I'm making this topic to see how many people will see/read it. This manga has been causing fits on twitter every time a new chapter is release. So i want to see if there is geniune interest or is it just short lived drama...for Drama Queen.
Drama Queen
Mangaka: Kuraku Ichakawa Besides this the only thing they have done is a one shot called, "Iki suru Koto sura Yurusanai." Apparently, he was born and raised in Okinawa. So, he has a lot of experience of how foreigners behave in Japan.
Story is a meteor almost destroyed the Earth but the planet was saved by the intervention of an alien race the look like cartoon elephant-squids. Who then proceeded to migrate to Earth which was allowed out of gratitude of the grateful humans for saving the Earth. The alien exploit this gratitude to allow themselves to act like the worst tourists and immigrants you can think of. Some humans begin to suspect that the aliens were the ones that set up the meteor to arrange a staged engineered heroic scenario as an excuse to colonize Earth without a war. Eventually, criminal organizations were formed to get rid of the really annoying ones for a price. We follow two of these killers Nomamoto and her partner KItami. Their importance is they were able to find a way to dispose of the aliens' corpses without a trace. If you try to bury them they will eventually surface as they decompose and leave an awful rancid stench.
Nomamoto is a 17 year old girl...Yes, she is apparently a girl. Who left home and is estrange with her parents. She hates the aliens for their rude manners, they keep hitting her on accident then refuse to apologize, and wishes they would go away. She worked at a factory till she was fired after her alien boss caught on fire and did nothing to help while in a state of shock. Her importance is she is able to stomach eating the aliens' corpses. She comes off as very crude and dumb.
Kitami, his family was killed in car accident when an alien crashed into their car, then drove off, and left them to die. Which cause him to develop a deep hatred off all aliens till eventually he finally killed one. He took it to Nomamoto's place because they had bonded about their hatred of aliens and wanted someone to help dispose of it. Where she then got the idea to eat it. He is the brains and the muscle of the two.
Iglaskar is their boss who found them after a week of them killing aliens. He is a fixer that deal with eliminating aliens and he hires them because he wants to know their unique way of disposing of aliens.
Backbone is a woman that works for Iglaskar and works as support for the two in the field.
Honestly, it is just another Hitman story, there is 8 other stories that have a similar theme to it that WSJ produces each week. It's more than half its current line up. The alien changing the world not uncommon either, Gintama comes to mind. It comes off as crude light humor. It reminds me of stories like FLCL or biscuit and hammer, or chainsaw man. It just feels people are taking offense to it to take offense. Even with the immigrant angle Japan has been having issues with foreigners, especially Americans, going over to stream themselves acting like Jackasses to see how much they can annoy the befuddled Japanese.
