History YMMV / ToTheStars

* [[RewatchBonus Reread Bonus]]: Many events and plot elements get subtle foreshadowing in previous scenes, sometimes even two Volumes prior, that can often only be picked on after their revelation. For example, [[spoiler:rereading the meeting between Mami, Kyouko and Yuma in chapter 14 after knowing that Mami has undergone a [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Reformat]] in the past and that the two others are aware of it and probably ordered it put some passages under a completely different light.]]

** Ryouko is told [[spoiler:in chapter 48 that she was genetically modified before her birth (a ''huge'' taboo and source of ostracizing in human society) and that her parents were brainwashed to forget about it, the only reaction she could muster was to grab Asami, teleport them in a secluded place and [[HeroicBSOD cry uncontrollably]].]]

* {{Tearjerker}}: [[spoiler:[[ShrinkingViolet Asami]] finally gathers the courage to confess to [[ObliviousToLove Ryouko]]... at the same time Ryouko is getting notified by Clarisse (her AI, not the MG) that she's being transferred.]]
** Turned into a heartwarming moment [[spoiler:in chapter 32 when after Ryouko's return from her mission and Asami's "resurrection", they start a relationship.]]

* ShipToShipCombat: While [[spoiler:[[ShrinkingViolet Asami]]/[[ObliviousToLove Ryouko]]]], being the most developed couple is popular enough, there are a few fans who are interested in pairing Ryouko with [[BigBrotherInstinct Simona]], [[TheStrategist Mami]], [[SexyPriest Kyouko]], [[BadassBookworm Clarisse]], and even [[ScrewYourself the]] [[BenevolentAI other]] [[DeadpanSnarker Clarisse]]. There is ShipTease all over the place and Ryouko is noted to resemble Madoka, who is herself the subject of this. In-universe, Ryouko is also considered as a LauncherOfAThousandShips [[spoiler: thanks in part to her extraordinary heritage and recent actions in the story]]. So far, the winner is [[spoiler:Asami/Ryouko, with them starting a relationship as of chapter 32]].
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: In-universe, Ryouko has two girls who are explicitly in love with her, idolizes Mami, and gets Kyouko's attention. This was before it was revealed that Ryouko is related to not one, but two Matriarchies, after which she starts getting offers of marriage from people she's never met. Then she [[spoiler: becomes the Hero of Orpheus. At this point, [[UnwantedHarem at least one other magical girl has tried to seduce her, and it's explicitly spelled out as just the start.]]]]

* CanonDiscontinuity: ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion The Rebellion]]'' Movie; ''To The Stars'' started when when the possibility of season 2 were just vague rumors, and was well under way when the continuation movie was announced, so Hieronym preemptively stated that movie would most likely not be relevant to ''[=TtS=]'' on the very high chance that it will [[{{Jossed}} joss]] the entire premise of the fic as it almost always happens in cases like this, unless it somehow complemented the fic, [[spoiler: which is kinda funny when by some coincidence the Movie turned to be VERY similar, but ultimately different, to what Hieronym had in mind for the hypothetical post-''[=TtS=]'' story]].
