YMMV / Midori Days

Go To

  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Many fans seem to prefer Seiji/Ayase more than Seiji/Midori.
  • Ho Yay: One-sided from Kouta as he gets to know Seiji in the manga. He eventually draws Seiji as a Bishōnen, which then leads to a series of events that culminates in some entirely innocent intimate healing.
  • One True Threesome: Kouta briefly fantasizes about being in one with Seiji and Midori.
  • Quirky Work: The series is about a girl who ends up as her crush's right hand, the hijinks that come from trying to hide it, and all the weirdos that they run into along the way.
  • Toy Ship: Shiori and Tohyama.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic:
    • Even once Midori knows what she needs to do in order to return to her body, she does not do it right away. Even when her mother is in a constantly-exhausted state and bleeding money attempting to bring her back to life, and her friends are begging her to come back to life, Midori refuses. While her reasoning is that she'd lose her memories of the time spent with Seiji, it comes off as very selfish.
    • A big reason many fans prefer pairing Seiji with Ayase comes from seeing Midori as a rather unsympathetic character who has little regard for Seiji's happiness if it doesn't involve her. While Ayase organically develops feelings for Seiji, Midori borderline stalked him from afar prior to the series beginning.
  • Values Resonance: Kouta is a bisexual boy who's shown in a mostly positive light in a manga that isn't bara, yaoi, otokonoko, or even shōjo. While he doesn't get either Love Interest, he isn't treated like a freak.
  • Woolseyism: Kouta spews off an idealistic speech about the beauty of understanding, throwing in a reference to the Earth as a spaceship:
    Gang member: (Japanese version) Shut him up!
    Gang member: (English version) That's it! I'm killin' the Trekkie!
