This is a very fun read, but I'd caution people to not read it if you're bothered by really grim stuff or already in a dark place.

it starts off seeming like a high school comedy then it turns into a situation with a lot of dead bodies rapidly piling up.

It's cynical about humanity to any eyerolling degree and the ending is lame as hell

Like it's got some amusing or at least interesting takes on "an alien is living with me!" even with the horrifically gory subversions it takes that trope to but it's just brutal and miserable and most of the big twists are extremely apparent how they're going to play out. It's got a couple good jukes to your expectations but it's not worth the time imo

It seems like almost directly out of a younger Tatsuki Fujimoto's notebook, down to the scribbly artstyle

Yeah I wonder if the author was an assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto or something because they have similar art styles

The page where he's teaching her about humans and she's really surprised that humans only go to the bathroom privately is funny.

i can't believe someone would mention "effectively engages with audience expectations" as a positive for a story

the concept that someone might enjoy a plot twist for catching them off guard or be disappointed that a plot "twist" did not do so effectively is anathema to media discussion
