Goodreads Synopsis:
It’s just an everyday apocalypse.
Three years ago the aliens invaded Tokyo. Nothing was ever the same again. But after a while, even impending doom starts to feel ordinary.
The alien menace has been hovering over Tokyo for years, but the invaders aren’t content to just sit back and loom. One of them has taken to the streets of the city in human disguise in order to surveil the locals. He may not be the first, and he’s certainly not the last. Meanwhile, Kadode Koyama and her friends continue to deal with the peril of upcoming college entrance exams, as the stress of studying under the constant threat of annihilation sends some running to safer cities. At least it’s almost Christmas!

Review:
I really had no idea what to expect of this volume. I hadn't read the
first one, or anything by Asano, but I've heard so many things. I
expected it to be more horrifying?
This series takes place in a world that has been invaded by aliens.
Their spaceship is above the city, and they're not quite invading,
though people believe they're doing something. A lot of people are
moving away because of it, and yet it's slow going. Even though this
city is being invaded by aliens, a lot of people still can't imagine
living elsewhere. And people have to continue their lives, you know?
School and work and life still goes on.
When the invasion isn't big and violent, life goes on. It's an odd
idea, and a little unsettling, and yet it also makes perfect sense.
Sometimes these changes happen slowly, and people see them, but
continue on anyway. It's kind of a depressing thought, but it is true.
This series mostly follows a group of girl friends, and how they go
along and deal with things. Some of them are odd, and then there's an
undercover alien mixing into school life.
This is an odd series, and I'm not sure what to think about it.
