I know exactly what you mean, after last ch I was already ready for it to go in the classical alien fell in love for a human and now they are in love and spent the rest of their days as humans in love, but Haru is an alien, she won't and most likely wouldn't change her thinking even if she is "in love". Honestly I was shocked that she did that, but I absolutely love that it went this wayOn one hand, what the actual fuck.
On the other hand, we should've seen something like this coming.
Edit:
Also, I know that people think this series is all kinds of fucked up, but in hindsight, I think maybe that's what the author was getting at. As humans, we tend to view ourselves in a positive light; there are very few stories where the main character isn't, at bare minimum, somewhat human, either in appearance, mentality or mannerisms. Even when it's a story about animals with no human intervention, 95 times out of 100 their will be a human narrating the story, the animals will talk (out loud, in their heads or have their grunts "translated") or some other bs. Heck, even with something like aliens, we as humans are almost always forced to make them human-like in order for alien characters to be appealing, weird appendages, features, characteristics o otherwise. Which is probably also why Lovecraft's works were also so horrifying, both in-universe and to us as readers.
But with this story, it hits different. Because even though it starts off as the "aliens living among us" trope mixed with what initially looked like a typical high-school romcom, it all went out the window the moment Karagaki, justifiably depending on who you ask, got perforated.
I honestly don't know how to word this next bit properly, so bare with me. At the end of the day, Haru truly is an alien; even if she looks somewhat human, her way of thinking and morality is beyond most of our comprehensions. Instead of a Black-Grey-White Morality, she runs with Blue and Orange Morality. And... goddammit, my head hurts thinking about all this.
Make of all this what you will, I'm probably wrong on most of this, but I just felt compelled to type all this out before it occupied my brain for the rest of the day.
Why did I bother expecting something different author loves doing shit like this. I still read it though
Instructions unclear. He went bang before turning into a baby.Should've at least let him bang before that lol
Yah, but that goes with the "it's just to sound deep"... author wanted to make the shallow story seem deep, so he had that excuse...No, I'm referring to Haru listing out her reasons for liking Class Rep* in chapter 19. The reasons she gave were as deep as an girlfriend experience-type ASMR RP meant to cater to an arbitrary number of people, and only one of the things she mentioned was his "personality"-- even then, she never actually states what she likes about his personality.
*I don't think this guy ever had a proper name attached to him...
I think this specifically wasn't cloning... she probably just modified the body directly...BAHAHAHA
Fuck this site needs the option to give something a negative rating
This is boys abyss tier sludge
Watch them retcon the cloning shit so hes actually the same guy in a new body next chapter
But was that really the author's intention???We take for granted how we view each other, the world and the universe from the relative perspective of humans. Extra bonus points for the author pointing out how that same thing we take for granted, can be subverted by an outside force.
I mean its you people constantly trying to project human behavior and emotions onto her.Without ever elaborating on what that meant. The mention itself was swamped in a series of superficialities.
