YMMV / A Young Woman's Political Record

Go To

  • Creepy Cute: The gun test scene includes a disturbingly waffy bit where Tanya and Visha reminisce about the scent of mud, spent gunpowder, blood, and ruptured innards (the latter two coming from a freshly shredded pig) and how it takes them back to the battlefield.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Jimmy the college student from the unofficial future omakes is catching on in popularity. Fans are having fun with his raging against Tanya's contribution to what seems to be all fields of life.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Elya being portrayed as a full-blown spymaster based off offhanded comments about being in the Intelligence Service turns out to be this when the Manga shows her outright infiltrating and outmaneuvering the Albish Intelligence forces.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • The unofficial omake chapter "In Consequence to a Misunderstanding". The story is about a woman named Caroline, whose husband Klaus is a devoted supporter and high ranking member of Germania's Communist Party. She watches her husband's party going from the country's 2nd largest party to an ineffectual minority after many of its leaders were arrested, died or injured in unusual circumstances and accidents. All of this hits the party's reputation hard to the point many members and supporters either quit and leave the country or join Tanya's Germanian Worker's Party due to her successful policies. Despite her pleas to her husband to call it quits, Klaus refuses to give up on the party and goes to Berun to organize a counterattack with the remnants of the Communist Party - only to be disappeared. Caroline is told by the police and some witnesses that Klaus ran away with another woman and fled the country. Refusing to believe her husband would cheat on her and believing Tanya had something do with her husband's disappearance, Caroline seeks help with another Communist member named Zoe, only for the chapter to end with the reveal that Zoe was actually an undercover agent of Elya's, who's tricked Caroline into committing suicide by sleeping pills.
    • Another unofficial omake, "Let Me Sing the Song of My People" has Elya rummaging around De Lugo's office, where among his mail he finds her timeline's version of Boris Vian's anti-war poem Le Déserteur, basically saying the author doesn't want to join the army and asking De Lugo to please arrest or even kill him, but not force him to kill. Slightly annoyed by the letter's tone, Elya orders an adjutant to find the writer and have him killed with confiscated weapons to make a martyr of him.
