Witzig, schräg, und super unterhaltsam, mit ner fetten Prise Gesellschaftskritik - da bleib ich am Ball :3

This story follows two school girls who are best friends as they get on with every day life - crushes, family drama, homework - three years after the beginning of an alien invasion. I love that this centred the experience of people so disconnected from the centre of the invasion, and it’s especially interesting reading it in the pandemic… an external, existential crisis that certainly has impacted everyone to varying degrees, but most of us aren’t on the front lines, and we’ve still got mundane stuff to worry about. It’s surreal and slice-of-life all in one.

I’m looking forward to reading more instalments… although, having read my fair share of Inio Asano, I don’t have faith that this won’t break the characters (and me) at some point. 💁🏻‍♀️

The artwork is absolutely immaculate, and the attention to detail is amazing. The characters are loveable weirdos, and there's humor. The ending made me want to pick up the next volume

A slice of life story that just happens to take place during an alien invasion/occupation.

A solid premise with a couple of young protagonists that I enjoyed following around. Will definitely carry on with volume 2.
