| Monster Soul (Manga) | comment |
Welcome to Elvenland, a fantasy world where monsters co-exist with humans. However, as you can imagine, tensions on both side flare more often than not, leading into an ongoing battle between the two (Humans are afraid of the monsters preying on them, while the monsters are afraid the humans will hunt them down).Despite this, a group of monsters, The Black Airs, a ragtag bunch said to be the strongest monster force, have made sure both sides are under control and work to find a peaceful solution to the conflict. Their members includes Aki (a werewolf), Tooran (a half-human sand golem), James (a Frankenstein's monster-ish guy), Mummy (a, uh, mummy), and Joba (a odd, onion-looking monster).Such is the story of Monster Soul, a short, two-volume manga from Hiro Mashima, the creator of Rave Master and Fairy Tail. The manga was serialized in Comic Bom Bom from 2005 to 2007. It has been licensed by Kodansha Comics is available for purchase in English. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
| Monster Soul (Manga) / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: Mummy and James fit this. The first whose parents we never know about, the only flashback of her on her own is running away from humans before meeting James. James however plays this straight as he was created a weapon by the humans meant to hunt down monsters. But was viewed as a failure and abandoned before Mummy found and befriended him. Subverted with Aki and Tooran, the former whose parents were killed by a human hunter and the latter whose father and clan were dissolved in a rain storm. | |

| Monster Soul (Manga) / int_3d4d3dc9 | comment |
Humans Are Bastards: Touched upon but the Black Airs don't see it that way. Only fighting against humans who wish to actively do harm to the monsters. Otherwise they're friendly to both sides. | |

To Hell and Back: A story arc that makes up the last few chapters. Oddly, Hell is pretty easily accessible via a trap door and guarded by a sole monster. | |

Frankenstein's Monster: James who was created by humans to hunt monsters but was too kind hearted to do so and promptly abandoned. Oddly enough he can change into a jet like form when he does go all out. | |

Vampire Hickey: Played with with the sole vampire character, Kiriko, that the protagonists fight. She has a lip-shaped mark on her neck, but it's revealed that's where her fangs are and she can extend it to bite into others to take their blood. | |

Eye Scream: Mummy lost her right eye to a bully monster named Garuelf while defending Aki. The disturbing thing is, she did it herself as part of a deal to get Garuelf to back off. She regains it years later when Aki beats him in a fight. | |

This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself: After Aki takes over the fight against Garuelf from Mummy, he orders her to stay back. She realizes he is doing this because of this trope to show she no longer has to fight his battles for him. | |

Our Werewolves Are Different: Aki's soul form allows him to change into a werewolf without the need for a moon, granting him strength and speed. However it uses up a lot of his energy and he instantly falls asleep once the action has passed to re-gain it. | |
