History YMMV / Remina

* InferredHolocaust: [[spoiler: In the end, Remina (the planet) ''does'' devour the Earth. Only Remina (the person) and a handful of survivors manage to escape, but they are now stranded on a small spaceship in the middle of space with limited supplies and, due to the Earth having been destroyed, there is nobody left to rescue them and no safe place for them to reach before said supplies run out. Daisuke is at least optimistic, consdiering that them surviving at all was a miracle, and there's at least time for another to save them.]]

* CommonKnowledge: No, the name of the main protagonist matching with that of the hellstar is not the reason why people want her dead, though it is a factor as to why, as it ''is'' the reason she's famous. The hysteria surrounding Remina and Professor Oguro ultimately starts because of how the hellstar is targetting Earth, when it has been established that it could go anywhere, and Professor Oguro just so happened to get a Noble Prize for the discovery, and his daughter received stardom for the namesake. The fact that Oguro himself, the discoverer of the hellstar, couldn't really explain what the whereabouts surrounding it were, but also determined that the hellstar emerged from the wormhole the day his daughter was born, would certainly lead to some sort of suspicion from the more conspiracy-minded people in the crowd. Not to mention, all the stuff about Remina being an avatar of the hellstar more or less came from the cult that killed the newscasters, who weren't even introduced until worldwide riots started occuring. By that point, people that are desperate enough to try and do what they can to survive in such a hopeless scenario are willing to believe anything.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Daisuke is a favorite amongst people that read the manga, even to those that don't like this story in particular.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhof: Junji Ito's mangas generally have a large Latin American following, this manga especially.

* CompleteMonster: It's no easy feat to be one of these in a story where a planet-eating monster leads to the creation of a worldwide cult that wants to kill a teenage girl, but this special honor goes to the main villain of the manga, Naoya Goda, who at first comes off as an entitled fanboy of hers. After Remina experiences the deaths of both her manager and father head on, the trauma and sorrow she's experiencing from all of this completely flies over his head, and outright tells her that she doesn't need either her father or her manager. If that wasn't bad enough, he beats the crap out of Kunihiro in an attempt to kill him, out of rage for "leaving her to die", and walks off when Remina tells him how out of proportion this is. To further pour salt on an open wound, this leads him to become the new leader of the cult that sought to kill Remina in the first place, and convinces them that torturing her is the best means of proceeding with the ritual, and directs them to do the same to a hobo, just because she embraced him. Knowing full well how Remina feels about the death of her father, he also forces her to look at his charred corpse before stringing her up on it. And the kicker, the reason he did all of this was all because she cannot belong to one person, and he himself prefers to keep his fatasy with being with her alive.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Hellstar Remina is often considered one of Ito's weaker mangas, mostly due to its plot. Many people who have read this manga had felt that many of the ideas and characters presented in the book, while sounding good on paper, were never fully developed, and that the story probably should have been much longer to fix this problem. A lot can be done with an average teenage girl who gains stardom from a revolutionary discovery, and all of the horrific consequences that ensue. Unfortunately, the end result leaves a lot of loose threads and plotlines unanswered, an overall messy integration of both the human and planet scale events at once, and sloppy uses of symbolism.
