Uchuujin no Kakushigoto - Ch. 23 - Spring (Haru)

[ILOVECODY]

Its kinda dark, philosophical, nihilistic and even the slightest bit wholesome in a way.
It just the idea of the endless cycle of destruction and rebirth.
Where they have no control over what is going on; other than their souls bing intertwined.
This is shown by the two characters at the end kind of mimicking the actions seen at the start of the manga.
However in a very distorted way, more over this can also be seen with that Male character saying that random girls name.
He is at that moment having flash back from his past lives and is remembering the name (Shuru) which is presumably of one of the Haru's past incarnations.

Thanks everyone at Speedstar Scanlation for working so hard on translating this series.

This guy gets it.

I'm going to miss the threads for this series, as well as the tug-of-war over the Comedy tag.

It truly was a thread for the ages.

Sometimes I read a lot of meaningful, existential manga on here and invariably the comments section often resorts to treating these series as "funny" or as being ultimately meaningless.

This one is no different. Gosh I'd launch into explanation mode as I often do including how it's not just a "cycle" but I'm so, so tired of it. Which I guess is more of a me problem, why am I expecting foreign manga readers who come to a website full of free manga to be anything else in general...and why do I even bother with the comments if I'm so consistently annoyed by them.

Maybe I just like to think and hope we aren't like the old humans in this story.

Author overcooked it. It was... fine.

 

[Naraji]

Man this stinks

I think people including myself subconsciously decide if we like something then work backwards to see the meaning in it, or lack thereof.

I thought this was OK but nothing stuck with me other than the first abrupt gory death. No moral.

 

[DeOneChester]

Basically the plot to dark souls

 

[motheblackcat]

Told ya author gonna do some cryptic ending (so things are the same in the end). Great romcom though!

 

[TophatKiyaki]

I don't know what I was expecting, but... it wasn't this.
Disappointing end to a disappointing story, to be honest. At first I thought it would just be a weird romcom. Then it turned into this half grimdark half romcom where everyone's an objectively shit person, with a tingle of psychological horror.
Then the ending is just... we replaced humanity with humanity, and Haru might be doing the exact same thing she did before... again?
The fuck was the point of the entire story then? Why convert the class pres into whatever new alien? Why do...anything? It doesn't even feel like Haru succeeded in her supposed goal at the end.

The whole thing feels like a first project that a super nihilist cooked up to bitch about humanity, but they didn't have anything noteworthy to say so they just sort of pretended they did and hoped everyone bought it.

Its like someone read The Xeelee Sequence and then went "Hmmm, what if I too made a story about humans being insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe, but I made it about a high school waifu" and then didn't remember until after they had already started that they didn't know how to write about aliens.

Fuck, man.

 

[BlazexxxBR]

What is this goofy ahh ending bro. Just...wtf...

 

[Spiffyjunior]

pretty disappointing. was this axed? last few chapters felt really rushed

 

[Aqudelavedgadesu]

Thank you Author 10/10 will do it again.

 

[rrrrrr333333]

Hamita definitely thought he was a genius as he wrote out the last few pages. What a dumb ending

 

[Remedil]

What if hoomans were aliens all along??!?!

 

[RiceIST00]

yeah I Know this gonna be garbage after the chud kill himself after getting cheated on by girl he's trying to cheat with

 

[KanzakiYuu]

I thought I had reading comprehension problem but when I checked the forums it seems like there tens of people who also do not get what the hell happened so I'm sure it's the manga's problem.

The ending doesn't make sense and neither does Haru's behavior in the finale. Even using her standards that's just messed up. She says her species can regenerate after being killed but you can't be killed if you can't die in the first place. She acknowledges condescendingly that humans aren't capable of such feat thus making them the lesser species. If her species can come back to life, how do they know what makes up a person (or alien)? You would think if you're immortal you don't need such weapon, and if she had to use it for whatever reason, on what basis does "same cells, same DNA, same memories and same chromosomes" make the same person?? We can see the contradiction with how the copy of Karagki behaves nothing like her original self at all. Wouldn't that be proof that she is not Karagaki?

Shit doesn't make sense. I was hoping author would manage to cook something with only 7 chapters remaining but unfortunately they took the easy way of criticizing laid back modern society. Hard time create strong men, strong men create weak men yadda yadda yadda.

Edit: Looking at their work, they should totally continue the porn maid robot series. Now's a good time.

 

[Phan_Minh_Khoi]

Well, that was a waste of time.

 

[ErikTheRed]

And so the cycle starts again...

 

[solax636]

Am I dumb or does this author want to write unsatisfying endings?

So what you're saying is you form un-validated preconceptions and biases, then judge a work while under the influence of those?

I'm not saying one should be so uptight as to scrutinize a work the moment you pick it up, but what you describe sounds a heck of a lot like lazy and bias-ridden thinking and would explain a lot of false and broken expectations I see on the more exotic manga on the site.

Looking at other comments, both for this manga and many others, you would think that half of all mangaka are purposefully making "funny" unfunny troll stories or are people with mediocre imagination. I think there's some irony in that latter view when it comes from a community of leechers consuming manga like popcorn.

I thought I had reading comprehension problem but when I checked the forums it seems like there tens of people who also do not get what the hell happened so I'm sure it's the manga's problem.

Which is why when someone argues majority within this community, I'm really skeptical at best, like this. Ten's of people sampled from this lot...


If you lot want to bother thinking at all, just remember that these new humans still aren't humans even if they have adopted some parts of that culture. This guy isn't shown to be like class rep in that he's a morally bankrupt person who helps others to please himself, neither is that girl about to reveal she's another alien. Even the final scene tells us something, with architecture that old humans never made.

I'm not going to bother giving more answers than that. It's clear the majority of manga readers want to be spoonfed certain types of stereotypical plot development. Some parts of the final scenes call back to the beginning of this manga, especially the memories, but it's not a cycle, so why show it that way? Ask yourselves that. Or move on to the next manga you find so 'bad' it's 'funny'.
