YMMV / Yuureitou

Go To

  • Captain Obvious Reveal: After Tetsuo so much as bore his breasts the first time the readers saw him bathe, it didn't take the audience very long to guess that he used to be the missing Reiko.
  • Misaimed Fandom: Even after the manga explicitly stated otherwise, some fans still think that Tetsuo is a Sweet Polly Oliver who should "go back to being a woman" after "she" gets with Taichi. Tetsuo and Taichi do end up together, but it's a gay relationship as Tetsuo still identifies as a man by the finale, and Taichi likes him as a guy despite only showing interest in women. It's complicated.
  • No Yay: Between Marube and Satoko, and Marube and Tetsuo...hell, pretty much Marube and anyone.
  • Squick:
    • Be prepared to see many cut, broken, or squished bodies through your time in the manga. The frequency doesn't go down either.
    • Marube's ultimate, nonsensical plan: use brain surgery to swap bodies with Tetsuo so he can get impregnated and have a child, then proceed to do that over and over with different generations of offspring in order to make a testament to his love for Onatsu. Good god, that's just sick.
  • Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The tone of this manga can get pretty harsh sometimes, and many of the characters have less than pleasant secrets they're willing to hide and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. It's definitely par for the course for mystery, but, considering it ran from 2010 to 2014, it becomes somewhat uneasy to root for the protagonists when there are no true good figures in the tale.
  • Values Resonance: Though Yamashina's message about publishing more stories with "deviants" is laid out pretty blatantly, it still rings true even years after its publication. While the definiton of who counts as a "deviant" changes depending on the era and place, and people may make more stories concerning people once considered "deviant" in the time the manga is set; societies at large are still far and away from accepting those groups as a whole, which scares off writers who do want to write about them or makes such writers ignored by the public at large.
