Manga Review: Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction, Volume 5, by Inio Asano


Rating (Out of 5): ~3
Publisher: VIZ Signature (VIZ Media)
Release Date: April 2019
Volumes: 9+
Spoilers?: No.
Volume: 1. 4. 6.

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.

Private companies have been rushing to prove their worth in the Invader containment efforts, and their confirmed kill rates are starting to rival those of the SDF! But there are signs of trouble with the mother ship, and perhaps the Invaders are getting tired of this one-sided slaughter. Meanwhile, Ontan has found an Invader in a human suit and is keeping him at Kadode’s apartment. He’s a bit strange as housemates go, but at least things between Kadode and Mr. Watarase seem to be heating up!

Review:

Prejudices and dangers to the invaders are getting real. While the girls have their own alien friend, the military is out there killing them all, and people are warring on both sides of their rights about it. It all seems to be counting down to something, a time drawing closer to some inevitable doom.
Getting to see the aliens talking really sets a different mood for this series. From the aliens' perspective, the humans are the aliens. At times, we get to see them trying to hide and live in their sectioned off area, talking and not understanding the human language. All while the humans technology is getting smarter about hunting them out, and the humans are murdering them on sight.
Relationships are getting more intense just as the political danger is, too.
This series is off-setting, honestly; it feels disturbing in a very real way. I'm honestly enjoying it, though; it's interesting, even though I don't care for any of the characters very much.
