History Manga / TasogareOtomeXAmnesia

''Tasogare Otome x Amnesia'' (aka ''Dusk Maiden of Amnesia'') is a [[GenreBusting tragedy/horror/supernatural/shounen/mystery/romance/ecchi]] manga by Creator/{{Maybe}} (and yes, that's the creator's [[OnlyOneName name]]).

* ThePowerOfHate: How Yuuko [[spoiler:[[StringyHairedGhostGirl comes back the first time]].]]

** At the end of chapter 38, [[spoiler:Yukariko]] wears this alongside HiddenEyes.
** [[spoiler: Yuuko died with this expression, having sworn to give herself up to hatred and kill everyone involved in her death.]]

* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Shadow Yuuko, combined with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily. A large part of ''why'' she's terrifying.]]

* StringyHairedGhostGirl: When she first hears of her, Kirie suspects this of Yuuko, though [[CuteGhostGirl she's actually far from it.]] [[spoiler: Chapter 40 reveals Yuuko really ''was'' once a textbook example of an onryo, having been consumed by rage and hatred towards her village - and especially her sister - when she died. However, she couldn't bring herself to kill Yukariko, leaving her grudge unfulfilled, and eventually cast aside her negative emotions and memories, which manifested as Shadow Yuuko.]]

* TrueSight: Though everyone can see ''something'' of Yuuko if they expect something to be there (often of the horrific sort, which changes how she looks to them), only Teiichi and Kirie can see Yuuko and [[spoiler:the second, cast-off version of Yuuko]] as they really are. [[spoiler:Strangely, Yuuko's sister can see shadow Yuuko, as well, but not the normal Yuuko.]]

** [[spoiler: Yukariko also suffered from this event. She sacrified her sister because she was most important to her and authentically believed that it was the way to cure the plague. Problem was that it didn't. Everyone around her died and her father committed suicide over Yuuko's death. The cherry on top was seeing Yuuko's shadow ghost and having it try to kill her. When it chose to spare her, she took it to mean that Yuuko wanted her to suffer by living. For the rest of her life, she'd continue to be haunted by her sins since she only ever saw Yuuko's shadow, and never the other part of her.]]

* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: [[spoiler:Soon after Yuuko's death, Yukariko reopens the shrine and goes down to see her sister's body. She ends up crying and resting with her head in the dead Yuuko's lap.]]

* StringyHairedGhostGirl: When she first hears of her, Kirie suspects this of Yuuko, though [[CuteGhostGirl she's actually far from it.]] [[spoiler: Chapter 40 reveals Yuuko really ''was'' once a textbook example of an onryo, having been consumed by rage and hatred towards her village and especially her sister when she died. However, she couldn't bring herself to kill Yukariko, leaving her grudge unfulfilled, and eventually cast aside her negative emotions and memories, which manifested as Shadow Yuuko.]]
* TheTease: Yuuko.

''Tasogare Otome x Amnesia'' (aka ''Dusk Maiden of Amnesia'') is a [[GenreBusting tragedy/horror/supernatural/shounen/mystery/romance/ecchi]] manga by Maybe (and yes, that's the creator's [[OnlyOneName name]]).

* UncannyFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: Kirie is Yuuko's grandniece. A resemblance, particularly of the eyes, was hinted at as soon as Kirie showed up, but in Chapter 20, she gets put into a long-haired HimeCut wig ... and the resemblance just ''jumps'' right out -- except for her [[ACupAngst figure]] (and the CatGirl ears). It's even noted by Kirie's grandmother, Yukariko, who is Yuuko's younger sister.]]

* {{Megane}} / {{Meganekko}}: Teiichi, Sahara and [[spoiler:Kirishima Yuuko in the past]].

* NonhumanLoverReveal: Teiichi doesn't realize Yuuko is a ghost when he first meets her, [[spoiler:though he doesn't fall in love with her until later]].

* PsychoticSmirk: At the end of chapter 38, [[spoiler:Yukariko]] wears this alongside HiddenEyes.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: There's so much between Teiichi and Yuuko it's not even funny.
** [[spoiler: They finally confessed their feelings in chapter 18.]]

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Apparently other than being invisible or having their appearance affected by those who do see them, ghosts aren't much different from humans in abilities.
** Shadow Yuuko seems to have a few tricks, however.

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:Yuuko's younger sister Yukariko betrayed her and selected her to be the HumanSacrifice to stop a plague that infested their village. Yuuko returned as an evil spirit to get her revenge on Yurahiko, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to kill her sister.]]

* BreakTheCutie: Yuuko's past. [[spoiler: Was killed by other villagers and her own beloved sister by having her leg broken and thrown into a basement to slowly die.]]

* [[CaughtTheHeartOnHisSleeve Caught The Heart On Her Sleeve]]: When Yuuko decides to walk out of Teiichi's life, this is his response.

* PetitePride: Played with. Kirei isn't particularly proud of her small chest, but [[LesYay Momoe thinks rather highly of it.]]

** ThePowerOfLove: How she [[spoiler:[[CuteGhostGirl comes back the second time]].]]

** [[spoiler: In Chapter 45.1 they investigate a [[GlasgowGrin Slit-Mouthed Woman]].]]

* [[DyingDeclarationOfLove Dying Declaration of Hate]]: Yuuko dies while swearing revenge on [[spoiler:Yukariko and the others who sacrificed her.]]

* [[spoiler:EnemyWithout: Shadow Yuuko.]]

* {{Fanservice}}: Yuuko, my god. And it's surprising, seeing as there are few to no panty-flashes, the fanservice often being done with Yuuko fully dressed.
** FanDisservice: [[spoiler: As mentioned below, Corpse-Yuuko. Still in a towel.]]

* GhostShipping: Teiichi and Yuuko become a couple.

* [[spoiler: HopelessSuitor: Both [[GenkiGirl Momoe]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Kirie]] have crushes on Niiya, but the OfficialCouple is Yuuko and Niiya.]]

* [[spoiler:LaserGuidedAmnesia: Yuuko can apparently cast off any memories that cause her pain or distress. These coalesce into Shadow Yuuko, who, being forced to take on Yuuko's jealousy for Teichii, decided that this time she was going to take all of Yuuko's memories of Teichii from her as well - ''including'' the happy ones.]]

* MayflyDecemberRomance: Yuuko has been fifteen for something like fifty years. She'll be fifteen for the ''next'' fifty years, unless she moves on, or gets reincarnated, or whatever. Teiichi is twelve. Fifty years from now, while Yuuko is still fifteen, he'll be....

* [[spoiler:MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: Soon after Yuuko's death, Yukariko reopens the shrine and goes down to see her sister's body. She ends up crying and resting with her head in the dead Yuuko's lap.]]

* [[RaisedByGrandparents Raised by Grandmother]]: Kirie was raised by her Grandma Yukariko, Yuuko's little sister.

* [[spoiler:ShadowArchetype: Shadow Yuuko is explicitly everything Yuuko's repressed and denied about herself, especially any hurtful memories, unconsciously separated from her to spare her the mental suffering.]]

* EmotionlessGirl: [[spoiler: Yuuko was one prior to meeting Teiichi, as she had cast aside [[ThePowerOfHate the one emotion that kept her rooted in the world of the living]].]]

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Yuuko sees no reason for modesty in her ghost form, stripping out of one school uniform to put on another right in front of Teiichi, and not bothered at all when, despite having turned away, he gets a ''good'' look in a mirror. When Teiichi finds her actual corpse, fifty-some years dead, however, it's another story entirely -- she's utterly embarrassed, saying that her bones are as naked as a person can possibly get, begs him to cover the body, and calls him a pervert for not doing so immediately. [[spoiler: The reason she has no modesty over her ghostly body is that all of her negative emotions have been dumped onto shadow-Yuuko]].

* InnocentFanserviceGirl / ShamelessFanserviceGirl: An odd combination. Yuuko sees no reason for modesty in her ghost form, stripping out of one school uniform to put on another right in front of Teiichi, and not bothered at all when, despite having turned away, he gets a ''good'' look in a mirror. When Teiichi finds her actual corpse, fifty-some years dead, however, it's another story entirely -- she's utterly embarrassed, saying that her bones are as naked as a person can possibly get, begs him to cover the body, and calls him a pervert for not doing so immediately.

It's even noted by Kirie's grandmother, Yukariko, who is Yuuko's younger sister.

* ShipTease: [[spoiler: Before they finally spit it out]] Yuuko and Teiichi have this a lot. There are also hints of Kirei/Momoe.

** However the trope is later averted when it's revealed by [[spoiler: Yuuko's still living sister]] that there are only six mysteries and that the seventh never existed in the first place, simply being a product of the belief that seven of them sounds better. It's played straight again though at the end when Teiichi creates a new one, [[spoiler: Yuuko's Lover.]]

** [[spoiler:It's revealed as of Chapter 33 by Yuuko's still living sister that there are only six mysteries and that the seventh never existed in the first place, simply being a product of the belief that seven of them sounds better. Played straight again though when Teiichi creates a new one.]]

** [[spoiler:It has recently been revealed as of Chapter 33 by Yuuko's still living sister that there are only six mysteries and that the seventh never existed in the first place. [[EpilepticTrees What this means has yet to be revealed.]]]]

** Also [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Moe Momoe]]. [[IncrediblyLamePun Yeah...]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Yuuko's death. Because of superstitious rumors, several adults (and her own beloved little sister) sacrificed her to village god. By entrapping her in a dark CreepyBasement and breaking her leg so that she couldn't escape, so she would end up dying very slowly and painfully in there.]]
