Monochrome Factor is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kaili Sorano. The story follows the exploits of Akira Nikaido, a lazy high school student. His life changes when he meets Shirogane, a man who suddenly appears and tells him that they share a fate, though Akira is understandably skeptical. Later while Akira is helping a friend Aya she is kidnapped by a shadow monster. This event forces Akira to recognize his role in restoring the balance between the human and shadow worlds.First serialized in Mag Garden's bi-monthly Manga magazine Comic Blade Masamune in May 2004. When the magazine ceased publication, the manga began serialization in the new and revamped magazine, Comic Blade Avarus, in September 2007. The manga ended in 2011.An Anime adaptation produced by GENCO, and animated by studio A.C.G.T.note with assistance from Asahi Production and Studio Comet, premiered on TV Tokyo on April 7, 2008. It later aired on other networks such as AT-X and TV Osaka. The anime has shōnen-ai themes which are almost completely absent from the manga. Originally running from April 7th, 2008 to September 29th, 2008, the anime consists of 24 episodes. | |

Look Behind You: After Aya catches Akira and Kengo skipping class, Kengo attempts to distract her by shouting "Oh my! Look over there! A pile of X-rated magazines!" It works. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In the second episode of the anime (which is known for a lot of invented and embellished Ho Yay subtext), there's a scene where Akira needs to pull a couple of spikes out of Shirogane's back. The camera angles, the characters' expressions, and the fact that both of them are shirtless makes the whole scene look very... inappropriate, to say the least. | |

| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Though Monochrome Factor is more or less free of this for the most part, Sorano does from time to time include little character profiles in the manga detailing things that don't generally come up in the main narrative—like their favorite food, favorite video games, favorite TV shows, the creator's impressions of their personality, et cetera. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: Aside from Akira commenting that his family's Buddhist to get Shirogane (who he first thinks is a crazy cultist) off his back, we've had absolutely no sign of his parents in over fifty chapters. Given his personality, it's not implausible to assume that they're not very close. This might be the case for Kengo too. Though he seemed to have a pretty decent relationship with his parents as a child, they don't really seem to be around much in his teen years. Adding that to the fact that he, Akira, and Kou seem to spend all major holidays together... | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_2f94135c | comment |
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Akira has no problem beating the living daylights out of his best friend, sometimes for no apparent reason. But he has serious issues with outright killing, as demonstrated the numerous times he stops Shirogane from killing a person possessed by the kokuchi and his unwillingness to put Nanaya out of his misery. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Kengo's dark factor makes him extremely powerful. It also causes him to black out, lapse into an animalistic, Ax-Crazy mode, and attack everything around him. Then Homurabi kills him to take his powers, and uses them to beat the crap out of his best friend. Also, the kings. Incredibly strong, but forced to abandon everything and everyone they knew from the human world to accept their kingship. Shisui in particular had issues with this one. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: By the end of the manga, Akira has fully awakened as king alongside Shirogane, and Homurabi has redeemed himself and earned the forgiveness of his Children. That doesn't change the fact that Kengo's still dead, and the only person who remembers that either him or Akira ever existed is Aya, who had to return to the human world alone. And that means Kengo's sister forgot about him too. Ouch. Or that Aya is the only to remember the shin and rei, and even then it takes a while. This includes Akira. | |

Sacred First Kiss: Dives into this trope, if only slightly, due to Akira's reaction even much later, when Kou brings up what Shirogane first did to Akira, the first thing that comes to mind is Shirogane kissing him. | |

| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_571a3c67 | comment |
Power Incontinence: Kengo's dark factor abilities probably qualify. At full capacity, he's practically one of the strongest people in the series—problem is that the second his powers kick in, he blacks out, loses all sense of friend-or-foe, and attacks damn near everything he sees. | |

Dark Is Not Evil | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_575fd5e2 | comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: While the Monochrome Factor universe is split up to a light and dark world, it's stressed that there's no real "good" or "evil" to either side—they both exist in order to preserve balance, and one side can't exist without the other. Slightly subverted in that the "light" side does seem to have a disproportionately high number of "good" characters, but that also may be because we've only encountered a few of them. It has been mentioned that Homurabi killed off all those who opposed his rule - hence Shirogane being on the run and not hiding out with other adepts. | |

Sequel Hook: The Monochrome Factor anime really, really tried to do this, with Homurabi and Ryuuko making their first appearances in the last episode as well as Shirogane apparently disappearing. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, the show's poor reception means it's unlikely to go any further. | |

Unstoppable Rage | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_6b983bf7 | comment |
Unstoppable Rage: Surprisingly, subverted on two counts, and during the same general arc: First there's Kou, who launches into an all-out berserker assault against Sawaki, as a last-ditch effort to make him pay for Ryuuko's murder before he overuses his power and disappears. Sawaki defeats him exactly one chapter later. Then there's Akira, who is mere seconds too late to save Kengo from having his dark inshi ripped from his chest by Homurabi, effectively killing him. After Kengo's big TearJerker death scene, Akira breaks up the fight between Shirogane and Hommurabi, dramatically screaming GIVE KENGO BACK! at the very end of the chapter. Then Homurabi spends the next two chapters kicking his ass. | |

Cannot Spit It Out: Akira is forced by Aya to apologize for his behavior to Kengo. What does he do? He gets half of "sorry" out, then body-slams Kengo and takes off. He does, finally, manage to apologize to Aya, and even embraces her, right before accepting the kingship, which effectively should erase any memories that she, and anyone else in the human world, has of him. | |

Camp Gay | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_722b3319 | comment |
Camp Gay: Shirogane—but only in the anime. Even in the drama CD, where Shirogane still has the same voice actor, he pretty much avoids the camp gay altogether. Certain scenes in the anime suggest that it is somewhat part of his "mask". | |

| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_790a1a93 | comment |
Ineffectual Loner: Kou . Though he is very strong, by the time the main story rolls around his power has waned considerably, and any attempts to do anything alone tend not to end well. He gets roughed up so badly while fighting just regular kokuchi that he apparently has to do minor surgery on himself, and his big, climactic battle against Sawaki, um... doesn't go very well. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_7c862b8a | comment |
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Damn near all of Homurabi's subordinates. Either they outright join Akira's side against him, like Nanaya and Lulu, or they deliberately subvert his plans from the inside, like Sawaki. Shiki is the only one who is technically still on Homurabi's side, but it's been established that not even he's 100% loyal. | |

Immortality Begins at Twenty: Pretty much all of the immortal characters appear to be frozen in their late teens or early twenties, with the exception of Shiki. Though even he plays this one totally straight when he shows his "true form." This trope is especially relevant in Kou's case, who appears to have only two distinct life stages: a twenty-five year old man, and a big white doggie. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_9afa05c7 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Death: Kaili Sorano almost seems to have an aversion to killing off characters, but when she actually does... hoo boy. Just as a basic rundown: Nanaya - Homurabi grips either side of his head, lifts him off the ground, digs his nails into his scalp, and crushes his skull. Kou - Sawaki pins his right hand to a column with his spear, then leaps back, summoning a flurry of other spears to finish the job. The shot at the beginning of the next chapter shows him impaled through the chest, stomach, left thigh, and right knee, with blood flowing down the column behind him. Ryuuko - Sawaki impales him from behind with his spear. When he withdraws the weapon, Ryuuko stumbles forward into Homurabi, who calmly reaches his hand into the wound to pull out his light inshi. Kengo - Caught by Homurabi, who lets the poor kid suffer in fear for a few pages as he casually relays his plans to Shirogane. Then he digs his fingernails into Kengo's chest, violently ripping out his dark inshi. It should be noted that Nanaya and Kou are the only two of these who manage to not die permanently. | |

Mood Whiplash: Sawaki goes from asking Ryuuko and Kengo's spirits if he can "go with them" to complaining (complete with humorously mock-serious face) that he won't be able to tease Kou anymore to preparing to stab himself in the throat with his own spear. Never mind Chapter 56, where we go from Kengo fanboying over Akira's new king's robe to him being stabbed through the chest with Homurabi's claws. Ouch. | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: While definitely a weakling as a kid, years of backing Akira up in schoolyard fights and training himself by night have morphed Kengo into the utter epitome of this. Even Akira, who makes a habit of demeaning Kengo on a regular basis, still is willing to admit that he's strong. Still didn't save him against Homurabi though. | |

Dead for Real: While it's stated that Akira could choose to give Kengo back his inshi to revive him, he instead gives it to Shirogane to fully restore him to his old self. Though Sawaki did ultimately survive his duel with Kou, after being visited by Ryuuko and Kengo's spirits, he chooses to join them in the afterlife rather than continuing to live as a Shin. He commits suicide with one of his spears off-panel. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Nanaya's not exactly the most sympathetic guy on the planet at first. Then he gets the crap beaten out of him by Shirogane (who cuts his arm clean off without even batting an eyelash), narrowly manages to escape death by fleeing back to the shadow world, only to promptly have his skull crushed by Homurabi when he arrives. And the kicker is, that's not even the worst thing that happens to him in this manga. Nanaya's life just plain sucks. | |

Berserk Button: In Volume 5 of the manga, Kou has a brief run-in with Sawaki, one of Homurabi's Children. Though it's very clear that the two don't like each other, the exchange between them isn't especially hostile. Until Sawaki makes the mistake of asking Kou to give his regards to "Ryuuko's successor," meaning Akira. Ryuuko is already a painful subject for Kou, and Sawaki was one of the people who betrayed him. Safe to say, just hearing Sawaki mention the late King's name is enough to send him into a brief rage. | |

Spoiler Opening | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_cd83fa5b | comment |
Spoiler Opening: The anime opening of course. There's no way of hiding the fact both Kengo and Aya will have major roles; even Kou shows up long before he does in the show! Ironically, the only major characters that don't make an appearance are Haruka and his butler. | |

Creating Life | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_d038afba | comment |
Creating Life: Kou was, in fact, created by Ryuuko, using a technique that basically makes him an odd amalgamation of a human and Rei. Most likely in direct response to Kou's creation, the technique was later permanently banned, and a few lines of dialogue in the flashback arc imply that there was probably some debate among the kings as to whether Kou should have even been allowed to live. As one might expect, this whole ordeal has left Kou with some slight daddy issues, existential angst, and general self-loathing. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Presumably part of the reason why Akira is so popular with the girls in his class. | |

Unexplained Recovery | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_e5d8460d | comment |
Unexplained Recovery: Nanaya, who somehow managed to survive getting his skull crushed by Homurabi early on in the series. It's insinuated that Homurabi revived him by using a bastardized version of the same technique that Ryuuko used to create Kou. It just didn't work very well. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
| Monochrome Factor (Manga) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Homurabi. Though apparently all it takes for Homurabi to stop being evil is for Shisui to look at him sadly and Shirogane to slash him, so it all kind of evens out. | |

Drives Like Crazy: Though this is pretty much consistent with her role as The Ditz, in the anime Mayu has a little bit of a problem distinguishing between the brake and the accelerator. | |
