Synopsis

In a futuristic Japan, astrologist Tsuneo Ooguro has made a monumental achievement: he has discovered a new planet from another universe. The discovery propels the professor into the public eye, where he is met with accolades, acclaim, and the rights to name the planet. Deciding to let his daughter Remina serve as the namesake, the shy girl quickly finds herself thrust into an uneasy life of stardom.

Unlike its human counterpart, planet Remina shows nothing but odd behavior. Its movements are unpredictable and show no clear orbital patterns. Even more mysterious, any star it nears soon disappears. The enigma heightens when Professor Ooguro's assistant claims that planet Remina has stopped moving and looked him directly in the eye. Before going mad, the assistant announces one final thing: the planet is now heading toward Earth.

Soon enough, planet Remina enters the solar system, leaving a trail of emptiness and causing worldwide panic. In an instant, popular adoration transforms into hostility; the populace have declared that the Ooguros have orchestrated this disaster and must be destroyed to avert it. Now deemed Public Enemy No. 1, Remina must escape a rabid population, all while the looming threat of the hellstar approaches.

Remina is cosmic horror in it's purist form.

A Lovecraftian planet is here to devour our solar system. Not the planet, EVERYTHING!

The art is beautiful, the perspective stunning and the sense of movement in the panels will cause you to flip the pages at the speed of light.

It does have a flaw though. Unlike his other works there is a sense of hopelessness here. Remina is going to devour everything so no matter what the characters do or don't do it's sorta pointless.

The manga does point your focus to the individuals, how fear turned correlation to causation leading to mass hysteria... but again from the very ...

Mixed Feelings
Let's see, the story was predictable as anyone would consider if you read the synopsis, still a decent story though, but some subplots aren't just predictable but pointless.
Ito's art is impeccable, it starts simple but becomes more and more impressive as the story goes on, the absurd plot and realistic art brings an odd sensation that ito mastered in Uzumaki and did a good job in Hellstar Remina as well.
The characters are okay? Maybe? I don't know, they all seemed classic archetypes that we see in every horror story, a naive protagonist, the richs being cowards and always thinking about themselves, the scientist ...
