Hitoner - Oneshot

[PinkManiac]

Trying to get a rough grasp on their civilization level from this narrow view of the world and loosely compare it to our time line to guess the possible public reaction to the execution of an alien with no certain threat.

Seems to be early analog Era, probably pre television. Possibly before powered flight. Aliens are barely considered as being a possibility. However there doesn't appear to be strong racial discrimination. And humans were considered a mythical race without fear of them. Adding that up, I imagine the general public would be angry at the decision and in history books it would be recorded as a major blunder.

They have big screens and are capable of transmitting images, as seen on page 48.
Their clothing is fairly modern in some areas but also fairly ancient in others.
I feel like what they haven't advanced enough in are areas that require precise movements, which is easier for us due to our articulations and fingers.

This hinders their progress, so their advances are not linear compared to ours. The radio shown, for example, also appears to be old. I guess now, with a human as a reference, they can start creating machinery that can simulate those precise movements needed, OR, scale down what they have. (Like the big screen)

Tonerico be like, "TFW no human boyfriend."

 

[Rabby]

Its need a adaptation. Its a very good manga

The world build had a lot of though behind it. The only thing unclear is their mythological role for humans.

Maybe an early experiment or colonization attempt by the humans that was forgotten or lost? The fact that they didn't encounter unknown pathogens and the like might point to a origin where those kinds of organisms were already present...

Maybe this is where the cat-girl project funding ended up.

The first page... was it a yamada the cat reference ?

 

[Maid_kun]

im not furry, BUT
ngl they seems extremly fluffy to hug and id squish their toe bean hands all day, non segsually

sounds like something a furry would say

 

[BCS]

That was surprisingly good

 

[JoeChilled]

Great read. Its rare to find a beefy one shot that tells a complete story and feels satisfying. They could probably have squezed out a 30 chapter story, but as is this a great quick read.

"I am now a furry"
The king was right for trying to put him down. He's a danger!

The world build had a lot of though behind it. The only thing unclear is their mythological role for humans.

There could be two or three factors that might lead to that.
One, an error on the spaceship reading a mobius space as a straight-ish line away from point of departure.
Two, enough time has passed that the human's point of departure have a human extinction event, and regular animals developed into bipeds and into sapient level. And though humans are extinct, tiny amount of the things they produced endure. Like photograph or stupid "modern art" pieces.
Three, human astronaut and his space computer, not aware that his entire universe is based on a mobius strip structure, loop back to his point of origin, and mistook the old earth as somewhere new with unknown sapient life-form.

We know that if the reverse happened, dissection would avae occurred shortly after the interrogation to glean all the knowledge the visitor had, the scavenging the vehicle for all the tech possible. Politicians would of courser deny anything happened or arrived.

 

[redscizor]

He can talk?!

Better that modern ape planet adaptation

 

[ImNotCreativeEnoughtForThese]

This was lovely, thou I dont like the dudes design and Im a bit worried about him having hair ONLY on top of his head. He really is an alien.

 

[HT-Stunner]

So basically the author saw Zootopia and thought "Man, I wish that were me" and proceeded to make a story about it lol

I hope it stays a one-shot though. I like it as is with it being a simple one and done idea. There is potential to flesh out an interesting world and ethics as a slice of life series maybe, but if it were to go for an over arching plot I feel like it'll be the kind of manga that will lose touch with it's original charms and get rather uninteresting or bloated.

 

[Reimos]

I truly became a furry

A what?

[Fidozip]

He can talk?!

I CAN SIIIIIIING!

Hopefully this gets serialized.
Iron Knight was rushed to avoid axing and Red Sprite was axed unjustfully.
Hoping the author succeeds in making something more long-running.
