Came to say almost exactly this.the torn suit chekhov's gun was brilliant. i came for the racism, but stay for the peak writing
Alternatively the aliens are very light, consisting mostly of empty space (nasty smelling gas?)Is Nomamoto even human? That fucking alien righted himself on her arm when she only had one foot on the ground and the suit tore without her falling
Doesn't fully explain how it still tore the suit while barely shaking her but I guess that's good enough an explanation to write that part off as an oversight.Alternatively the aliens are very light, consisting mostly of empty space (nasty smelling gas?)
Would also go a little towards explaining how Nomamoto fits them in her stomach.
I thought they were like foam but then they tend to punch a lot (and always on the nose) with enough weight to make a human bleed.Doesn't fully explain how it still tore the suit while barely shaking her but I guess that's good enough an explanation to write that part off as an oversight.
Nomamoto said their bones are actually soft enough for her to chew them. I assume they are more of glasscannons, with enough muscle to pack a punch but without the structure to withstand one. They CAN subdue a human, and in fact it's repeatedly shown in the first chapter that they accidentally elbow people into having nosebleeds. But they die even easier.This is basically like that one story at this point where the "highly intelligent" aliens were weaker and more vulnerable than children at this rate. They're getting killed in one hit by even the girl that hired them and fall down stairs like they are in a cartoon. Then we have Nomamoto that's basically Luffy when it comes to eating... And the brain damage.
Maybe their hands are more dense than the rest of their body so they can actually grab stuff?I thought they were like foam but then they tend to punch a lot (and always on the nose) with enough weight to make a human bleed.
My new favorite racist manga
xenophobia* at best. This is really a anti colonialism story in terms of themes, as others have said before.the torn suit chekhov's gun was brilliant. i came for the racism, but stay for the peak writing
