This is good. But is this really oneshot, cuz the chapters numbering is "0"...?!?
I hope I will have more of this.
Edit:
@danceguy The chapter name is awesome, with One-shot being done by the Mc in here, and prolly a Oneshot by the author, One, himself. lol

You know as great as it may sound to have this as a series i thing it would grow stale quite fast since it already managed to explore and resolve its main points.
If it were to continue it would devolve into just another super hero romcom with a kaiju of the week format, instead of being a deconstruction of the genre which is the point of the story.

@TehSDragon Wait! So why does it show "Ch 0" before "One-shot"? Also, there's a reason for my misunderstanding. First, "Ch 0" thing and Second, Mangadex names it single-chapter-only manga as "Oneshot" (i believe dex does it automatically, though I haven't uploaded anything so I may be wrong) and not "One-Shot" and no "Ch 0". So, I may have gotten tad deep into the name thing. But thanks for the clarification. I was hoping for more.

@m4ng4 Mangdex does both (see https://mangadex.org/title/40455/kemunimaku and https://mangadex.org/title/40513/soul-render for example) though the title does seem to be up to the uploader's notice, so I'm assuming MDex just defaults to Oneshot

Ogami is Blast(by looks)
... This is the one thing I hate most about hero stories.
The ones being saved treat the heroes like lepers, like tools, they act arrogantly and repugnantly - yet if the person doing the saving acts like a person, the human being that they are - and takes any amount of offense, suddenly they're a wild, evil maverick villain for so much as a glare, nevermind anything else. I separate this greatly from police politics, because these heroes are not employees, not getting paid, and don't have a license to kill people based on their own judgement with minimal oversight - it's also not illegal to fight back and save your life from a hero who goes too far.
They don't respect their heroes except when it pleases them, and they're entitled to act poorly and mistreat their saviors, and they act surprised or even offended if the hero doesn't do everything EXACTLY the way they want it to make life more convenient for them.
If you shit on the person who is protecting your entire species, then do you deserve their protection? If you demand that they act a certain way, if you demand they respect you like a dog does its master, but you do not respect them, then what is the point? Are you a person who is helping because you can, or a leashed-up toy sent to do their work for them?
Yet in all the hero stories this is fairly normal, and it's 'heroic' to just bear the abuse. It's one thing to take abuse from the enemy, but when you save someone and they curse your name because their car was destroyed by the villain or you had to destroy their house to save their children's lives, then basically fuck them?
Look at this story here. Blast's father sprained his back kowtowing to a bunch of officials all day. They allowed their great and (only) protector of Earth to hurt himself (he's not young at all) to show them unnecessary levels of respect, no doubt demanding explanations for his son's saving them, all kinds of demands, sharply-worded, looking down on him, everyone knows how that sort of thing goes - in front of a board of people who look at you like a bug and act like you're a criminal.
Some can say it was his son's fault, and that may have been the impetus THIS TIME - but it could have been anything else. Maybe he mis-stepped and destroyed the council chairman's brand new foreign car. Then he bows his back out, and then there's a new space monster! Congratulations, because of your idiotic human arrogance and need to feel superior to the only being strong enough to save you, you have paralyzed the only being strong enough to save you! Earth is doomed, you're the first to suffer and die, then your family - because you use concepts like 'fear and peace' to hide behind while you mistreat your protector for your own insecurity.
His father even referred to him and his son as monsters. He called himself a monster, he called his SON a monster. Other people called his son a monster. So when he's wagging his tail and barking for them they let him act like a human, but when he acts like a human he's a terrifying existence that - instead of respecting, they instead provoke and make unreasonable, enraging demands of. The fact his father believes they are monsters shows what the damn problem is. How many times did the old man save the planet? In olden times, just saving a harvest meant you were a god. Now saving the entire planet makes you a 'temporarily honorary human being, sorta - to be revoked the moment I don't like something about the way you keep me alive and safe'. Ugh.
