I have no clue how to gauge this manga anymore. At first I thought this was an allegory to eating the rich but in chapter 2 you see that not every alien is rich or powerful and in this chapter you can see them being personable to an extent. Hoping ch 4 gives me more insight

This is going in a interesting direction. The story seems to be going in this assassination type plot where the MCs take jobs in killing higher profile aliens instead of indiscriminate killing. Notice how there was no mention of a secret "organization" and more of a market for murder-for-hire with our boy Kars being a middle-man for clients suggesting that this is freelancer business and not some organization behind this. In a sense, its like a underworld for paid criminal activity but against aliens and not humans along with some social commentary in between.

For god's sake...if this really is an evil alien murdering organization funded by the rich and powerful, that means the aliens are literally an oppressed minority and thus alien-only apartments aren't just freebies for the newcomers. I'm really hoping this guy is a glowie and is just trying to entrap them, otherwise this is a pretty boring turn of events.

This made me wonder, why don't murderers eat people, like won't that be the best disposal?
(Burying and disposal will leave the body to be found, burning may find DNA or maybe the smoke is suspicious?)
Like it may be disgusting, but if you have murdered, you won't care, also human meat is delicious (def research)

Some serial killers do eat people btw (Raman Raghav)
Most parts of the human body are ok to eat, only issue is the organs

So, assuming they have caught these two murdering aliens with some "affordable" satellites, and they have "clients" with huge chunk of moolah to burn, so I guess the Alien Genocide Movement has been on the way in other area too. And maybe in larger scale.

The problem is just the cleanup so clean that it doesn't leave bad odor. Hope that's all.
What I wonder more is, if this 'organization' manage to do it, government should have actually implemented these things before them?

Two explanations I can think of are:
1. They're just slow. Like, as mentioned there're a few other suspects and they might not have a strong enough case to show up and invite the two for some queries yet; or
2. These organization is in fact, secretly backed by government. Less believable and some conflicts info already, but not too hard to hand wave away.

I kinda prefer the first route. Heck, I want a cop showing up on their tail soon; but since they move their operation into somewhere roofed from now on, the cop still have no strong evidence and it becomes sort of like Deathnote.

Anyway, Nomamoto kinda showed their hands already there. With the duo operating together, and she admit she can't kill the aliens herself, that left the disposal as her only role. Let's see if four eyes can catch on to that.

And BTW, what's up with all those bottles at the end of their negotiation? I mean, you can say those are booze he drank, and brushed off as he's a monster drinker; but how long did this negotiation last? And their conversation were so continuous that I don't see any moment a waitress come in to serve more booze; did they magically materialize onto the table? If it's a joke, it just flew over my head :pacman:

Man, you'd think new dude would be a little more subtle than dragging people around on a leash outside after criticizing them for not being careful about open skies ...

I don't expect the crime stuff will be competent at all because of stuff like this so maybe they'll keep it more comedic like "spy x family" or something. We'll probably have a good idea when we get to where he wants to end the first volume.

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?

It's fun how much people are tracking this.

So far they have localized the subtitle from the awesome "Aim for Sukkiri" to the pathetic "Hate brings pain to the world" and now they've gone back and localized within the chapters as well.

Eat the rich, the manga
Economic Migrants*
They are obviously a reference to basketball Americans like Somali.
Has anybody considered that they're just aliens? They're extraterrestrials that might have staged their saving of the earth, the aliens have been demonstrated to be capable of being in privileged positions and were responsible for bringing to the earth superior technology, and the first alien couple in this chapter involved a gigolo husband and his man-ruiningly doting wife.

Well, the controversial vibe lasted a whole two chapters, lol. Chapter 3 and we are already in boring Shounen tropes.
Probably because the mangaka wasn't even trying to make social commentary, and American otaku came up with that on their own because they're politically brainrotted even more than they're generally brainrotted.

Shark teeth tomboy with pigtails in a dress?
Yeah, too many things mixing together
I dunno, I don't think having a shark-toothed girl in pigtails wearing a dress would be too much.
