I think it's going to be some sort of emotion-venting manga.

In coming years there going to be an outburst of people of many forgings in Japan, as the US is going to make preparations to oppose China at East Asia region, as well as to move from declining Europe markets to the Asian ones, making Japan the main base of military and economic operations. So, it is safe to presume a lot of local people would be pissed off by this new people who had to hastily (and maybe even unwillingly) move oversea, barely speaking Japanese and unknown of Japan culture.

The overall premise based on a general suspicion, fear and rejection of the aliens. The premise for the main character girl is quite crudely put together, so it appeals to emotions and feelings towards the aliens rather than to logic. Meanwhile, the premise for the boy protagonist appeals to past tragic experience related to the aliens. With that, the main cases are covered.

Killing and eating the aliens might seem to be quite risky idea, but it is perfect to vent reader's pent-up emotions, as making eating aliens a crucial part of the process prevents everyone sane from replicating the whole experience IRL (still, they made a safeguard by making one of the main character strongly hate the process).

People talking about Jewish, Indians, Africans...
This is obviously based on Japan's relationship with other powers (mostly european and american) through it's history.
(Bakumatsu, World War II, that kind of thing...)
Take that and add a heavy dosage of class commentary.

Edit: on another note, they're both literally eating the rich lmao

This juxtaposed with inio asano's work is kinda interesting honestly and should be studied

This is beyond fucked up currently because we have almost no reason to hate the aliens currently, besides some red flags and the fact that some of them are jerks.

I don't normally manga like this but this honestly could be a hit. Unique premise, hilarious story with some serious undertones and someone said the art reminds them of Chainsaw man which I can see.

Hopefully the story can gather a fanbase.

Read the comments on the Manga+, and yup. Just expected, it's always the Westerners.
Too true
The funny thing is they keep denying it when everyone knows they're the only group of people in the planet seething about this

Their education system failed them so much that they couldn't differentiate fiction from reality and get offended with a piece of media involving aliens because they think stories are always about THEM

its uhh very generic? besides the racism thing. japan not sending their best fascists
Yes yes we get it dumbass, you're too stupid to differentiate fiction from reality
“If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck”.

Only Westerners would throw around words like "fascist", "bigot", "racist", "xenophobic", "oppressed", etc like they're nothing. Also, if someone's interpretation of the first chapter is that of "anti-immigration", then there's a big-fat chance they're a Western Liberal.
100% facts right there
Thank you!

Bruh so the main characters are whiny, racist murderers with a chip on their shoulders who engage in cannibalism based on unfounded resentment of an alien race that has actively helped society? Not sure how I'm supposed to root for them in any way.
if you're reading this and thinking racism, migrant crisis or brown people you need to go to get yourself checked
as a brown person aka not white, bit yellow but still brown, it is very annoying seeing you people think of "oh these are are you people" get a fucking life, touch some grass

this is fucking FICTION you dumbass

honestly after reading this again, i still don't get what the big fuss is about
how on earth can you western dumbasses attribute this to "oh they're talking about africans"(the aliens saved the entire planet from the big meteorite also to be clear I'm not saying all, I'm saying the westerners who ARE offended are dumbasses, I know there are normal people in the west too who don't subscribe to this stupidity)
"or the aliens are white people"(there was literally a white person in there)
its literally a story about ALIENS
not us brown people or white people
it is quite literally A FICTIONAL STORY ABOUT A MOST LIKELY STAGED METEORITE SENT TO EARTH BY SOME BAD ALIENS who wanted to play hero then bask in the glory of having saved the feeble earthlings
not the migrant crisis(firstly where the fuck did you even get that? when its an invasion if anything)
if you're a westerner offended by this, as a brown asian(i have to state this so that you dumbasses won't assume "oh you're just some white dude" and yes we exist you idiots who don't know brown asians exist)
please go back to school, actually study this time, remember the difference between fiction and reality and just because you have some conspiracy theory in your head that its about you, realize the world is not about you and you're not special, this is a FICTIONAL STORY, ITS NOT REAL

You know exactly what I mean. Americans reading "alien" assumed it was an allegory for their problem with immigrants, they always think it's all about them. Like the time a Pokémon came out that was based on a detective and they thought it was Trump because of the shape of his head and he was fighting some ratattas that were stealing food from Alola.View attachment 12174
yup
nothing speaks colonial mentality when they think every story is about their issues or just them in particular

to the westerners reading this:
here's the reality westerners
people meme on the loud minority of you on twitter who say they're progressive or whatever bullshit word you like to make up to think you're a good person when you're part of the small but growing western group that's not,
complaining about everything wanting people to adjust to you, life isn't about you, or your issues or your country.
most of the time people write fiction because its fiction
you can come up with whatever bullshit you want saying this is racist, xenophobic or whatever when it isn't but you do you
we get it
some of you
are just
dumb
and that's perfectly fine
but at least remember
a lot of people
aren't
and people know what's a fictional setting
if you wanna solve problems like xenophobia, racism and what not
get your asses out there, do something, look into charities or volunteer Non-Government orgs that actually do change and help people and volunteer there, raging at a manga in the comments section of a manga site won't get you there
and don't tell me "but i don't have the time to do that i barely have time for myself" if the people who were able to remove things like slavery said that, there'd still be literal slavery in the west right now, make time, you had time to hate on a manga that isn't even about you, your country or your issues
actually do the change you wanna see in the world, move your ass

lives in Indonesia
can't go to Bali
can't live in Bali
sees the video about foreigners working on laptop in some cafe, then chilling and partying at night, NOT PAYING TAXES, in bali
reads this manga that aliens are given special rights
some countries ended up making laws where people are taxed for doing that, like in some countries here in southeast asia, might be good to go to your local government and see which politician supports or is trying to pass a bill where overseas digital nomads (people who do their work overseas since they could just work digitally)
................................. ouch. I dunno why this hits deeply.
I'm feeling that they might go as Villain Protagonist like Kira in Death Note. But with more chaos.
Will be waiting for the next chapter.
pretty good so far tbh, i wouldn't call it great but the art is great and the plot isn't terrible
