But you're all missing the point, that manga is about stupidity, mangaka's stupidity that's it, for believing that all the Japanese folks would be as dumb as (him) he thought they would be. If we have learnt something from the big bullies is that USA may be stupid to call the aliens in Independence Day, but except for the freaks at the top of the skyscraper they would never allow coexistance. At the end of the day, they won't leave anyone who's not them to harass other countries on Earth, be Japan or that land between Canada and Mexico (the north of New Spain and The Thirteen Colonies if I'm not wrong).

There are a number of possible solutions to the Fermi Paradox. Some are lonely, some are depressing, and some are genuinely terrifying. None of them are the world presented in this manga, though.

There's some France in there too, and Russia if you want to count Alaska, but yeah, basically.

The fact that aliens had the technology advanced enough to find another terrestrial planet which obviously isn't as advanced and decided to settle themselves with these lower beings rather than using them as bio-resource or using them as research subjects is already quite the leniency. It couldn't be far more clear that the aliens are just some dumb allegory for foreigners but honestly, I don't care, I wanna see the trash dumpster of fire burn those comment section.🔥

They are the most interesting thing about all this, after all.

I never expected actual SF discussion in this precise thread but like it shows that link the hypotesis are quite a number, I always say to those science fetishists that not even maths is a unique language even on Earth, from the way of writing (we just use a relatively new convention) to the way of conceiving math as a discipline. Just by reading what's left of Greek mathematician works they even considered that there were some notions (different to axioms) that you need to agree with if you want to accept that mathematics logic, and Euclid is just an example. So if we needed not only years but also someone explaining and lots of practicing to understand one or another, assuming that some lifeforms are going to understand "if they're intelligent enough" some coordenates transmitted without context nor understanding is both naïve and presumptuous (like they wouldn't considered the change of being some radiation noise in case they managed to pick up).
I could go and comment all those options, but unlike the most famous TV series, films and books usually fantasise about (a huge amount in fact) "look at how interesting we are the rest of the Universe needs to be concerned about us" or "look at us, we're the chosen ones". As long as it's fiction, bring on all those interesting stories, be Asimov works, all those cited in Wikipedia or more popular and accessible options for the average aficionado like Star Trek. One reason why I like that much Legend of the Galactic Heroes is the fact that, even if our own species advances to such technological level and have good intentions on the clue moment, all can vanish away with just a political rift, a new form of colonialism, a chain of wars, etc. and stop caring about whether there's someone else out there because they're much worried about surviving themselves. Of course, it could be as easy as thinking they share the same quirks and are prone to the same mistakes, they may have become grandeous just before extinguishing themselves without no one else noticing or be happening all of this now and go unnoticed before we extinct ourselves. Like a teacher of mine said, "life is hard and dry like the bottom of a cucumber".

Very insightful, but would you eat an alien if it tasted like squid? I would.

I think Hannibal Lecter has taught us that it doesn't matter where the meat comes from. I mean, there are many animals I have yet to try, including insects, so why not? Btw, it has already made to the front page "Popular New Titles", the world is coming to an end.

On a different but similar note, all the isekai non-sense is pretty much like that, another world is so interested in abducting one random teenager (sometimes older or more than one) to save themselves because they're not capable of solving their own problems, and despite having the means for all those feats they still have to have another monkey to carry it out. Or the reverse isekai ones where Japanese folks accept them no matter what they do and even love them despite being like animals in a zoo (useless and to be fed while they trash around). Maybe is a hidden fetish for BSDM, or Drama Queen is just a non-H work that some editor wanted to give attention for money?
Edit: the best part of the comments in these shitty series is seeing the amount of "banned" people that post on a regular basis.
