I started reading this after Convenience Store Woman and found that I enjoyed Earthlings a little more because of how longer it is. Dear God, poor Natsuki. I don't know what to say. This book has moments of depravity, but then it goes in in the final chapter. Please heed the warnings, because there is a scene of graphic CSA.

silvasketches's review against another edition
If you're considering reading this book, please take a moment to read the trigger warnings first. Don't make the same mistake I did and dive in blindly. I managed to get through 32% of it, but it was too much for me to handle.
I previously enjoyed another book by this author, the convenience store one, and I adored the main character. She was incredibly interesting. However, the male character in this book made the reading experience unpleasant for me, although I did enjoy the other aspects of the story. I hoped this one would be better.
Initially, I was drawn to the innocence of the main character and the magical girl/ alien elements in this book, so I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately, I was quickly bombarded with trigger after trigger. I attempted to continue reading, but the content related to school was simply overwhelming.
I'm hopeful that I'll be able to forget what I read soon.
