Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rose Guns Days is a doujin Visual Novel produced by 07th Expansion. It is unrelated to the franchise 07th Expansion is more known for, When They Cry.Tokyo, 2012. The city has become a cosmopolitan metropolis, where people of Japanese descent have become very few. The young Journalist Julie Hayashibara is one of them, and is called in by the famous Mafia boss Jeanne Amakawa, Madam of a club in Tokyo called Primavera and Honorary leader of the nationalistic organisation Harukaze. The old woman wants to pass on the story of the unknown first Madam of the club, Rose Haibara, and how Primavera came to be how it is today.Tokyo, City 23, 1947. In an Alternate History, Japan lost the war in 1944, when the country was destroyed by a natural disaster. The United States and China quickly started to compete in the reconstruction, bringing massive waves of immigrants with them, to the point Japanese people became a minority in Tokyo. Three years later, almost all the Japanese people in Tokyo go by a second Western name, and unemployment mixes with criminality and prostitution. Leo Shishigami comes back in his unrecognizable hometown after three years, and saves a young girl chased by The Mafia, who invites him to eat pasta in the club she owns, the Primavera. After wandering around in the city and unsuccessfully searching for a job and a roof, Leo goes back to the club, where the crime boss, "Crazy" Alfred Akagi, and his henchmen are threatening the girl who helped him. After the incident where he shines again, Leo ends up hired as a bodyguard for "Madam Rose". There begins the story of Rose's determination to help her countrymen in need, where she will have to grow up from an idealistic but naive girl to a confident leader.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The game is completely different from anything released by 07th Expansion so far, as it features no gore, Psychological Horror or mystery, but rather a mix of slice-of-life and action with elements of political drama, and a generally lighter tone. And in a slight originality from the usual sound novel format, action scenes are punctuated by a reflex mini-game with a recorded score at the end of each Season. Instead of a single main story with a single Big Bad, the plot is separated into arcs, or Seasons, with a different Arc Villain for each. Considering the setting, some touchy themes come to be treated in the story, especially the questions of nationalism and defense of one's culture, or Chinese-Japanese relationships after WWII.Witch Hunt, the translation team behind 07th Expansion's previous work Umineko: When They Cry, provides a full English translation of the games. The demo can be found here. The Last Season was released in January 2014.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Manga adaptations almost immediately started in Square Enix magazines: Season 1 started in September 2012 and ended in March 2014 in the Gangan Joker. It was drawn by Sōichirō, who already worked on the manga adaptation of Alliance of the Golden Witch. Season 2 started in February 2013 and ended in April 2014 in G-Fantasy. It was drawn by Nana Natsunishi. Season 3 started in September 2013 and ended in March 2015 in the Gangan Online. It was drawn by You Oomura. Last Season started in the May 2014 and ended in July 2015 in the Big Gangan. It was drawn by Mitsunori Zaki.Other completed manga adaptations include a two-volume spin-off called Aishū no Cross Knife ("The Cross Knife of Sorrow"), published in the Big Gangan, which takes place in 1946 and focuses on Wayne Uedera, with a generally darker tone, and a two-volume prologue titled Fukushū wa ōgon no kaori ("Revenge has the fragrance of gold"), published in Kōdansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius, which takes place before Rose effectively became the Madam. The manga of Season 1 has been licenced by Yen Press.Please note that in the VN, the story is divided both in 4 seasons (1, 2, 3, Last) and 4 years (1947, 48, 49, 50), but the two don't coincide. Season 2 covers the end of 1947 and the first half of 1948 for example. In the manga however, a Season covers a full year. When we talk about "Season" here, it refers to a VN Season.Obviously not to be confused with Guns N' Roses. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Whenever the heroes have a gunfight in 1947 and 1948, you will find nary a mention of blood or anyone being dead, even though there is little else a gunfight can produce. However this is sharply averted on several occasions in 1949 and 1950. According to Word of God, this sudden change of gears in the handling of violence between the first and second half of the story is entirely deliberate, and meant to accentuate the shock. | |

GrayAndGreyMorality | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_1b44c21 | comment |
Gray-and-Grey Morality: To some extent, since the story still takes place in the criminal underworld. While there are some unambiguously good-intentionned characters, many of Primavera's men follow Rose because she's on top, not because they are decent people. And a few of the characters we are made to root for or sympathise with, like Butler, are quite morally dubious by common standards. In the end, the plot is more about each side fighting to defend their own interests and worldviews than defeating a Big Bad. The one character that can qualify for this title, Gabriel, isn't even defeated by Primavera or the GDS, but by his own underling. | |

Senseless Sacrifice | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_1dacdb4f | comment |
Senseless Sacrifice: All over the place in the last 2 years. It starts with Stella's sacrifice which doesn't prevent Yūji's death; it continues with Oliver fighting desperately to protect what he doesn't know is a double, and dying with him anyway; and finally Cyrus fighting and dying to let Richard escape, only for the latter to die pathetically when trying to kill Gabriel. | |

Artifact Alias: Season 2 introduces an amnesiac young girl to whom Rose gives the name "Rapunzel" because of her long hair. Soon, everyone starts to call her by the diminutive "Zel". She eventually remembers her real identity (Saijou Hotaru, a girl forced to work as a spy and assassin under the codename "Hotarubi") but continues to go by her new name despite that. And in a way, every Japanese character counts, as they call each other by their made-up English names even when they are between Japanese people. | |

Running Over the Plot: The 1948 part begins with Rose hitting a girl who jumped in front of her car, apparently running from procurers. She loses her memories in the process and Rose gives her a temporary name, "Rapunzel". It turns out the girl literally jumped in front of the car so that Rose would "save" her, since her mission was to infiltrate Primavera and get close to Rose. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Despite having a protagonist who starts as a Wide-Eyed Idealist and having part of its message built around the protection of the future generations, the work can be quite cynical about how the world works, as well as very critical of some aspects of the Japanese mentality, be it through the narration, the voice of Chinese characters or the voice of Rose herself. It's still not quite as cynical as Umineko or Higanbana were though. | |

Full-Circle Revolution: The Big Bad of each arc is often someone who was fighting the previous arc’s villain. It starts with the Caleb family taking over City 23’s underground after helping to defeat Alfred and extorting everyone for money, then the Golden Dragon Society helping to topple Caleb only for Meijiu and Wang to greedily compete for power, and finally Primavera itself becoming reminiscent of the Caleb family (which is repeatedly lampshaded) thanks to it’s new leadership. | |

| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_534ed654 | comment |
Awesomeness Meter: Your skill in the mini-game is symbolized by an insignia which becomes more elaborate when you manage a flawless sequence (the more Score Multipliers you can manage, the faster it evolves) but regresses every time you screw up an attack. It starts with a single silver chevron and goes up to a golden lion head with golden laurels on the sides. Also, the insigna's motif changes depending on the time period. | |

Women Are Wiser | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_565106b3 | comment |
Women Are Wiser: Not quite explicitly stated but several female characters serve as a voice of reason to reign in a male one, beat some sense into him or just make him a better person (notably Zel to Oliver and Meixue to Alan; and Rose to Richard, kind of). One scene also compares the vision of women to a "radar" (able to vaguely sense a danger from far away) and the vision of men to a "microscope" (more prone to analyse the threat in detail from close up). | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_5663a595 | comment |
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: As mentionned above, unlike the VN Alfred and Leo never directly fight in the Season 1 manga, yet in the Season 4 manga Alfred has kept an inexplicable grudge against Leo. It doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things, but it's still confusing. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: In the manga, most fight scenes are shortened or outright removed. The dialogues and exploration of City 23 are also kept to a minimum, keeping only the core of the plot and giving the story a much faster pace overall; which can lead to some surprising choices, like the meeting and fight between Leo and Alfred in Season 1 being purely and simply axed. While the Season 1 manga keeps a good balance and removes mostly superfluous scenes, the Season 2 and 3 mangas suffer from some Compressed Adaptation issues − like the complete disapearance of the "War of Soy Sauce" in 1948, even though it was an important part of Rose's Character Development in the VN. | |

Time Skip | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_5fcb9ad1 | comment |
Time Skip: The story is divided in 4 years (from 1947 to 1950), with a time jump in the middle of each Season after the first. The Seasons in the manga, somewhat more logically, follow the time jumps though. It's likely that the author had originally planned a "1 season = 1 year" structure but Season 1 ended up being too long, so he had to go for mid-Season time skips instead. | |

Sliding Scale of Alternate History Plausibility | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_7c3dda61 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Alternate History Plausibility: Probably a type III (soft AH), considering that the scale of the disaster and of the immigration wave that follows are thoroughly implausible. But the author does try to portray more-or-less realistically how such a Japan would be ruled and how the Japanese and immigrants would live in it, as well as the impact it would have on US-China relationships. The setting would have probably be closer to type II had the story taken place some decades after the Disaster instead of just 3 years. | |

Repetitive Name: Leo Shishigaminote "leo" and "shishi" are the Latin and Japanese words for "lion", respectively and Rose Haibaranote "bara" is Japanese for "rose", though the kanji used in her name is different.

Big Bad | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Rather than a single main antagonist, the greatest threats to City 23 and Club Primavera are the dueling mob bosses, each of whom is fought in succession of each other. By season: Season 1 has “Crazy” Alfred Akagi, a mob boss that extorts the Primavera club for money. Season 2/1957 arc has Father Caleb Souhei Keireiji, leader of the Caleb Family who seeks to gather 100 million Japanese dollars for the American occupying forces to help his people- and kills people, squeezing every last money out of them, and antagonizes Primavera, to get the money. Season 3/1948 has Blue Dragon Wang Yuanhong, a leader of the Golden Dragon Society, who competes with Primavera to control the spice trade, and also plots on behalf of his superiors, the Elder Council, to unseat the young emperor of the Golden Dragons. Season 4/1949 and (indirectly) 1950 has Major Gabriel Kaburaya of the GHQ, who turns the other villains into his pawns and starts killing everyone to engineer a gang war between Primavera and Golden Dragon as revenge for his family being killed by yakuza. In 1950, he controls Richard and installs him as the direct threat, but is still the Final Boss. | |

Unproblematic Prostitution | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_98ba5dfe | comment |
Unproblematic Prostitution: Played variously. Primavera is a high-class club, so the "ladies of the night" can work in relatively decent conditions (although it's not like they all chose this job eagerly), and there are bodyguards to take care of the problematic customers; those working for the mafia like Hotaru probably aren't so lucky. By Nina's case, it seems being legal isn't even a requirement to work in Primavera. | |

| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_9e9203e1 | comment |
Dramatically Missing the Point: The cause of pretty much all the events in the Last Season with Richard and Keith mistakenly believing that the Chinese mafia was behind the death of Stella and Yūji, while the true mastermind was Gabriel. Interestingly though, that's not really the focus of the narrative, which insists more on them losing their mind than the target of their vengeance being the wrong one. Incidentally, in-universe the truth isn't exposed until after everything is finished, and it's only quickly glossed over. | |

In the manga however, Alfred's henchmen somehow manage to not hit Leo even after emptying entire magazines. At a 5-meter distance. As he is just standing there idly. Caleb's men don't fare much better. Either they use toy guns, or Leo is actually Neo. | |

Alternate History | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: Outside of American and Chinese immigration, it's also mentionned that there is now a Cold War between the United States and China, and Japan benefits from the Marshall Plan. And since the atomic bomb was never used, the doctrin of nuclear disssuasion probably doesn't exist. However, oddly enough the narration often references events that occured after the war in our history, making it sometimes ambiguous whether the author is talking about RGD's world or our own. This may or may not be deliberate. | |

Given Name Reveal | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_aaedd10 | comment |
Given Name Reveal: A mundane example − some of the Japanese characters' real names are dropped in casual dialogues, but it's never crucial to the plot and rather serves to accentuate the mood of said scene (like Rose giving her Japanese name to a Western-hating old man or Richard saying farewell to Stella by calling her "Sumiko" during her funeral − and Gabriel doing the same to rub it in later). The final credits also list all the characters with their real names. | |

Pyrrhic Victory | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: Subverted in 1948. At first the writing can give the impression it's a superb victory for Primavera who defeated Wang against all odds… before you realize that they gained pretty much nothing in the conflict and sacrificed almost every assets they had to only limit the damage. Not only is it pyrrhic, it's not even a victory; only choosing the lesser evil. | |

PiratesWhoDontDoAnything | |
| Rose Guns Days (Visual Novel) / int_af9d7ec7 | comment |
Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: It's sometimes very easy to forget that the Primavera family is a mafia under Rose's rule. Some characters lampshade in Season 3 that people rather see it as some kind of charitable organization, and that it can actually be a handicap when other mafia groups are involved. This becomes subverted when Gabriel and Richard take over. | |

Tom the Dark Lord: The Arc Villains seem to have this. The first two are called Alfred and Caleb, respectively, which rather downplays their threat level, and it’s taken Up to Eleven with Gabriel, who’s angelic name belies his vicious Knight Templar nature. Averted with Wang, which is written with the character for "king" (王). | |

Season 4/1949 and (indirectly) 1950 has Major Gabriel Kaburaya of the GHQ, who turns the other villains into his pawns and starts killing everyone to engineer a gang war between Primavera and Golden Dragon as revenge for his family being killed by yakuza. In 1950, he controls Richard and installs him as the direct threat, but is still the Final Boss. | |

Writers Cannot Do Math: In Season 2, it is said that december 31st 2012 is the 67th anniversary of Leo's departure from Japan, which happens in… 1947. Unless the calendar doubled a couple of classes, that's 65 years. The very setting of the series is a bit dubious in that regard: the Japanese are said to already be put in minority a mere 3 years after the war; considering the Japanese population was over 70 million in the 40s, even taking the war and the disaster into account that would require an immigration rate far beyond anything obvserved in human history, not to mention overpopulation issues. It's also possible it applies only to Tokyo, which would make it slightly more believable. | |

And to top it all off, even though he’s eventually defeated, he’s able to shift all the blame onto Rose while he presumably goes down in history as a hero. | |
