vignette00's manga / #omegaverse(3)

At some point someone should write a treatise about the tropes at play here (the ordinary everyday hero, the naive rich heir who is too purehearted, the mysterious rich Arab man, the trip to the aquarium, the playful but cunning but also purehearted father) but not for this manga, which sees the tropes quite clearly and has no interested in subversion but every interest in flaunting them to the point of hilarity. This has roots in Boys Over Flowers but ends with a totally unexpected side jaunt with Tanaka (the money hungry best friend) and Malik which completely breaks free from the original framework and becomes Darkness Hound. Three stars just for that, and for Malik's introduction which is trope exposition heaven.
