Enjoying vol2 of #dededede #manga from @VPL . It's a slice of life set during a slow motion apocalypses (not unlike the one we're living through). Like k-on meets District 11. It charms while filling you with low-key dread. Great art! Recommended 👍🛸🕹 ( )

The point of this book is to show how mundane and tedious life can be even in the shadow of something as world-changing as an alien invasion. I suppose there are parallels to how ordinary life is in parts of the world like the U.S. and Japan even in the shadow of 9/11 and the ongoing war on terror that has devastated entire other countries. Ooh, the threat of terror hangs over us like an alien spaceship, but we carry on being boring our boring selves and worrying about boring-ass stuff.

To really drive his point home, the creator has made this book as boring as humanly possible. Oh my god make it stop boring. Boring, boring, boring. Boring.

I really need to learn this mangaka's name so I stop picking up his books. This is even worse than [b:Goodnight Punpun Omnibus (2-in-1 Edition), Vol. 1|25986929|Goodnight Punpun Omnibus (2-in-1 Edition), Vol. 1 (Goodnight Punpun Omnibus, #1)|Inio Asano|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1449607528s/25986929.jpg|47844094].

(p.s. Is the title referencing "19," the Paul Hardcastle song?) ( )
