Line 4:
And thus Yuuichi ends up getting roped into the world of the [[Mai Franchise|HiMEs]], girls with the ability to wield magical weapons called 'Elements', and with their 'Key' present, the ability to summon giant beasts known as 'CHILD'. These are used in their battles to protect the school (and by extension the rest of the world) from monstrous creatures known as 'Orphan's. As the 'Key' to the two dueling girls, [[Redheaded Hero|Mai Tokiha]] and [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Natsuki Kuga]], his life has just become a [[Love Triangle|whole lot]] [[The Call|more complicated]].
 
The manga version of ''[[Mai-HiME (Anime)|MaiMy-HiME]]'' was conceived as an [[Alternate Continuity]] to the anime counterpart, with most of the characters having noticeably different backgrounds and personalities. While it has never managed to achieve the popularity of its anime counterpart, it nevertheless has a cult following. The series is available in paperback in North America, licensed by [[Tokyo Pop]].

{{tropelist}}
'''The manga shares a majority of tropes with the anime. Here are several that stand out within the manga itself''':
* [[Anti-Magic]]: Near the Gateway, it is impossible to summon Elements or Childs.
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
* [[Clothing Damage]]: The first fight against an Orphan in the manga has one of the female lead's school jacket being torn open. It goes [[Ecchi|downhill from there]].
* [[Combat Commentator]]: Chie and Aoi, during Haruka and Yukino's challenge of the main Power Trio.
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: A few of the supporting characters (such as Mikoto and Akane) are given their own eponymous chapters that reveal a little bit of their backstories.
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Takumi appears to die, only to become the Obsidian Lord}}. {{spoiler|Haruka, Yukino and Midori}} are seemingly killed in the climax, but survive.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Mai in the Manga ''hates'' being thought of as dependent or pitiable.
** Natsuki punches Yuuichi when she thinks he's helping her out of pity, after a [[Hannibal Lecture]] by {{spoiler|her mother}} asking her if she wants to be helped by someone motivated by pity.
* [[Fan Service]]: See entry on 'Clothing Damage'.
* [[First Girl Wins]]: Upon his arrival to Fuuka, Yuuichi brushes past a crying Mai. They end up kissing in chapter 22, and {{spoiler|the [[Mai-Otome (Mangamanga)|Mai-Otome manga]] reveals that they became husband and wife.}}
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Done by Natsuki to Mai in the final arc. Also attempted by Yuuichi against Shiho, but that one doesn't work.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: It gets pointed out several times to Yuuichi that he's really more of a liability on the battlefield than anything else. Doesn't stop him from heading out anyways. (And as mentioned above, Mai and Natsuki kinda ''need'' him there, as unlike in the anime, the Key must actually be present and fairly close for the HiME to summon her child)
