History YMMV / SleeplessDomain

* JerkassHasAPoint: She was really rude and judgemental about it, but the red-themed magical girl who yells at Zoe for coming to the school in spite of not fighting has garnered some sympathy, since she's arguably right that it's unfair. The good education is considered a reward (and the classes are organized to fit around magical girls' schedules of fighting at night). The issue is complicated by the fact that even the registration leaflet outright mentions that neither registering nor going to Future's Hope means you are ''obligated'' to take part in the fight.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Sleepless Domain follows a similar path as ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' in that it starts off appearing like a standard cutesy magical girl plot only to have reality crash down around the protagonists [[SacrificialLion in the worst way possible.]] Much of Sleepless Domain is dedicated to how Undine and Tessa try to move past the traumatic event of the rest of their team getting slaughtered during a routine mission.

** Zoe now appears to have taken the crucial step..

** Zoe, who has had only three appearances over the course of the comic, scored fifth place in the popularity contest held during chapter 9, scoring just ten votes below Gwen and more than 120 votes above the next character down, Bud.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Oh, a cute and lighthearted magical girl co--''NOPE NOT REALLY!''

** Gwen ended up being the most popular of the three members of team Alchemical that brought it.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Before she and her team were properly introduced, Outrageous Lime had fans interested in her (the name certainly helped) and even some fanart. The author remarked on [[https://twitter.com/cubewatermelon/status/941606314060500992 Twitter]]:
-->Outrageous Lime's magical girl power is to be disproportionately popular for someone who only showed up in one panel XD

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: All of the combos.
** [[spoiler: Tessa attempting healing magic, the hardest form of magic, to save her group, even though she doesn't know what'll happen. Also doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.]]
** [[spoiler: [[TheHeart Quiet and nice Undine]], who recently saw three of her best friends die and had one stripped of her MagicalGirlWarrior powers to save her, is still planning on carrying on the fight.]]
** [[spoiler: Heartful Punch pulling a BigDamnHeroes.]]
** Heartful Punch is a one-person team, and a successful one at that.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:
** A worried and saddened Undine says after the fight between Sally and Tessa that she only wants to help people. Gwen's answer is to put a reassuring hand on her shoulder and say with confidence: We will.
** Undine telling Tessa to not care about Sylvia and Sally's complaints, and Tessa saying that if the girls do well that night without her, it will be a boost of confidence.
** [[spoiler: Tessa was worried for Sylvia's family. Why? Because Sylvia was the sole breadwinner and she left her mother free to stay at home with all the money she earned.]]
** [[spoiler: Undine still isn't willing to give up the fight.]]
** [[spoiler: Whenever Undine uses her magical powers after being healed by Tessa, her pupils turn pink.]]
** [[spoiler: Heartful Punch pulling a BigDamnHeroes.]]
** [[spoiler: Heartful Punch offers to let Undine tag along despite not being on the same team, because it's dangerous outside alone.]]
** [[spoiler: Undine's reaction to the above is thinking she almost forgot there were still girls like Heartful Punch out there.]]
** [[spoiler: When Heartful Punch finds out about what happened to Team Alchemical, she's afraid Undine hates her and says she can't stand when people she barely knows hate her.]]
** [[spoiler: Undine standing up for Zoe, a timid girl being harassed for not going to the nightly patrols.]]
** [[spoiler: Heartful Punch having lunch with Undine, keeping her company and assuring her that wanting to get better is ok.]]
** [[spoiler: Hertful Punch advises Undine against fighting alone if she can avoid it though admitting she has no right to dictate, and telling Undine her real name. Undine loves it.]]

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Gwen's EstablishingCharacterMoment: she pulls a StealthHiBye on Undine, saying she has been there for a while.
** While waiting for the night, we see glimpses of how the girls kill their time. Sally, the resident FieryRedhead, is spotted watching a soap opera or chick flick and tearing up.
** Gwen's notes for the class? "MAGIC." Sally says she's disgusted Gwen has better grades than her.
** The name of Gwen and Sally's attack combo is "Lava Whatever." When Sylvia says they really should come up with something better, Gwen just shrugs.
** Sally, being the only one who has no way of flying or similar, first having to climb then having to be carried by Sylvia bridal style, with a huge frown on her face.
** The AltText of the page provides the explanation why Sally cannot fly: [[NoodleIncident she apparently tried to use her powers like a jetboot once, but "never again."]]
** Heartful Punch's YouSaidX reaction to Undine's VerbalBackspace.
** Finding out Heartful Punch's real name. [[spoiler: It's Kokoro.]] Undine calls it cute, which makes HP recoil saying this is exactly why she almost never uses it.
