History Manga / HellstarRemina

* NothingIsScarier: of the many, ''many'' deaths in this story, only the real fate of [[spoiler: the Mineichi family isn't shown. Stranded on planet Remina after fleeing there to try and escape the in-progress apocalypse, they're lured to what appears to be a surviving astronaut from earlier but is actually a tentacle attached to the planet, which quickly reveals itself and the last we see of the Mineichis is them screaming at it in terror. We don't see what the tentacle actually does to them, all we know is that they are ''dead''.]]

* AlienLandmass: The surface of planet Remina is a hellscape full of toxic gasses and fog, intestine-like tubes, and "trees" which look more like writhing balls of tentacles. Nearly all of it black as midnight.

* TooDumbToLive: An enormous monster planet devours most of the solar system and several stars on the way over, and intends to consume Earth as well. Clearly, ''that same monster planet'' is the top choice to flee to and colonize (to be fair, it's also the ''only'' place in the system that will survive its rampage). Some of the refugees even believe that it'll be a utopia, based on a few reports from the first explorers (before said reports stopped very suddenly).

** As it turns out, trying to colonize the planet-eating abomination is a bad idea, and it's large mass makes for stronger gravity, as Kunihiro complains.
* TheReveal: The tenacious cultist is [[spoiler:Goda, the president of Remina's fan club]], and the hobo is [[spoiler:the older Mineichi brother.]]
* RedHerring: It's implied that one of the astronauts that land on Planet Remina is the long-lost son of the Mineiachi family, who dreamed of becoming a astronaut and ran away from home after his father forbade it. [[spoiler:He's not, the son is actually The Hobo]]
* SanitySlippage: An increasingly large fraction of humanity undergoes this as Planet Remina moves ever closer to Earth. Soon enough, the only sane people left alive apart from Remina are a handful of bystanders [[spoiler:and the elder Mineichi son]]. [[spoiler:They also become the sole surviving members of the human race in the end.]]

* WhenTreesAttack: On the surface of Remina, gigantic tree-like organisms can be seen in the distance; whether they’re illusions or not is never confirmed, but let’s just say the people who land on Remina don’t stand a chance against them if they are real after all.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: The cultists have many, many occasions to kill Remina, but never actually get around to it. Somewhat justified since, being batshit crazy cultists, they want to make her demise a ritualistic sacrifice during which she has to go through as much suffering as she supposedly brought to the people of Earth. It's also likely they would have torn her apart were it not for the cultist acting as their leader to insist that Remina has to die via "ritual," likely just to prolong her agony.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: At one point, the earth is spun around so fast that the stars blur in the sky like the hyperspace lines in Star Wars. Aside from everyone not instantly dying from this, there is even a scene where a huge group of people are able to use the centrifugal force to fly through the air ''all the way around the earth and back'', and some of them even survive falling back to the ground. If the rest of the earth moves with you, you're not going to die from a little spinning. But if only the earth is spinning, and the air isn't, then...

--> '''Cultist''': [[AC: [[WeInterruptThisProgram We interrupt this broadcast]] to bring you a message. We represent a concerned group of citizens who love Mother Earth. [...] There remains but one way to save the earth. Find Professor Oguro and his daughter Remina. Destroy them.]]

* HumansAreBastards: For the most part, anyway. Panicking at the thought of the coming apocalypse, the populace direct their anger towards Remina and her father, [[spoiler:brutally murdering the latter and chasing the former around the earth.]]

* GuiltByAssociation: The mob will also kill anyone who's with Remina. However, if that person turns against Remina (like Kunihiro), the mob immediately accepts them or otherwise leave them be. But if that person wants ''nothing'' to do with the craziness (like the bum initially), the mob will try to kill the person anyway.

An astronomer in a Japanese observatory, peering into his telescope one night, becomes the first person to witness a planet emerging from a wormhole. He names the planet after his daughter, Remina, and both become world-famous thanks to the unprecedented discovery. However, things take a turn for the worse when the planet enters a collision course with Earth... [[TheStarsAreGoingOut and the stars along the way]] [[PlanetEater seem to be disappearing...]]

* DramaticUnmask: At one point, the head cultist's whip accidentally wraps around his hood and rips it off, revealing him to be... [[spoiler:a resentful Goda, former president of Remina's fanclub.]]

* FacialHorror: [[spoiler: The poor injured sap whose helmet was removed by other astronauts as a test for Planet Remina's breathability. Short version, his face gruesomely melts into a skull on the planet's atmosphere.]]
* FanService: By the last couple chapters, quite a bit of Remina's dress has been torn away thanks to all her various hardships. [[spoiler: There are even a couple [[PantyShot Panty Shots]].]]

* GeniusLoci: The titular Remina is a planet... well, actually more like an EldritchAbomination the size of a planet.

* NotSoDifferent: Notice how the head cultist's mask has vertical eye slits all too similar to Planet Remina's... not to mention his tongue. He's also a complete sadist who wants to see Remina suffer as much as possible, not unlike the planet itself does to Earth.

* RealityEnsues: When Remina, the Hobo and the mob are flying around the Earth, one member shoots the two of them and is sent hurtling away by the recoil. Another tries to hit them with a flying car, misses and turns around to try again, only for the wind to blow him into the ocean. The Hobo even states these exact reasons why their attempts failed.

* OhCrap: The astronomers' reaction every time Planet Remina eats something.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Ikeuchi the astronomer, once he realizes just what Planet Remina is.

* TheScapegoat: The hobo explains that this is why it the people have latched onto the idea that Remina the person is responsible for Remina the demon planet threatening the Earth, and that killing her will make it stop. They can't accept that their going to die and theirs nothing they can do to stop it. They can't accept that what's going to kill them is some vast unknowable thing for no great reason other that it sees them as food. They target Remina for having the monster named after her because they're trying to find something, anything that they can do that might save them. As the hobo puts it, it's the desperation to survive that causes them to scapegoat her.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Mineichi. He's happy to sponsor Remina to boost his popularity, but he's just as happy to [[spoiler:turn her over to an angry mob once associating with her threatens him.]]

** [[spoiler:It's possible that he meant it at the time that he said it, only to change his mind later when he comes to believe that Remina hates him.]]

* MacrossMissileMassacre / NukeEm: The military fires a few dozen nuclear warheads at Planet Remina's tongue. [[spoiler:They bounce off and return to the sender.]]

* SealedRoomInTheMiddleOfNowhere: [[spoiler:once Planet Remina eats the earth, the only survivors are trapped in an airtight fallout shelter drifting through the now-empty solar system. They have enough supplies to last a year.]]

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Planet Remina successfully devours the earth.]]

* OmnicidalManiac: Planet Remina is pure evil, and is a threat to the solar system and the entire universe.

* OmnicidalManiac: [[CompleteMonster Planet Remina]] is pure evil, and is a threat to the solar system and the entire universe.

* FacialHorror: [[spoiler: The poor injured sap who has his helmet removed by others on on Planet Remina. His face gruesomely melts into a skull.]]

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: The poor sap who takes his helmet off on on Planet Remina.]]
