History YMMV / DuskMaidenOfAmnesia

* EsotericHappyEnding: The manga ends with the ''heavy'' implication that [[spoiler:Yuuko dragged Teiichi to the other side]]. Yay? The epilogue repairs this by [[spoiler:showing that Teiichi is still alive and that Yuuko is still around to be with him. It also ends with the implication that they'll spend the rest of their after/lives together without Teiichi dying]].

** The revelation late into the series that Teiichi is only 12 years old. That's not even going into the fact that Yuuko is literally old enough to be his grandmother.

* {{Narm}}: When Kirishima is about to be sacrificed, her captors choose to tear open her shirt and invoke some {{Gainaxing}} rather than actually hurt her.

* FanonDiscontinuity: While the series has a happy ending with [[spoiler: Yuuko coming back to stay with Taichi]] in episode 13, a lot of fans prefer the more bittersweet nature of episode 12 where [[spoiler: Yuuko disappears after a heartfelt goodbye to Taichi]], and thus pretend that the series ended there.

** Yukariko [[spoiler: breaking Yuuko's leg and entrapping her in a basement for her to die]].

** [[spoiler:Yukariko and the desperate village elders sacrificing Yuuko to end the plague. The sad part is that this was a completely SenselessSacrifice: the plague continued after the sacrifice and might simply have been a new plague that 1950s doctors couldn't identify.]]

** The author confesses to not being interested in adult women in the commentary on the swimsuits in the chapter 13 omake, but with the way the original Japanese sentence is worded, it could be interpreted as "This corner doesn't call for the adults" instead of a fan translator's interpretation as "I have no need for an adult"; the former would make more sense since the manga was serialized in a {{Shonen}} magazine.

* MemeticMutation: Yuuko is "the softest".[[note]]In the early days of the manga's fanbase on 4chan, anons posted that Maybe "draws the softest bitches, the softest" (referring to the team's [=NSFW=] doujins). Then a discussion began about which girls were the softest, which concluded with Yuuko as the answer because she was a ghost drawn by Maybe. This association has remained ever since.[[/note]]

** The author confesses to not being interested in adult women in the commentary on the swimsuits in the chapter 13 omake.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome:

* BrokenAesop: Quite a few times the Paranormal Investigation Team decides to use Yuuko's ghostly presence as an excuse for another characters actions rather than have the character accept what they've done (they usually still learn their lesson, but [[KarmaHoudini receive no punishment for dangerous and/or illegal acts]]). Most of the time their actions end with "Oh look! It really was a ghost and I'm completely innocent!"

* NecessaryFail: In the anime, this happens for Yuuko and in many ways, gave her suffering much more meaning and hope than even in the manga itself. During her flashbacks, it was revealed that Yuuko made friends with a young girl who was suffering from the plague. Later on, [[spoiler: the mob kidnaps the girl to be sacrificed and when Yuuko shows up, the girl calls out her name, causing the mob to turn their sights on Yuuko, saving the girl but causing Yuuko to be sacrificed instead. Later on, it was revealed that this girl was actually the grandmother of Teiichi. Once Yuuko found out, she was overcome with both joy and emotions, realizing that through her sacrifice, she both saved a girl very dear to her and also ensured that Teiichi, the one whom she loved, would also come into existence.]]

* {{Narm}}: When Kirishima is about to be sacrificed, her captors choose to tear open her shirt and invoke some {{Gainaxing}} rather than actually hurt her. For this troper, the drama and suspense was immediately diffused.

* GhostShipping: Teiichi and Yuuko become a couple.

* AdaptationDistillation: Some of the manga chapters have not been included as episodes, and one character, the school nurse, Takamatsu-san, has been written out of two stories entirely.
