Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction, Vol. 1

Product Information

With the advent of an anime coming for the series, I finally mustered my self hate, and finished this comic series. Viz Media announced at Comic-Con International 2017 that it had licensed the manga in North America. The storyline here is like cancer caution warnings on the pack of smokes - no one cares, not even the smokes makers! Whole premise of two highschool girls being friends, going trough earliest stages of adulthood in a world, where there's a huge UFO hovering over the capital city of Japan is a big lie.

Kadode Koyama and Ouran Nakagawa live their final days like they always have: going to school, playing with friends, and doing what any carefree high school girls would do.The wild nature of it made it so worth the read, I was already invested now that I had accepted its wild nature! Despite this unique and tragic event, high school girls Koyama Kadode and Nakagawa Ouran behave as if nothing has changed. Comedy is something we rarely see in an Inio Asano manga, and I would say he has full control of it here from the very first chapter. At this point I really am regretting I wanted to make some "New Yorker" grade review, but will try my best without delving into spoilers.

The story follows two high school girls who struggle with the mundanity of life after an alien spaceship descends on Japan. It became overly ridiculous and unreal now that it was showing us such bullshit but honestly saying it was very enjoyable, despite it being so random, I enjoyed it!So for good 60 chapters there's some slice of life, comedy, exposition how advanced aliens with great, doraemon-grade tech are actually powerless and defenseless against brute humans. This manga takes everything great about Inio Asano's previous works and adds a layer of happiness on top of it.

but I will end my review here, I do recommend it to everyone but keep in mind, its not what it seems like! It has also been published in Spanish by Norma Editorial since October 29, 2015, in German by Tokyopop since May 12, 2016, and in Italian by Planet Manga since March 3, 2017. In reality story is dealing with author's urge to make something hyper-realistic, ugly, strong, while it is poorly made comedy with romantic and action elements.However, despite her seemingly flamboyant and sociable personality, Ouran tends to only show her true self to her friends and family. The designs compliment the backgrounds very well and they feel natural when facial comedy is used on a character. These characters may seem like they are always fun-loving and cheery but they are really just coping in the only way they know how. Supporting characters are introduced, and author sure did think about some more exposition and backstories, but editor probably hinted that the series would take another 30 years to finish with how sluggish, meandering and lost the narration is in this series. Tone of jokes doesn't resonate, events don't intrigue, drama doesn't grip and mentioned finale is weak attempt at mentioned "Evangelion" or perhaps even "Akira".
