Well his dad's attitude towards him is "If you want to waste your life, go ahead, that's on you." His mum is always getting on his case for getting into fights and having bad grades. His brother is brilliant and successful, and apparently not all that interested in helping him (maybe Hero thinks...

Because she left the lid up, not the seat.

This certainly raises questions. Was Lily♪'s kindness to Kitami all an act? How did Lily♪ even find out that Kitami killed Huntaway in the first place? Given the state's favour for aliens, why didn't Lily♪ just report Kitami to the police? Hoping for some answers, please.

As shown in the first chapter, they get new housing built solely for them and free parking, and also don't seem to be punished for crimes they commit. And if Iglaskar's words can be trusted as fact, Senoo City's government is carrying out initiatives to attract more aliens, which will probably...

So this is slightly out of date. In recent years (since COVID) Japan has been accepting more Third Worlder immigrants. Kurds seem to be somewhat infamous in particular, and the Muslim population is also growing. Compared to a lot of the West, Japan is about 20-30 years behind on this. The idea...

You could argue that was payment, rather than kindness. The alien seems pretty shameless about demanding money from her husband, though that could just be for comedic affect rather than any specific statement on her character. Lily's leniency towards Kitami, on the other hand, is a lot more...

And here we have the first unambiguous act of kindness from an alien. If the aliens were inherently assholes, I doubt Lily♪ would have let Kitami off with just an early dismissal. Now the question is whether he's an exception to the rule or not. Or, I just thought, his "kindness" could be an...

I definitely can't wait for Nomamoto's growth into a person who cares for others, because as she is she's kind of annoying more than anything. Feel bad for Kitami.

No, in ch. 2 Kitami killed 5 in one go with a hammer, but definitely not in one hit total, probably just one hit each. Also, they were civilians who he ambushed, not (presumably) trained bodyguards that are right behind him and prepared for any funny business.

Hmm, I do have to wonder where the hell this is going anymore. Maybe setting up for Nomamoto character development? Nomamoto realises the power of friendship, and after redeeming herself from her brief betrayal her and Kitami become an unstoppable alien-eating duo? Might just be cope, though.

I looked at the raws, and Nomamoto uses the word 兄弟(Kyoudai) which means brother. "Bro" is probably the most appropriate translation.

It's called a leading question. Kitami was already suspicious with hiding their disposal method, and Backbone has been tasked with finding out. Hence, she probes Kitami for possibilities.

Not necessarily. The impression I got from Iglaskar's exposition is that there is a secret anti-alien cabal among some of the rich and powerful humans. Think the House of Kyoto from Code Geass. You wouldn't argue that Kyoto's existence made the Britannians an oppressed minority in Japan, would you?

So the original Scarlet Star was born in Japan and is of Scottish descent? And New Pantheon has a district called Westminster? I'm getting really curious about the setting now.

Pretty sure it's due to similarities with post-war Japan's relationship with America. I don't know too much about it myself, but I've heard stories about how some American soldiers post-war would rape Japanese girls or commit other crimes, and they'd get away with it due to being American. I...

The aliens are outsiders who only entered Japanese society 9 years ago, something that is emphasised when Kitami reminisces about the beach in his childhood. They are clearly supposed to be a "conquering class" of outsiders, rather than simply the "upper class" of society. Whether this is an...

You don't know that, from the first chapter at least. They certainly seem to be as sentient and intelligent as humans, but there's not enough info to definitively say that their moral capacity is the same. The only evidence we have of the aliens doing good is destroying the meteor (which is...

Just ignoring the whole "baseless hatred" thing for a moment: No, I think she does have a properly established motivation for killing the aliens. Remember, she doesn't see aliens as people in the first place, so she has absolutely no moral compunctions to "murdering" them. Also, having just...

When every single alien that Nomamoto meets is rude and dismissive towards her at best. When aliens can kill a whole family in a drunk driving incident and get away scot free. When new housing gets built solely for aliens, who then also get free parking When aliens can run an entire factory...

That looks to be a bit different but I wouldn't be surprised if the author was inspired by that condition.
