Jesus christ its got anti war messaging that goes beyond the it's bad to kill people. Also a lot of great moments like the Christmas dinner.
Only thing keeping this from a 4.5 is that we are starting to introduce too many characters and too many names. Start developing the ones you have or kill some off because it's getting a bit hard to keep everyone straight.

2 volumes in and I’m loving this series, all the characters are great, and the storyline is something I’ve sort of fantasized about over the years.

I came across a review where someone said, "This is one of those books where I have no idea why I like it," and I have to admit—I kind of feel the same way!

More slacking during the alien apocalypse. Reading about their relative normalcy in the midst of basically a prolonged 'Independence Day' scenario with no end in sight, it still rings true his far into the Covid pandemic despite being written before it. The dialogue is fun and full of energy and the artwork might be the best I've ever seen. I haven't read Inio Asano's other works because I've heard they're intense, so its nice to read this story that the magnaka admits to being a "fun series" by comparison. The sci-fi elements are great too, and like a lot of my favorite manga it's about the mundanity and confusion of the future, taking a backseat to the characters, but there's an interesting reveal here with the aliens and I'm excited to see how that will develop.
