at Havi and demanding he choose between them. | |

Androcles' Lion: Vald gains the help of a dragon he'd previously offended (see "Our Dragons Are Different" below) by pulling several spears from its side to free it from a poacher's trap, taking serious injuries himself in the process. The dragon is duly grateful, which doesn't stop it from telling Vald off for his lack of self-preservation. | |

Havi's magical Chastity Dagger from the first extra. It fires during Vald's confrontation with Astador, allowing Havi to pinpoint his location and come to help. | |

Generation Xerox: Halvir's teacher Halceles served Vald's ancestor King Fleivangr, who was also cursed by Yug Verund; while there has not been much detail yet on what exactly their relationship was like, Halceles was clearly very fond of him. In Chapter 37, Rimris reveals that he also served King Fleivangr, and implies that they had a sexual relationship. He uses this as an argument to try to persuade Vald to sleep with him, to Vald's great consternation. | |

Violently Protective Boyfriend: Havi will become engulfed with flames of anger when he sees someone has hurt Vald, and Ruruka, while not Vald's lover, becomes incredibly violent when something bad happens to Vald; interestingly, both refer to him as "my Vald." Vald's demon is equally possessive of Halvir, and just as violent and destructive in his defense. | |

Twin Threesome Fantasy: The Lotus-Eater Machine side story ends this way, with Havi plus Vald and demon!Vald in separate bodies. Also happens near the end of the manga, when Astador forces the demon to the fore, allowing him to take over Vald's body and casting Vald's consciousness out and into a spectral form. After Astador disappears, the twin Valds begin bickering over who Halvir likes better. Havi declares that he loves them both and he'll prove it by, well. Loving them both.

Vald, upset over losing control of the curse, curls up in a Troubled Fetal Position against Rimris. The contact prompts Rimris to realize that his dislike of Havi stems from jealousy, leading him to proposition and then try to force himself on Vald. | |

Sex Magic | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_35cae9cc | comment |
Sex Magic: A major component of the worldbuilding, including: The initial premise of the manga. Not only does sleeping with the demon Vald subdue him and help Havi heal him when he's in human form, it supercharges Havi's magic and appears to give him the ability to sense Vald's presence and the use of his power at a distance. It's implied that this would be true of anybody who slept with Vald (and possibly with Havi, as Gile asserts, given his prodigious magical power). In one of the extras, Havi casts a protective spell mid-thrust that will send off a powerful Barrier Warrior attack on anybody besides him who touches Vald. After Vald is initially kidnapped by Astador, Havi uses their simultaneous climax from Glad-to-Be-Alive Sex to disable Astador's connection to Vald and to transport them back to the human world. Rimris also utilizes it, using sex to fuel his prophetic visions. | |

Symbolic Serene Submersion: Havi's brainwashing is visualized this way, with the water pooling around his boots when the demon first attacks, then with him sinking helplessly into the depths after Gile gains full control over him. | |

Vald, several times, often requiring rescue from Havi. Overlaps with Badass in Distress; Vald is a skilled swordsman, but many of their opponents are mages, making Havi the better match. | |

Emotion Eater | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_47fa30cf | comment |
Emotion Eater: A few inanimate variants show up throughout the series. The aphrodisiac plant from one of the first extras feeds on sexual energy. It captures Vald immediately and knocks out Ruruka before demon Vald makes his appearance to Barbarella the situation. The hot spring from "Havi Knows Everything" is a more benign one. It lulls the cast into fantasies and lets them escape once they've enjoyed it enough to make the plants around the spring bloom. Vald finds Rimris trapped in one that amplifies negative emotions. Rimris almost gets swallowed by it while rambling about how insufferable Vald's certainty and impulsiveness is. Once Vald frees him, he apologizes so profusely that Vald almost gets trapped too because he's so preoccupied reassuring Rimris that he needs his self-absorbed attitude checked. | |

When Rimris walks in on it, he wonders if it would be all right for him to laugh. | |

Power Perversion Potential | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_4d070ee3 | comment |
Power Perversion Potential: All over the place, given the prevalence of Sex Magic. Played for Drama when Astador first attempts to kidnap Vald. Using the connection of the curse, he paralyzes Vald and then magically compels him to experience arousal as he's being groped and taunted. Played for fanservice in one of the earlier extras, when Havi uses his expertise to synthesize an aphrodisiac and then temporarily enchants the demon Vald so he can't orgasm unless Havi allows it. | |

Making Love in All the Wrong Places: Vald and Havi have a penchant for this. Partially justified in that, as adventurers, they have limited access to actual beds. But they can find a cave, a half-destroyed shrine, a tomb, and on one memorable occasion, the balcony right outside a crowded party. | |

Crazy Jealous Guy | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_50b9b3d0 | comment |
Crazy Jealous Guy: Havi and Vald, mutually. Each refers to the other as theirs (i.e. "my Vald"/"my Havi") and don't want anyone to touch the other aside from themselves. Havi is the more overt case - see "Berserk Button" - but Vald proves just as bad, only better at keeping it under wraps. It shows most obviously during his demon transformations; during the Personality Swap side story, he threatens to destroy the world if Havi leaves him. Even normal Vald has his moments, as when he cracks a wall with the strength of his grip while watching Havi surrounded by women. | |

Love Father, Love Son: Rimris, having lost King Fleivangr a long time ago, tries to recapture his power through a similar connection with his descendant. It remains one-sided, as Vald is severely turned off by the idea of having a family legacy in his sex life. Havi criticizes Rimris as looking for a Replacement Goldfish, but Rim insists that his feelings for Vald are based in genuine gratitude and admiration for the prince himself, not just displaced memories of the king. | |

Lotus-Eater Machine: In a side story, Vald appears to have returned to his kingdom happily and tells Havi they can stay there together forever. He has no problem admitting his feelings for Havi and wants to spend pretty much all his time having wild sex. Ruruka is unconcerned for his prince and blissfully eats berries and lies in the sun all day. Mars and Halrein are preoccupied with gardening and pay no attention to Havi's conviction that something's up. But Havi being Havi, it takes him three months to get around to seriously investigating what's going on. Good thing for that Year Inside, Hour Outside... | |

Power Incontinence | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_571a3c67 | comment |
Power Incontinence: A problem from the beginning of the manga. At first, Vald's transformations seem to be limited to nighttime, but the more he relies on Yug Verund and the magic its curse offers, the more unpredictable he becomes. It's also complicated by Halvir's influence on the demon. Now that he knows what Halvir can offer, the demon has more than enough reason to assert itself during the daylight hours, especially if Halvir has left him to his own devices for too long. | |

Used in a more traditional way when Astador threatens to rape Vald in front of Rimris just to make Rimris watch Vald suffering at the hands of somebody who looks exactly like him. | |

I Kiss Your Hand: Used to compare and contrast how Havi and Halceles approach their relationships with their respective Alsvieth partners. During his time as a Court Mage, Halceles is shown giving King Fleivangr a traditional kiss on the knuckles, demonstrating his loyalty and deference. When Vald offers his hand, invoking the respectful version, Havi flips it upwards and gives him a more unusual and intimate kiss on the palm. Their positions are also reversed; Halceles kneels before the king, but Vald is lying down with Havi standing over him. | |

My Greatest Failure: Havi stubbornly refuses blame for unleashing the dimension bug on Celeasdile, but he avoids going back until Vald's quest makes it necessary. More tellingly, he doesn't even try another summoning for ten years, demonstrating that - if nothing else - he feels a deep personal guilt over the summoned Head Pet that died protecting him. Halrein mentions that his was failing to save his lord from a severe wound. Like Halvir, it makes him reluctant to use the healing magic he couldn't channel properly before. | |

Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_7480eb67 | comment |
Green-Eyed Epiphany: Downplayed. By the time Havi is kidnapped, Vald has already begun to suspect that there's something not-so-platonic between them, but has mostly denied it. He has a harder time with that after seeing Gile groping and kissing Havi makes him so angry that he starts transforming involuntarily (and leads to an anxiety dream featuring Havi getting very snuggly with Gile). | |

He does it again when Havi tries to leave in the middle of their argument on the balcony. Both times, Havi can't resist the hint that Vald returns his feelings. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Many, many times. It can combine with a Don't Touch It, You Idiot! sentiment, or just reflect the huge amount of property damage that seems to reoccur around the protagonists. It would also be very helpful if Havi didn't have a way of angering most entities in existence. Even the basic premise ends up with a dose of it. Havi's influence allows Vald to achieve a form of Symbiotic Possession with the demon, eventually leaving his mind and memories intact when he transforms. This turns out to be exactly what the Big Bad wanted: a host who could combine his own strengths with demonic power. He sees this potential in Vald and becomes even more fixated on him. | |

Havi stubbornly refuses blame for unleashing the dimension bug on Celeasdile, but he avoids going back until Vald's quest makes it necessary. More tellingly, he doesn't even try another summoning for ten years, demonstrating that - if nothing else - he feels a deep personal guilt over the summoned Head Pet that died protecting him. | |

Noble Male, Roguish Male: Vald and Mars, the melee fighters of the party, have this dynamic. Mars is a former member of the imperial guard, now a scruffy thief and Vald is a proud, genteel Warrior Prince who usually looks pristine. Somewhat unusually for this trope, Mars doesn't express much interest in women (or men, for that matter, aside from his magic-induced dream of Vald in one of the extras) and Vald, while not promiscuous, secretly has quite the sex drive. | |

Wham Episode: The Brainwashed and Crazy storyline, starting in the ninth installment. Vald gets his first confirmation that he hasn't imagined a sexual connection between himself and Havi. Then Havi is kidnapped. By a henchman of the previously-unseen Big Bad, who eventually shows up in person himself. Vald shows a new aptitude for magic at the price of binding himself more tightly to the curse. He begins to retain memories of his actions as a demon, but struggles to keep control of his transformations more than ever. And of course, it culminates in Vald having sex with Havi while still human, permanently altering their dynamic. | |

Forgotten First Meeting: Both Havi and Vald seem to have forgotten that they met once when they were children when Havi helped Vald get over an illness and the two slayed a demon that was possessing Vald's father. Havi seems to have buried the incident in his consciousness, possibly due to embarrassment (he wanted Vald, who spent the story cross-dressing as a girl, as his reward). Vald genuinely just forgot about it as he grew up. | |

Idealized Sex | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_af3ff126 | comment |
Idealized Sex: As expected for the genre. There’s no issue with unprotected anal sex with little to no preparation and there’s an improbable amount of natural lubrication for two men. However, much of this can be potentially hand-waved because, quite literally, a wizard did it. It does somewhat avert the common mistake of reducing male/male sex acts to only anal sex; manual and oral sex are frequently shown (in loving detail). | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: Halvir and Vald's argument at the party. Halvir is right that in Vald's desperation to save everybody he can, he often disregards the safety (and sanity) of his friends, as well as that it's hurtful for him to reject Havi's affection one minute and then beg for it a moment later. But Vald is also right to point out that Havi's behavior was confusing, that he should have explained how he had decided to handle the curse, and that his freezing Vald out after a dangerous tangent adventure was unhelpful. | |

The initial premise of the manga. Not only does sleeping with the demon Vald subdue him and help Havi heal him when he's in human form, it supercharges Havi's magic and appears to give him the ability to sense Vald's presence and the use of his power at a distance. It's implied that this would be true of anybody who slept with Vald (and possibly with Havi, as Gile asserts, given his prodigious magical power). | |

When the party meets Rimris, they're shocked to find a wizard who doesn't come from Serasudel. | |

Painted-On Pants: Most of the characters have this to some degree as a consequence of the art style, but Vald's Unlimited Wardrobe seems to consist almost exclusively of the tightest trousers available in a Heroic Fantasy setting. Semi-justified; if anybody would have access to expensive tailoring, it would be Vald. Doesn't explain why he wears them to travel and fight, though. | |

Functional Magic | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_dfe120e5 | comment |
Functional Magic: Several varieties show up, most prominently inherent gift, force magic, device magic, and theurgy. The inherent gift aspect also seems to affect the types of magic each practitioner specializes in. Halvir is The Red Mage, using elemental combat magic and Healing Hands most prominently, but also displaying an aptitude for alchemy, scrying, and use of enchanted items. It's implied that his energy exchanges with Vald's demonic side are considered a form of theurgic Black Magic, with Halrein saying that the council of elders will "find [him] guilty" of tainting his magic by having sex with "that beast". Halrein has White Magic-adjacent abilities, being able to freeze Vald at the point of death and revive a near-dead Halvir. He also uses Summon Magic to call the dragon while traveling to Gile's lair and mentions using combative force magic in his backstory. Gile, as the resident Evil Sorcerer, uses primarily mentalism and Blood Magic, as well as scrying on the protagonists. Rimris specializes in precognitive divination, but also uses theurgic Summon Magic for self-defense purposes, as seen when Havi blasts him with a fireball to test his abilities. Astador uses black Summon Magic, curse magic and mentalism. | |

Spotting the Thread: While trying to get Havi's attention at Lord Kavanel's party, Vald realizes that he Casts No Shadow. Sure enough, the real Havi is sulking outside on the balcony. | |

Burning with Anger | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_f062453 | comment |
Havi will become engulfed with flames of anger when he sees someone has hurt Vald, and Ruruka, while not Vald's lover, becomes incredibly violent when something bad happens to Vald; interestingly, both refer to him as "my Vald." | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: Played for Drama following human Vald and Havi's first time together. Vald is too absorbed reuniting with Havi to find Ruruka, who was badly injured battling his demon form. By the time he finally notices Ruruka's absence, the bunny has slipped into a coma, and Vald blames himself and cuts off his relationship with Havi to avoid losing focus again. Played for the typical laughs in the Lotus-Eater Machine extra. Havi simply can't resist an uninhibited version of his beloved prince. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Vald seems relatively unbothered by Rimris trying to force oral sex on him, even expressing concern for the troubled sorcerer. Lampshaded by Havi, who snaps that nobody needs to spare a thought for Rimris. | |

Dude, She's Like in a Coma | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_f604f64b | comment |
Dude, He's, Like, in a Coma!: Given that Vald remembers little afterwards and is apparently not in conscious control of himself, Halvir's nightly frolics with Vald-in-demon-form arguably qualify as this. Ruruka certainly expresses such an opinion, and also chastises Vald for seeming a little too interested in Havi when he's unconscious. | |

Battle Harem | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_f6ce4c24 | comment |
Battle Harem: Despite the series not being part of the Harem Genre, Vald's party essentially functions as a single-sex version of this. All of his traveling companions are interested in him to some degree, ranging from intense crushes to outright declarations of love, and all are more than capable of kicking ass in his defense. | |

Attempted Rape | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_f85354eb | comment |
Rimris forces a kiss on Vald while propositioning him. Given that he's in love with Havi by this point (not to mention that Rimris had him tied down and he'd just escaped an Attempted Rape), Vald is less than receptive. | |

The Red Mage | |
Crimson Spell (Manga) / int_f9339f97 | comment |
Halvir is The Red Mage, using elemental combat magic and Healing Hands most prominently, but also displaying an aptitude for alchemy, scrying, and use of enchanted items. It's implied that his energy exchanges with Vald's demonic side are considered a form of theurgic Black Magic, with Halrein saying that the council of elders will "find [him] guilty" of tainting his magic by having sex with "that beast". | |

Not Staying for Breakfast: Played with. After he sleeps with Vald in human form for the first time, Havi wakes up alone. It turns out that Vald only went to go clean up and doesn't lead immediately to a break-up, but it still reflects his uncertainty about the relationship. | |

Distressed Dude: Vald, several times, often requiring rescue from Havi. Overlaps with Badass in Distress; Vald is a skilled swordsman, but many of their opponents are mages, making Havi the better match. Havi also falls victim to this in a Moment of Weakness, allowing Gile to capture him. | |
