Shitsurakuen (literally translating as Paradise Lost) is a shonen manga written and illustrated by Tooru Naomura, who would later go on to illustrate Kakegurui. It ran in Gangan Joker from 2009 to 2011.Our heroine, Sora Himoto, has just been accepted to the prestigious Utopia Gakuen. She meets one of her childhood friends and talks about her dream of becoming a knight who protects princesses. Upon getting to the highschool she sees two male students, each attended by a female student, engaged in some kind of duel. Upon losing, the defeated student breaks his dagger and the girl with him cries out in pain… and no one seems to care or notice.The story draws inspiration from Revolutionary Girl Utena but with the bride/dueling mechanic extended to the entire student body. The school financers have taken it upon themselves to use sophisticated virtual reality to create an environment where gender (in)equality has been pushed back a few thousand years and then cranked up to eleven. The duels are part of a game called “Exaclan� where the male students are contestants and the female students are weapons to be used, wagered, traded, abused and discarded. The female students have no protections or rights of any kind against the player who currently owns them, and any girl without a master has no protections or rights of any kind, period.Seeing that the situation is unfair (that is, screwed up beyond all belief), Sora starts about entering Exaclan and trying to start a one girl revolution that quickly turns to a one-girl-and-her-harem revolution.A Character Sheet is now under construction. Feel free to contribute.

All Men Are Perverts
 Shitsurakuen (Manga) / int_129749df
comment
All Men Are Perverts: This trope is zigzagged. It's heavily implied that several girls are sexually abused by their "owners", and then there's Akane, who is a pretty nice guy who's just terrified of being ostracized/not allowed to graduate. Sumita is also an exception; Reiko states that he never touched her, and he seems to genuinely care about her..

Childhood Friend Romance: Unlucky Tsuki got rejected rather brutally by Sora... Or so it seems. It wasn't an outright rejection so much as rejecting her cynical view of the world to help her for the better, and in chapter 24 Sora marries Tsuki.

Faceless Goons
 Shitsurakuen (Manga) / int_2044af1
comment
Faceless Goons: Most male students are drawn with their faces partly obscured, especially their eyes — probably to emphasize their monstrosity and to further dehumanize them. Most of the guys who were drawn with full faces are either complex, have good motivations, or are actually decent people - Akane, who interestingly enough gets some Character Development when he takes off his glasses and reveals his eyes.

How Do I Shot Web?: Averted. Exaclan has documentation, and Yuki has the foresight to make Sora sit down and read it. And Inverted. Most of the boys haven't read the documentation, which allows Sora to exploit a few loopholes to her advantage.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: Periodically we see snippets of a fairytale story involving a prince, a princess, and a demon king, with elements that parallel the actual plot. This just seems like a way of comparing the story with fairytales until it's revealed that it's an actual in-universe story called "Paradise Story" and that El and X took their names from it and are deliberately causing the actual events of the series to mirror that story.

Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil
 Shitsurakuen (Manga) / int_28b2f93a
comment
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: The attitude shown towards the victims and quite a few of the ones who enforce it. The female students hopeless and miserable. The only reason they don’t resist is because the past situation was even worse and after such a steady diet of oppression and abuse most of the girls have come to believe they're as worthless as they're told. Might easily have been played straight with Sora’s personal harem as they are one hundred percent okay with being in Sora's custody — but differentiated from the Utopia Academy norm in that Sora tells her girls that she (Sora) will serve them by protecting and sheltering them. Reiko appears to avert the Trope, seemingly happy at first, but then admits that there is no way she or any girl could love her owner, and says that she only acts as such to exert power through him. The real kicker? Many of the boys themselves HATED this trope but they could do nothing to change this and were forced to play their roles. Still doesn't excuse the cruelty of some of them though.

Enigmatic Minion: Tsuki. It's hard to tell at first if she's helping or manipulating Sora, but at the very least Tsuki seems to have genuine feelings of friendship (at least) for her. El himself, for that matter. Although he's presented as the Big Bad.

C) Naturally, they are forced to wear stripperific outfits. Worse however is the implication the positions on the girls on the lower right and left of the big picture brings; they are leaned over the guys hips. Which means they are kept as Sex Slaves.

Pixellation: Played for humor in one of the 4 koma chapters; Koharu's rifle gets glitched up and turns pixellated during a thunderstorm. Hilarity Ensues.

Alternative Character Interpretation
 Shitsurakuen (Manga) / int_5e7163c9
comment
Alternative Character Interpretation: In-universe. Sora sees the good in even Tougyu; he was just trying to protect Hiyo-chan by being an Ax-Crazy monster. Let's just say that the fandom isn't as forgiving. The "Paradise Story" has a more deep and complex interpretation aside its straightforward and classical fairytale one.

Idiot Hero: Sora, though it's more naivete in a world like this than actual stupidity, and she wouldn't act any differently if she did know how screwed she was. (She'd be better at picking her allies, though.) This goes up to eleven when Chapter 22 reveals that El reveals himself to Sora and tells him what's going on. All of the information he gives her overloads her and she faints, forcing her mind to process everything and retell it in the form of her younger self. It's worth noting, however, that Sora displays incredible insight numerous times throughout the story.

Black-and-White Morality: There are stories where even the darkest villain has complex motivations, and even the brightest hero must ask questions about the righteousness of his or her cause. This is not one of those stories. OR IS IT? White-and-Grey Morality: What the series really is. Though it has some "black" elements, like practically everything Togyu does. Or all the implied and attempted rapes.

Stepford Smiler: As the series gets darker, Sora is arguably one of these as she begins to lose faith in herself. Probably the worst moment is when Yuki refuses to help her get the rest of the girls back because of her poor health, and Sora gives her the most forced smile, when she looks like she's about to burst into tears.

The attitude shown towards the victims and quite a few of the ones who enforce it. The female students hopeless and miserable. The only reason they don’t resist is because the past situation was even worse and after such a steady diet of oppression and abuse most of the girls have come to believe they're as worthless as they're told. Might easily have been played straight with Sora’s personal harem as they are one hundred percent okay with being in Sora's custody — but differentiated from the Utopia Academy norm in that Sora tells her girls that she (Sora) will serve them by protecting and sheltering them.

Meido: As shown in the first chapter's second-to-last page, the Absurdly Powerful Student Council has a bunch of these. That very page demonstrates several gruesome things with one large picture: A) The meeting hall is huge. Much bigger than needed. A member or maid is seen here or there and the rest is empty. Plus the maids bring tablets with apples. Now where was it again that apples are mentioned in unison with sin? B) The maids are drawn without eyes, which implies they are so far past the Despair Event Horizon they are will broken and thus gave up to even care to resist. C) Naturally, they are forced to wear stripperific outfits. Worse however is the implication the positions on the girls on the lower right and left of the big picture brings; they are leaned over the guys hips. Which means they are kept as Sex Slaves.

Have You Told Any One Else: Said by the Big Bad / The Dragon, but the this trope is used to protect Sora and imply that he has some sort of goal beyond enslaving everyone with a second X chromosome.

Inherent in the System: Utopia Academy and the Exaclan game are designed to encourage the male student body to leap across the Moral Event Horizon (which they willingly do, the bastards — or maybe NOT), and to encourage the female students not to fight back. Sora is determined to save the boys just as much as the girls.

Mysterious Protector: X. Though by all indications she's just as much of a victim as anyone else and she's forcibly working for El; it's all but outright stated she's Tsuki. Interestingly the series played with this trope when X was impersonated by a Creepy Crossdresser. And it's revealed that El himself is protecting Sora... from Tsuki.

Early-Bird Cameo: The picture at the top is from the first chapter of the series, showing the (presumed) "harem" of the main character. After three volumes, the last of the characters in the picture finally appears, and not all of them are under Sora's protection or have even met her. One is The Mole (she eventually has a Heel–Face Turn). Another is crossdressing to be a member of the all male student council.

Easily Forgiven
 Shitsurakuen (Manga) / int_f36c4f98
comment
Easily Forgiven: While it is somewhat understandable that some of the guys went along with the system, it still doesn't excuse how extremely cruel they have been treating the girls. The most egregious example of this might be between Koharu and Shinji. He tried to rape her and she is the one who apologizes first (for reasons no mortal could comprehend). Tsuki as well. She manipulated Sora, attacked her when she so much as spent time with other people, sliced open half of El's face with a knife and then carved her initials in Sora's forehead, and generally was abusive and really, really creepy. But despite her lack of remorse for her actions, she's instantly redeemed and even ends up with Sora in the end.

Earn Your Happy Ending: In Akane's final to "Paradise Story": El took half of the princess's kingdom, but El give the portion of the princess's kingdom he took to the knight so he could be a king able to marry the princess. She was happy until discovering that El would be part of her family now. Mirroring the story, Sora went on a journey to grow and mature, and when the time was appropriated, she returned to marry her princess, Tsuki.

Attempted Rape: Frequently. And almost always targeted at those girls who try to buck the system. And probably not-so-attempted several times both off-screen and before the story's beginning. Think about it. Or don't, you'll sleep better.

Hopeless Boss Fight: Yes, Sora, challenging one of the Student Council's top members (let alone one who is fanatically loyal to the president) when you've barely started is such a great idea. Shoujou admits to El later that the only reason he was able to win was that Sora was so lost in rage that she became very easy to read.
