Oh, My Sweet Alien!

RIP kouji, 34 is too, too young. ; ;

Didn't expect much but what an amazing manga. I would say it could be a masterpiece of an alien/human romance but the siblings/"rivals" left a bad memory for me.
Very wholesome but the rivalry is the last thing you need on a story like this. If you remove that part, the siblings are actually enjoyable characters. Wish this was longer.

9/10 - Hidden gem (again the rivals was a mistake)

9/10 A fun, short manga worth the read

I was reading through the comments section to see if other readers thought this was as fantastic as I did only to find that the man behind it has passed away. RIP Kouji, you were a cool dude

This is such a great manga. It's a shame it was pretty short, but it didn't feel rushed and the ending was satisfying.

It's tragic that the author died at just 34
