It took only 2 volumes for the horror part to settle in this slice-of-life story set after an alien invasion.
Anyway, great read.

anxiety inducing sort of atmosphere, and feels very, horribly politically relevant. this volume picks up towards the end. humans are shit.
I liked it a lot in the same measure as volume 1. I’m definitely seeing where Asano is trying to take this series and I’m liking it a lot. The political side of the story could drag sometimes for me though. I love every second we have with the girls. And their high-school relationships are so sweet and yet fleeting making it feel quite real. I do love the overweight older brother so much, quickly becoming my favorite.

This is a slice of life manga with a twist: all the characters are living with an alien invasion literally hanging over their heads. The mother ship is over Tokyo. Japan has figured out how to destroy the smaller saucers, so their are small sorties regularly over the city, but otherwise not much happens. The characters exist in a sort of frightened boredom as regular life continues.
Not all of this worked for me, but overall I am just so curious to find out if it goes somewhere, and I liked the hints of more nefarious things at work, as well as the way the stories intersected.
Oh, a note on the rating, which is "Mature": most of the characters are teenagers, and they talk and have experiences that teens actually have -- which means this is very sweary and there's some sex or references to sex. At this point I wouldn't hesitate to give this to an older teen to read, although I don't know if it's going to get more graphic as it goes on.
