Almost anything I can say here would start a fight. Which is why whether you agree with the author or not, it’s worth reading.
It’s a new series so it’s hard to judge it on any level other than that if you share the author’s opinion, it’s reassuring to find out you’re not alone, and if you disagree with the author, it’s important to understand the thought process of the people you disagree with.
Censorship is a cancer and you shouldn’t trust anyone who leans on it. And you shouldn’t let them be your spokesmen. Understand your argument and understand your opponent. Fail to

While I can't knock it for its anti-imperialist themes, Drama Queen does come off as incredibly racist dog-whistle for contemporary immigration issues in Japan. I'm going to edit this for clarity because some people have not been able to comprehend the obvious. The actions of the protagonists are nothing but glorified; this isn't Death Note, these aren't villain protagonists. The popular notion that the couple will be painted as unsympathetic later on is wishful thinking at its worst.
The setting is in Japan, where aliens live among Japanese people due to the aliens saving the Earth from a "giant meteorite" and introducing humans to fancy new ...

Drama Queen is EXTREMELY unsettling. I never felt so uncomfortable reading a manga before.
The plot of the manga is that an alien race saved humanity from an asteroid and then started inhabiting the planet among humans. Since they were the ones that apparently saved the planet, all humans treat them super well, like heroes. However, the aliens also started receiving very special treatment in detriment of humans, making some people very uncomfortable with their presence. Our two protagonists have had very bad experiences dealing with aliens in their lives, especially in their recent job, having an abusive alien boss, and they start getting suspicious about how ...

First off, this manga is by no means racist. Sure you can fantasize about killing aliens being like killing tourists, but its just inherently different and fictional. Fictional racism doesn't hurt anyone, it's just a storytelling device, and if you take offense from it, you're probably a self-victimizing bum.
The plot of Drama Queen is very reminiscent of something you would find in a Tatsuki Fujimoto one-shot, something so bizarre and insane and just running with it and escaping reality, submersing us in this world where aliens are commonplace, and our 2 MC's aren't happy. The MC of this story is genuinely just a bad ...

The artstyle reminds me of some Tatsuki Fujimoto stuff, I know he had newer assistants last year so this might be one of his former assistants. The premise seems really interesting and having 2 main characters who are terrible people off the bat is a breath of fresh air. Only one chapter is out as of writing, but hopefully, the author can advance this premise and not taper off the concept like other good first-chapter series like Dear Anemone. But the one chapter is pretty decent so I would recommend it for now. I will say though, if you can not handle a POS protag,

The manga has an interesting plot, sounds like it has potential to me.
There's been a bit of a scandal (if you can call Twitter discussions that) surrounding this manga. We don't know about the author's views, and it's hard to judge from just one chapter, but the author may be even more based! Many people have concluded that the author wants to express the opinion of migrants, but I personally think (so far) that what is going on here is precisely a criticism of American colonialism, and that our American friends should check their privileges 😉 The characters are shown negatively, but still attractive with their unhinged ...

"Alliens" arrive in the country from outside, they get high ranking positions, the law doesnt touch them (not entirely), the 100% of them are rude, all of them are rich, "government cover ups", they stink so much even when they die the stench doesnt go away, 20+ million in number, they are "replacing" the natives. Racist BS i have heard a thousand times from europeans, americans and many others with all that bs backed by nothing other than insecurity that now gets made into a manga with protagonists that kill and eat those "alliens"
The story even without judging it on its obvious pararells to reality ...

too early to give a proper review but looks promising, interesting characters and very appealing art style. Really comes down to what the author decides he wants his message to be. Atleast this has a message, which puts it significantly above most other manga. It doesn't really seem to be "racist" as a lot of people are saying. It's more of an apartheid situation. I hope the author decides to take it into a class war direction and not a racial direction. This is my first written review so i am unsure what else to say
This will likely be a popular manga and will get ...

I'll go over the style of the manga first and then I'll say something about the story of this so called "racist" manga.
The style is unique in its own way, it does remind me of CSM in some scenes but with its on quirks and silliness. The art style is very fitting for this manga and I'm sucker of it. The manga means no racism and there are a lot of points in the background or in what the characters say where it's clear, that the aliens do have more rights. From the first chapters (don't remember exact page) on the background there's a buildboard saying: ...

Drama Queen is an adult series with adult themes about a scrappy underdog who's been trampled by an establishment that is run by a species that colonized her entire planet. It's very much NOT about glorifying the killing of minorities like many have claimed. If you think such a thing, I have bad news for you.
You are presented with a world that has essentially been conquered by an advanced foreign civilization. This civilization wormed its way into every facet of power and made efforts to ensure all leadership roles were loyal and biased to them as opposed to the native residents. Said native residents ...

I'm sorry but you have to be so dense to not see what's right in front of you. This work is so balantly xenophobe that it screams in your face. You can sugarcoat all you want with "they are aliens" "it's about humanity losing it's dominant position" but the aliens aren't really >alien< they act like humans, they dress as humans, they act as the stereotype some japanese people think of foreigners that visit or go live in Japan.
They are presented as rude, with no spatial awareness, they don't apologize, they talk loud. All those things are the issue, the line between being a ...

Drama Queen has an intriguing premise, but it is still too early to confidently recommend, especially if a reader has experience with series such as Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, Code Geass, or Overlord. Even a Fire Emblem game has this similar premise. Other reviewers may use buzzwords like "anti-imperialism" or "racist dog whistle"; however, that is not really the issue here. Instead, it could be argued that those specifically are what makes this story interesting.
The worry for Drama Queen is the potential direction that it will take as it develops since if it strays into the path of the aforementioned series (and arguably, it ...

It’s too early for a full review, but why should you check out this manga? Because the plot and characters feel original and purposeful. They’re not driven by accidents around them; instead, they actively shape the story. Plus, it exudes a strong Chainsaw Man vibe—crazy, unpredictable, brutal, and funny.
First, the main characters reflect young people aged 15–25 who feel lost and view the world as inherently unfair. The story begins when aliens save the world, but it becomes clear that they start treating some humans unjustly. This introduces a philosophical dilemma: is it better to obey your saviours, or are freedom and honour more important ...

This is probably one of the strangest manga's I've read in the while, if not the strangest.
With only there being 2 chapters out right now, Drama Queen is (currently) unratable for me, because of the extreme racial implications. It just seems like a dog whistle for hating foreigners. The premise is simple, but also complex. It's basically about Aliens that saved earth from a planet ending meteor, and they have integrated themselves into society, and the main character hates them. She works at a lousy job that is run by an alien, and they always hit her without them knowing (or apologizing) The boss hits ... |
