I finally finished Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction. The first half is amazing: a great mixture of Asano's willingness for tragedy and realism and his compromise for a more "moe" plot this time, which makes for a super enjoyable and relatable ride, because I felt the characters much closer to me, especially Ontan, which I would even consider an iconic character.
The second half gets progressively worse, because Asano's weak point is, he can't make a proper storyline to save his life (so he has to save the characters' lives instead lol). He tries, God knows he does, but it's beyond him. So the aliens, the least interesting part of the manga, gradually overshadow the actual soul of the manga. Approaching the end, it was difficult to find the manga I fell in love with. And the last bit, with Nobuo is so anticlimatic I can't help wondering what was Asano's intention with it. Anyway, generally, the political commentary is, to my taste, shit, the series is uncannily redundant with its messages and its development in general and the actual ending of the series felt, to me, like a kick in the balls. It felt like betrayal. Last page felt like Asano was fed up with the whole thing and wrote the most nonsensical line he could find. Maybe I should read all of it again, maybe there is a hidden meaning to all of it that I haven't realized, and I may do it in the near future. Until then, there is only one thing left for me to say:
HANYANYAFUWAAAAH!
