The End. Break next week. Sadly, there are just 4 chapters remaining.
>>292003382>”sure bro, he tastes like shit now anyways.”
>Kitami's faggotry killed the manga
I have to say, a lot of the things that happened in this plot are hardly what I'd call the best, but I do appreciate that the villain got a proper send-off instead of just dying pathetically It's hard to do a villain death that is satisfying, doing one that is both pathetic and satisfying is even harder and Lily did not fit that bill
>>292003411Thanks for the dump, OPIt was fun while it lasted
>>292003411>Turns out eating diseased alien bodies that are impossible to decompose is bad for your health. Who Knew!
>>292003411>4 chapters remaining now that Lilynemek is finally overWtf
>>292003474i wouldve been perfectly happy to be spared the lally* flashback and gotten a chappy on noma
>>292003316>>292003411What a fucking lame resolution to this shitshow, this is another one of those "why the fuck did I read this" manga
>>292003411infinite aura
>>292003411>I’m going to dieDykebone in shambles (if she’s still alive)
>>292003411>Seiran was so gay he gave her aids like fluIf I dont see Haruo kicking him in the balls with his remaining leg then its over
>>292003344He tanked that wedding.
I liked this manga better when it was about how cool racism is, and not "revenge bad"
>>292003523Like it or not, Lily is the antagonist of the series.
>>292003411>I'm gonna die... of boredomDamn, what a drama queen!
>>292003571PLEASE HE'S NOT MUTILATED ENOUGH TO DIE YET THEY EVEN DE-MUTILATED HIM SO HE COULD CLAP THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING
>>292003411Lily was probably the most entertaining part of this whole manga and he's gone now and we're again stuck with Kitami and NomaLong hair Noma isn't visually interesting either
>>292003591I dont, as a matter of fact.
>>292003157Is it ending?
>>292003667you tell me
>>292003667Kitami will return in Drama Queen 2: Lally's Revenge™
>>292003693>>292003696I just picked this up...
>>292003735drop it again
>>292003735It's not an axed ending
>>292003798I know but why so soon?
>>292003126>>292003147>I just wanted my brother to racemix....Was that too much to ask f-ACK!
>>292003593I could totally see it
>>292003411How does she know that?
>>292004007Female intuition.
>>292003382FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT
>>292004007Because she is going to kill herself since aliens dont taste good anymore.
>>292003411I'M GONNA FUCKING ROPE I'M NOT READY FOR IT TO BE OVER
>>292003878Yeah, they’re foreign chandalas. Marrying a human would be a sign of status for them. A form of the acceptance they crave, and also a subtle humiliation ritual against those whose hospitality they must be contemptuous of, since it’s granted so freely. Many such cases…
>>292003411I'M COPING AND SEETHING SO HARD RN
>>292003411>Sadly, there are just 4 chapters remaining.Sadly, thank god this shit can finally die
As long as Nomamoto's death results in true TAD, I will be happy.
>>292004007Maybe the doctors told her during the time skip, and we’re only just now hearing about it. Or she’s been having other medical issues we don’t know about, and she just knows. Or she figured out why aliens taste awful now. Or, this >>292004084
>Ending in 4 chapters>kitami being a cuck actually killed the mangaLMAO
Its ending? LMAAAAOO. Good Riddance
>twitter literally who screencap[ - ]
>>292004184Nomamoto contributed almost nothing towards TAD, and she never wanted that anyways. She wanted them around, to keep eating them. She was happy when the virus, that she herself probably did much to spread (albeit unwittingly), ravaged humanity and led to ayys flocking to Earth in droves. Haruo, Kitsch, and Odori were our heroes of TAD. Hell, Dykebone probably has a considerably higher body-count than Noma and Kitami combined.
>>292003548>>292004295Straightbone.
>>292004235>on Nov 16thBut the tagline at the end of this chapter says there’s four more left, and Jump Plus says the next chapter won’t come out until Nov 14th…
>>292003344fucking finally
>>292004326Perhaps Deadbone now… Lol, Dykebone is as straight as a circle…
>>292003221Even on another planet everyone hates manlets.
>>292004448Lally should have chudded-out like Kitsch.
>>292003289>>292003316cinema
4 chapters of Backbone eroguro please.
>>292003411This shit was so ass.
>>292003221YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG
>>292004492Lally* did his part in TAD.
All that will happen in the next 4 chapters:>Cutebone will declare herself straight.>Noma will go on a rampage since aliens are useless to her now.>Haruo will kill Cucktami and then will become a space pirate alongside Odori.>The final panel will be Iglesias revealing he never had amnesia and that everything went according to plan.
>>292003411The axe was inevitable.
>>292003411I'm gonna miss the ride. Thanks for dumping.
>>292003411What are the odds that the "4 chapters to go" announcement is just a prank? Could it actually be a joke or is DQ definitely ending?
>>292005079There’s an omake where Sexbone tells Noma and Kitami she thinks she’d really enjoy having a gimp to bully, and she was really in to kicking Iggy when he first got amnesia, soooo:>Sexbone will make Iggy her toy (IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!!!)
>>292004007That probably has to do with the black goo coming out of her eyes pre-timeskip.
>>292005403Doesn't feel like that to me. At best, Ichikawa will take a break and come back in a few months to announce DQ2.And have there been cases of a manga announcing its ending only to reveal it was a joke?
I can't believe it. It's so fucking over.
>>292005002Damn you Sandro. Damn you to hell!
>>292003411The idea of Noma dying before Kitami feels weird, because he is absolutely cooked rn, and Noma seems fine.
>>292003411Wut.
>>292003045So the denji wannabe MC is not going to get fucked huh...
>>292003623Kitsch was the mvp
>>292005685Of course she will. By me.
>>292005734Dykebone....
>>292005728I don't know, anon. I don't think the anime will ever happen. Brainless normies hated on the manga from the very first chapter over supposed racism and now they're celebrating that it's ending.
So, no beach chapter?
>>292005824Chaper 76 will have Noma, Backbone, and Odori in skimpy bikinis. Trust.
>>292005749She can't put a baby in her.
>>292005824There was Lally's schizo dream with Soyo in bikini.
>>292005927
>>292005749Yeah, but who said I needed her permission or consent?
>>292003382I flat out don't understand how it turned out like this. Lily was a horrible person. How the fuck did we reach "we are not so different, I care about him"? It's so unrealistic
>>292003507It's the reason I think she's patient zero for the human plague as well. What a great way to increase the chances of a pathogen jumping species.
Everything could have been prevented if a certain little faggot wasn't a filthy little racemixer,that's the message of the manga
>>292003221>You've got it all wrongAHHHHH
Japanese commentshttps://shonenjumpplus.com/episode/9253191257689745155#episode-comment
>>292003411Do you think Ichikawa decided to wrap it up herself or was Drama Queen axed?P.S DQ debuted on December 2, 2024 and it looks like it'll end almost exactly two years later.
>>292006551Wait, my bad. It debuted on December 1st.
>>292006551If it was axed we wouldn't have had 50 chapters of Lily dying.
What killed the hype?
Good chapter and a consequent ending for Lily with some empathy for his sufferring. I like the message, that someone sufferring deserves salvation in the end. I think it hit the right emotional notes.
this shit is so ass.jpg
>>292006735Humanitarianism and egalitarianism.
>>292003411>only 4 episode leftI guess it's for the better, the manga derailed so fucking much and better die right now by the axe that keep living in this depressing state
>>292006735Cucktami turning into an alien loving bitch
>>292006551I don’t think it was axed. It seemed like it would be a short series from the beginning.
Don't forget that Drama Queen is supposed to be a comedy.
>>292003221GET OUT OF MY
I have some serious cognitive dissonance right now.
>>292007384That shows how fast being in Kitami's proximity kills you
>>292007384So she was a human this whole time?
>>292005778"brainless normies" (western twitter normalfags) have literally 0 impact on if a manga gets adapted to an anime or not
>only 4 episodes leftSo the lizardman really got his mind erased instead of being a genuine villain...
I don't think it was axed but it's probably more that Ichikawa feels there's not much left to explore with Lilly and Seiran dead and gay on the moon.Except there's actually a shitload to explore had she focused on Nomamoto from the start so the story would have been more thematic rather than just following two fags angsting for like 40 chapters.
Since we are probably getting two more volumes, does anyone have an idea how many pages are left?Could any of the 4 chapters left be longer than usual?
Why suddenly everyone in my timeline is talking about the manga? why these people weren't here in the previous 70 episodes?
>>292008339They were waiting for Nomamoto to do something since she's the MC.
>>292003411What the heck was even alien drama about in the first place? What is the main theme of this manga?????
>>292008339>evil chud racist manga is overOf course everyone will start talking about it, mostly celebrating how it got axed
>>292008318Nah, you shouldn't count on that. If there aren't enough pages, they can fill them with previous oneshots.
>>292006188>I flat out don't understand how it turned out like this. Lily was a horrible person. How the fuck did we reach "we are not so different, I care about him"? It's so unrealisticThis is from Kitami's perspective, who at this point is himself a horrible person killing aimlessly instead of intentionally to truly fulfill the cause he supposedly believed in. Kitami was dumping severe messes in Noma's lap since Day 1 and is the reason she got the virus. Perhaps the virus even messed up Noma's brain and that's why the much more normal Noma from the beginning of the manga hasn't been seen ever since. Lily was a much better person before his kid brother was framed and harassed into suicide, but he became aimless too and wouldn't just kill everyone in the class that wronged his brother and anyone who'd done something similar.
>>292003085Lily is so funny
The sequence in Lilly's mind was pretty good thanks to him realizing what it was and grappling with his inner struggles on his way to remembering Lally's face. This though >>292003411 feels like an asspull unless Nomatomo is being overdramatic (you could say a Drama Queen) or has regained a rare moment of lucidity from Chapter 1 and figures that if he's bleeding black ooze from her eyes and has been killing and eating space aliens for months, she probably has severe brain damage from a virus that will kill her.
>>292003411>This is the actual endingWhat the fuck. I know Lily was Kitami's lover but what the fuck do you mean we are ending
The ending should be Nomamoto riding a giant bomb filled with AIDS onto the alien planet
I liked this chapter and I think it's the first one I can say that about since the Ayy baby was introduced
>>292008590*She's bleeding black ooze from her eyes (though if she's bleeding, it'd be her blood anyway). >>292008594Yeah, it feels rushed. At least get the other people out of the sacks first and confirm if they're alive. Go check in on Earth with the virus and the violence.
>no break>4 chaptersYeah, the mangaka just want to end this quick, not even putting effort
>>292008672No no no, there is a break.
>>292004295Odori is never a hero, only a convenient tool that Haruo read like a book. Haruo and Kitsch are people actually taking a stand from major traumas that their society was increasingly only making worse. Their indiscriminate method could be questioned, but it was understandable why they did what they did and how they had basically no options.
>>292003411What if she dies in 4 chapters and this manga isn't actually ending
>>292003411>the aliens dont taste good anymore, im gonna dienow who's being a drama queen
>>292008754I thought the same, but then I checked the Japanese raw and it clearly says 4 chapters until the finale.
>>292004295How the fuck is it that a ayy loving whore and a fucking alien did more to bring about TAD than our protagonists?
>>292003623this post is aggressively homosexual
>>292003528>this is another one of those "why the fuck did I read this" mangaBecause is really good
>>292003623Kitami would say this
>>292003878>I just wanted my brother to racemixabsolutely based, actually
>>292003588>I liked this manga better when it was about how cool racism is, and not "revenge bad"so you never liked it? from chapter 1 the hatred is portrayed as a severely delusional trauma response from extremely unwell characters, plus even a cursory look into the other works of the mangaka makes it obvious that they were gonna go for some tragic drama-filled thing
>>292005778>Brainless normies hated on the manga from the very first chapter over supposed racismto be fair to them, even within this thread people are still delusionally holding on to the idea this is a racist manga because they don't actually care about anime and manga, their only interest is to signal to other anonymous men online how "based" they are by making everything about their own edgelord stances on the world instead of genuinely engaging with things they supposedly like and risking any sorta vulnerability or connectionirony poisoning really was the death for the discussion of this manga online, nobody wants to actually read what's on the page, they just wanna virtue signal to their in-group
I think we can get an anime out of this. Fucking everything gets adapted nowadays
>>292009361Who would voice Nomamoto?
>>292009361Drama Queen had strong views that eventually fell below a million per chapter, but its volume sales were always low. From a business perspective, there's no reason to make an anime.
>>292009291There's no irony in my racism, though
I dropped it like 50 chapters ago. Did it got better? Anime when?
>>292009690>Did it got better?Yes and then no and then yes and then no. Depends on who's the focus>Anime when?One day, I hope
I want Haruo to punch Kitami in the dick for this
Fuck, I wanted to say that this would just be the end of Part 1 and Irukawa would just take a break and come back with Part 2, but then I remembered that this IS Part 2, which started at chapter 47.
I can't with this cuck manga, wtf is thisWhy won't the author exterminate all aliens
>>292009134Lally...
>>292009872>Irukawa*Ichikawa
>>292009204I want a story of niggas following through with their trauma response, not cucking themselves
>>292009291I'm not racist, some of my best friends are aliens and help me commit terrorism.
>>292009872You can cope by saying that was Drama Queen 1 Part 2. And we could still get Drama Queen 2.
>>292009923That's actually what made the Haruo-Kitsch arc good for me.
>>292009951Best cope is that the comment "four more chapters to go" is some form of bait and may refer only to noma's death but not the manga as a whole
I miss my heroes
>>292003814>why is this ending 4 chapters after the antagonist dies??????
>>292009440And would they keep the Kitami/Lily VAs from the promo or recast?
>>292003316soulful>>292003356shut the fuck up
>>292010044Apparently the wording in Japanese is more explicit in saying 4 chapters until the end. >>292008930
>>292009937Faggots that killed the manga>>292010053OUR HEROES
>>292003382>PLEASE DON'T EAT THE GUY WHO MURDERED MY WHOLE FAMILY NOMAMOTO, HE DESERVES TO BE MOURNEDI truly, sincerely, with my whole heart, hope this pathetic faggot dies an agonizing death in the next 4 chapters.
>>292010353Comedy manga. He is supposed to be cringy like that.
>>292003045Will he live?
>Brother just wanted his aliencel manlet brother to crossbreed but he failed so hard he got everybody killedJesus, how embarrassing
>>292003221Don’t say those words
>>292003411Her favorite food is gone
>>292007268But who was the drama queen?
>>292008339The alien lovers finally got the manga axed**After successfully running for over a year and showing that 99% of aliens are evil
>>292003266I would unironically grab that bitch and make her my fleshlight.
Who's the real drama queen in all this?https://poal.me/nt7jvohttps://poal.me/nt7jvohttps://poal.me/nt7jvo
>>292011171Soyo.Literally made up a drama at school and it lead to a fucking race war.
>>292011206Did it? Haruo was already on a revenge path from being kidnapped as a kid. He only got the idea to make a bomb from Kitami, and even then, making a virus was all on Kitsch and Haruo.If aliens didn't mistreat Kitsch's race, or took advantange of humans, nothing would have happened.
>>292010853*and dead
>selfish faggot died with zero regrets for what he did on earth, only deluded himself into thinking that his brother was thankful for setting him up for his suicide>kitami believes this shitstain needs to be treated with respectthis somehow keeps getting worse.
>>292003411>4 chapters leftGlasses psycho feels like a dropped plot thread, like the author was going to do a lot more with him originally.
>>292003411>I'm gonna diedie of cringe, us readers too, remember; noma is the main character and all around her are the drama queens
>>292003411So, will we finally know why she was the only one able to eat and digest several times her own bodyweight in alien meat?
Cucktami should be CBT'd to death
I don't get it. Is the comedy in Lily believing he deserves this closure?
>>292013479the comedy is using a race war to bait people into reading doomed yaoi
>>292013838Why are fujos like that?
>>292003411>only four chapters to goTHANK GODand nomamoto is dying i guess
>>292003411https://x.com/krk_rrr/status/2117024132193726549Ichikawa:>4 episodes left until the finale >Thanks to everyone, I was able to draw everything I wanted to >From here, there are about two more developments, and various things will connect >Look forward to it
>>292005565Nanatsu no Taizai did a countdown to the end only for it to continue.Don't think it really got an actual announcement that it'd be ending, just the end usual end-of-chapter stuff like here.
>>292003316That's cute.
>>292014565So, it truly is over. Also>Two more plot twistsAny bets?
>>292005778>Brainless normies hated on the manga from the very first chapter over supposed racismMost of them dropped this manga within the first few chapters, meanwhile anons who liked DQ because they believed it was le edgy racism derailed discussion once DQ started more blatantly questioning Kitami's goals and the introduction of the real Lally happened
>>292006735The manga looked like it was going to be about a Serial Killer duo killing Aliens but it quickly became something else entirely and a lot of people lost interest and left. Some people stuck around because they thought we might get back on track to the initial premise eventually but that ended up becoming a background thing to the rest of the plot
>>292003411>I'm gonna dieWhat a Drama Queen you just have a cold
>questioning Kitami's goalslmao
the pacing and writing have been pretty much irredeemable after the roof top part.
>>292014900yea?
>>292014918Some of what happened with Kitami has been good. Same with Odori and Haruo making fun of Lily while being beaten
>>292003045wtf is even going on anymore
>>292014918Haruo and Odori tormenting Lily and Kitami and Backbone bonding were good chapters.
>>292003411I can save her
Now that it's finally over, which characters do you think belong in the BASED category, and which characters turned out to be irredeemable FAGGOTs?I'm thinking>Kitsch = Based>Haruo = Based>Kitami = Faggot>Lily = Faggot
>>292015018nothing that happened with kitami was good since the time skip.
I was feeding myself hope that the manga would somehow keep going. The author probably got a call from the higher ups to shut it down.
>>292015071all characters are fine except for kitami who is the biggest faggot in fiction.
>>292015071Backbone = Based and straightOdori = Surprisingly basedNoma = Based
>>292015088more like completely ran out of ideas.
>>292015088Lily's dead and this was never really about the race war, so there's not much left to do
>>292015094Iglaskar = Embarrassing humiliated FAGGOT
>>292003045>Live OnBecome Drama Queen
>>292015165
>>292003411>sadlyWhat do you mean? This made my day.
>>292015208Who is that?
>>292003411>4 chapters leftThat's it? Man what a waste of time this manga was
>>292015468Fire Punch, from the manga Fire Punch.
>>292014652The main twist will be a time reset.
>>292006551Too natural a conclusion to be axed.Im guessing the author didn't really want to continue with a more marketable characters or more easy-to-digest story. So they just decided to write an ending where it would fit.
I dont know how this mess could be salvaged.
>>292003157Anime soon?
>>292015716Why yes, based author stuck to his guns and preserved his work to be accessible only to the select few who truly understand (buy my books from the biggest publisher in Japan)
>>292015714This guy is the biggest letdown of this story. We knew nothing about him and will never know because he became retarded.
>>292006735Lilly and Cuktami.
>>292015865He is ragebaiting you IRL by being a wated character
>>292003382Kitami I dont think your as bad as other people say but holy shit this is cucked
>>292003382Haruo is still in the bag btw
>>292011155Lally...
>>292016450>MFW the manga ends with Haruo and Odori never getting out of the bags
>>292003221Today was full of "nutrients"
>>292016780Huh? I think I'm missing something...
Damn, I'm really gonna miss reading this weekly. Anime is probably a pipe dream, but I'd kill for one.
>>292009000Our glorious hero Haruo’s charisma.
>>292015094Backbone = super hot, and lesbian afHaruo = giga-based
>>292015505That’s how this will end:>become Drama Queen>Thanks Drama Queen? W-what? B-because, you’re… a Drama Queen
>>292003411>4 chapters leftFinally this trash will go away and something else gets a go at the magazine slot. How do you fuck up "migrants must go" plot so much?
>>292017324>how do you fuck it up so much?By being a woman…
>>292015071Haruo and Kitsch are based, compelling characters. Everyone else is trash, be it as a person or a character. Nomamoto can sometimes be entertaining when she actually takes center stage, but is clearly a bad person. Lily had some interesting moments, but those are fewer and fewer with only this chapter getting close to real impact again.
>>292003411>4 more chaptersOnly 8 more weeks until it's over...
>>292017536It's still not enough time. I'm not ready...
>>292017484I like that Nomamoto is just a genuinely bad personPeople are afraid to write true scumbag protagonists now
>>292017324>How do you fuck up "migrants must go" plot so much?Because that's not the real plot. It's a story about bad things happening to people which eats them up so much they become bad people who then do bad things to people which eats them up so much they become bad people and so on
>>292018570But nothing bad happened to Nomamoto other than nig---errr ayyliens existing in her city.
>>292003045Sad to see this one go but yeah, author kun/chan is clearly tired. I at least hope the ending isn't too shit.
>>292003411Hair down sexo>4 Chapters left>DieNOOOOOOOO
>>292003411Officially worse than csm part 2 imo
>>292019111...if you're from planet retard
>>292019134Which is our planet considering every event that happens.
>>292017324>something else gets a go at the magazine slot.Which magazine might that be?
Seiran and Lilly the more they kill, their bodies would even get more fucked up with scars.It´s like they loose ther humanity or alienality.
>>292019620Isekai about Lally*
>>292003411>lizard eyes actually got hit with the retard ray for real and wasn't pretending to be retarded
People still read this utter garbage? How is it still going
what a waste of fucking time how did this manga about killing alien invaders to save your town turn into a homoerotic tragedy about muh poor aliens none of this fucking matters, even if they aren't all evil and have sad backstories, they're still infesting and destroying your town and culture. never allow women to write stories ever again
>>2920204884 chapters is plenty of time for him to reveal his lizard form and rape everyone

>>292017624Waiting someone to cosplay an alien
>>292018570this is what you want it to be but this is not what the writing in the manga is at all.
kitami is genuinely one of the worst written characters ever.dont forget that he was ok with lily stomping out his friends.everybody else in the story behaves in a way that more or less makes sense for the situation they are in but kitami is an actual disaster.he's an absolute anchor that drags the story to hell.
>>292021308The point of Kitami is that he sucks ass. The question is whether he's still interesting to read about in some way when he sucks ass in the way and to the degree that he does. Haruo is also the only remotely good or worthwhile person Lily has ever kidnapped. Kitami still doesn't account for that though, so he again sucks ass in that regard.
Kitami have always been a retard. His first action was to literally throw a hammer at his problems like a caveman. He didn't even think of wearing a mask and got caught after 2 chapters.Haruo is our true hero.
So in the end this guy was just the author's self-insert.
>>292021645So far nobody in the story reacts to kitami being as awful as he is even though his actions are directly impacting everybody else which is also dragging the writing down.He simply doesnt suck in a believable way whatsoever. when he was murdering aliens his actions were questionable and straight up stupid in many ways, but I could still see him as a character that makes sense given his experiences and environment. That went out of the window.>I want to get rid of the alien invaders who changed my life for the worse and killed my familyIs an extreme but pretty human reaction that many would at least consider, but probably not follow through.>I'm ok with a psychopath who admitted to murdering my family trying to make me kill my friends because my sister bullied his brother and he needs to be treated with respect for thatIs not. This goes way beyond humanizing aliens and acknowledging that you made a mistake, which would be pretty lame, but at least believable.
>>292021944Most of the people Kitami surrounds himself with are extremely stupid, but Kitami is pretty pathetic to not even consider his parents as wrongfully killed. Kitami's sister was a rancid cunt. If Lily just kept his actions targeted at Soyo and the other harassers, Kitami's current state would make a bit more sense. Trying to entertain the notion of killing his "friends" is utterly pathetic though if Kitami isn't also reconsidering why he even considers these people "friends." If he thinks there's no human/person element to someone like Dykebone or Odori, why affiliate with them? Why with the lizard bastard? Haruo at least has that human/person element like Kitami and Lily.
>>292017324>How do you fuck up "migrants must go" plot so much?At this point it seems pretty obvious that that plot was either a complete bait-and-switch from the start, or her editors forced her to reel it in after all of the initial controversy. I'm leaning towards the former, because at multiple points, the story started to lean back into TAD and the anti-migrant stuff, just to be yanked back into the Cucktami drama nobody cared about. However, the story was so all-over-the-place the entire manga that I wouldn't be surprised if it was the result of Ichikawa wanting to write one story, then being forced to write something completely different and salvage what she had already planned. The fact that iguana got hit with the tard beam and his plot thread never went anywhere suggests this.
>>292022295there was no way the story wouldnt have included the question if killing aliens willy nilly is just or not. if it wasnt kitami some other character wouldve been about that for sure.lily was also introduced pretty early and there was build up to a confrontation.it just seems like the artist railroaded herself in an extremely awkward way and made it way too personal in a stupid way and now its kinda too late to take a step back and explore other aspects of it.you have to consider that while all this gay shit is happening there is a literal race war on earth and the alien planet exploded and everything is going to hell, so its not like the setting moved away from its original premise. the behind the scenes stuff is actually wilder than what I originally expected when it started. you just have the main plot end up being extremely retarded and stretched out and weak.I think that there was a lot of potential in weaving the plot/message into the premise better. Now a lot of it just feels wasted.
>>292019111Not even close.
>>2920224352 and 3 easily fit in one chapter.Save 2.5 chapters for Iggy's antics.Then the last chapter for the epilogue.
So who turned out to be the Drama Queen in the end? The readers.

>>292025294Honestly, the treatment of DQ/Ichikawa makes me a little more hopeful for an anime to be possible. They seem fond of it even with the low sales.
>>292025428Are digital sales tracked? Maybe that's where DQ makes good/decent numbers. Or maybe just the sheer number of views each chapter gets is enough for J+.
>>292016798>kengan virgin
>>292025605Digital is harder to track. I think the views not outright cratering after the initial shock calmed down alongside the generally positive reaction (on the JP J+ comment section anyway) helped a lot. Even now the official J+ Xitter account markets most chapter updates with "the controversial Jump+ manga!", kek. So the initial storm and solid retention was able to earn it a bit of breathing room for a while, seems like.
>>292017536>not counting extra two week break right before final chapteramateur
>>292022556You'll agree once the final chapter is out
>>292027642NTAI'll bet my ass Ichikawa won't pull a CSM Part 2 style ending.
>>292027900I've calculated all the potential endings to DQ and they still won't be anywhere near as ass as CSM P2.It was peak dogshit that Fuji diligently set up for years in order to have it be the pinnacle of garbage endings, including a solidly drawn/written part 1 that he flushed down the toilet
>>292027964You say that but once you see kitami with his half blockhead daughter you'll change your tune.
Would a 2 cour anime even be enough to cover everything?
>>292028060>Half blockhead daughterIs Seiran mpregnant or something? I don't think Ichikawa is that deranged.
>>292028340Probably, as long as each episode adapts 3-4 manga chapters, it should be more than enough.
>>292028060Only if the father is Lily
>>292022509I'm still disappointed we never got a real exploration of the race war on Earth. At most I can see it being mentioned during the prologue that Haruo went back to Earth to join the fun but even then that's still basically nothing
>>292025294
>>292028433I hope your right, Anon.I would love to see this actually get animated in full
>>292021900>Haruo is our true hero.Always was
>>292003045Friendly reminder that Lily went to Huntaway Island.
>>292030744I totally forgot about this. What chapter is it from?
>>29203107012
>>292031240Thank you!
>>292031302You're welcome bro
>>292003344huh?? he mourning an alien?? or is that lily?!!?>>292003382LONG HAIR NOMAMOTO????>>292003411HOW MUCH DID I MISS
>>292027900part 2's ending saved part two and power won btw
>>292031697>how much did I miss?A FUCK TON.YOU PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY'RE ON THE MOON.
>>292031697Yeah it's LilyNot the first ayy to be mourned, although the other one actually deserved it
>>292031808THEYRE FUCKING WHEREEEEE
>>292031878Yeah. Look at the last panel, that's Earth (which is currently under total chaos due to a pandemic + race war)
Kitsch learnt to make bombs back when he was on his home world right?
>>292032118Unclear I think.
>>292032118>>292032153I'm assuming he did because there's far less of a reason for him to learn while on Earth, and because he was already old by the time we meet him.I wouldn't be surprised if he was a freedom fighter for his people back when he was young. He probably saw himself in Haruo in that regard
>>292032376I want Kitsch spin-off.
>>292032410Same, Haruo, same
>>292015071Man, imagine if the manga was from Haruo's and Kitsch's point of view, people would have suicided when they reached the Kitami arc
>>292003528The beginning was fantastic
>>292033941>In a world where Aliens have immigrated on mass to Earth, a Japanese nationalist and a ayy ethnic minority (who's a possible former terrorist) team up because the longsnouts have wronged both of their peoples. >Also Odori is there too sometimes. It would've been a better manga. It also would've been funnier seeing people freak out about it originally
>>292034159When you think about it, the Haruo-Kitsch duo had everything; you could even have more light-hearted slice-of-live chapters of them hunting MILFs for Kitsch
>>292034463>>292034159Remember, we had an 18 time skip. A spin-off manga or at the very least a one-shot about what Kitsch/Haruo were up to during that time is completely possible. Someone bring this idea up to Bitchikawa.
>>292021943>Lost all his memories in the end.The symbolism...
>>292022509It's actually really funny, because you know all that more interesting shit is happening.But all you get is two drama queens.I'm not saying this is good writing, but it does feel intentional in a way.
>>292034463>>292034617We will get an episode's worth of anime only scenes of Kitsch and Haruo fucking around, hunting MILFs and doing whatever else.Trust the plan
>>292033941DQ but starting from Haruo's perspective would've been a hilarious shitshow down the line.>Story gets totally subsumed by the personal drama of a side character (Seiran) and minor antag (Lily)>Kitsch (main character) dying due to said side character's drama>Multiple chapters of Haruo just being imprisoned while crippled>Stuck in a bag while the personal drama takes the focus AGAIN
>>292034965Somehow that is the only way to get people to hate Kitami more
I like Kitami
>>292036792Said no one ever after the rooftop arc.
>>292008353It's been a day but I still wanna bully you.They fucking beat you over the head with it for like 20 chapters and you still don't get it, like come on man.
>>292034965You forgot to add:- Hey Kitami, is this lizard guy dangerous?Mmm, should I warn Haruo about the guy who kidnapped me? No.- Oh, that guy, nah, he is cool.So much of Haruo's life got fucked thanks to Kitami being a faggot.
I wouldn't have believed you if you told me Kitami would end up being more retarded than Nomamoto at the start of the manga.
The moment I saw Iglaskar quote American History X, I knew Kitami would cuckout at some point.
>>292039211when does kitami get assraped by alien haters
>>292039268Hopefully soon.
>>292039211>>292039268https://youtube.com/shorts/-DYsr6V6sD4?si=ygTB71bYYYC7CkSp
>>292039268When Haruo gets out of the bag.
>>292021251Yeah sure anon
>>292037047please spell it out because I dont see anything that makes sense.-lily is obsessing over a single individual who actually had nothing to do with soyo bullying his brother so its just retarded and not even a mirror to early kitami and then dies while coping-kitami is beyond pathetic and is ok with lily killing his family and now friends because ???-meanwhile the events on earth prove that coexistence with aliens is not possiblethis is a trainwreck
I think another issue with DQ was the lack of a strong Alien castSure, TAD and whatever but DQ would have done well to have a cast of Alien's trying to integrate into a Society that on the surface welcomes them but deep down resents them for the special privileges it's Government gives them. I would have loved to see how an Alien reacts to their Alien friends and family going missing and how disinterested or unwilling the Government is in solving those missing persons cases despite being the one's to promote Special Treatment towards AliensWhat happened to Lally and the School trying to erase his existence off the map because his suicide looked bad on them was fascinating. Soyo made up a blatant lie but her classmates went along with it because Society didn't just accept Aliens overnight The author created an interesting World but rarely gives us deeper looks into it and Lally was the deepest we ever got. Every other Alien is just a joke character that's gonna get killed in a couple of panels
>>292039995Outside of Kitsch and Lily (and I guess Lally but he's already dead) none of the aliens actually matter. It would've been interesting having another one but I'm not complaining about not getting one
>racism is... le bad endingIncredible how much this fell off.
>>292039995I wouldnt care about that angle that much.The aliens shown so far were fine. The plot just focused too much on lily and he just isnt interesting whatsoever.
>>292040061I think Kitami being such a wet blanket about Lily dampens him. Lily slowly becoming more and more deranged over time is fun but more Lily means more Kitami "being like that"
>>292003411>Only four more chapters to go Fuck, man. Started out pretty strong, but it just fucking had to turn into some retarded gay melancholic shit.
>>292040075I feel like Lily should've been even more deranged. He should've been a guy who pushes Kitami to be more like himself, to feel better about himself and the choices he made in holding onto anger and taking innocent lives.The revenge angle alone was a little dry. Originally Lily seemed like he was about more than just that.He already got his "vengeance", his whole deal with Kitami should've been him trying to feel good about it by pushing Kitami on the same path.
Lily𝅘𝅥𝅮 can tank the end of the manga
Lily will get up next chapter
This is the first time I have read a manga weekly since chapter 1 and it turned out fucking dogshit.
Haruo, save us
>>292003221I feel I don't get it. Why are we supposed to feel sympathetic for the murderous serial killer? Am I missing something here?
>>292041095Kitami is a fagPrease understandu
>>292041095Yeah, for some reason
>>292039983I mean, coexistence being impossible seems to be the conclusion the story is going for. Kitami seems to blame the universe itself and nature for making them interact with each other rather than focusing on blaming only Lily.Ironically, the Haruo-Kitsch part kinds show is possible, but only when the two sides have a third party to focus the anger towards.
>wakes up>"damn I had a horrible nightmare where I was a cuck"
>>292045095i hate xiggers
>>292045466Please no.
>>292045466>who is lily? what do you mean i bullied his brother? aliens? a pandemic?! ugh, you're just tired, bro. c'mon, we'll be late to the carnival!
>>292045095kitsch being "one of the good ones" is an entirely different dynamic that just comes from him being one guy.if there was a significant short snout population on earth there would probably be other types of frictions. maybe attempts at trying to drag humans into their alien blood feuds.the manga itself said that at first it was all good but it only got worse when more and more aliens showed up.the individual alien isnt the problem for most. though ironically, lily is the individual who is a problem.
>>292045095Kitsch was a different type of Ayy, and arguably Haruo was a different type of man
>>292045466this is how we can save kitami
BREATHING IN THE DARKLYING ON ITS SIDE
>>292040651happens
>>292045942Get Kitami the fuck outHe doesn't deserve to be with our heroes
>>292046052He doesn't cuck out in this version.
You know what I think? Fuck Kitami. He shouldn't have been introduced at all. Noma should have been the only MC and everything should have revolved around her.
>>292045095>coexistence being impossible seems to be the conclusion the story is going for.Primarily because our protags kept fucking around>Noma ate so many alien corpses she inadvertently spread what was once an Alien exclusive diseases to humans, no one is aware of this though so it's entirely blamed on Aliens>Haruo and Kitsch created bio-bombs to infect Aliens and while this didn't plan out Haruo had a plan B bio attack with Odori that worked on in the endThings like the extermination group that kills Aliens were kept in the background but Haruo and Kitsch practically ripped off whatever bandaid there was keeping the pot from boiling over
>>292046701>Haruo and Kitsch practically ripped off whatever bandaid there was keeping the pot from boiling overAnd that's why they are the heroes of this manga and the only good people in all of Drama Queen
>>292040037Yeah, this could have been a 10/10 all time classic, but it got wasted on lily X kiran slop. I remember lilyfags saying the entire time that he "was the best character in the manga" even though he should have fucking died in the car crash or the stage at worst. The manga had some great artistic talent though and some panels like the ones where the dead angels are haunting him as angels I can still remember clearly.
>>292045680the virus never happened and they deserved it
>>292047175him dying on the beach would've been fine.after that, you could switch to kitami and iglaskar being the main villains while haruo and kitsch are the heroes
>>292046683cucktami was fine until chapter 3 when he willingly let himself get kidnapped by a glowie and even worked for him. it would've been fine if cucktami killed him in his sleep but no... and it all just went further downhill from there. honestly huntaway should've fucking executed cucktami and sebone
>>292039983The anon you're replying to here:The main theme of the manga is this mechanism of "I'm justified" that every character invokes.This comes to a head during the idol concert, when it's revealed Lally was a bullied bitch. Where Lily calls Kitami out for acting like "a tragic heroine" despite the fact his sister was a bitch who deserved it. And Lily later admits he was the one acting like a tragic heroine all along and none of the shit he did was really necessary.Lily ends his story as an extreme of the theme of self-justification while internalizing that he is exactly the same as Kitami's sister (thus the worm). In the end Lily just wanted to hurt someone, and Kitami was someone he could victimize and feel good about it.Meanwhile, Kitami has completely collapsed inwards on the theme. Despite Lily being an insane maniac, Kitami reached the nonsense conclusion that he can't justify killing Lily. That he, personally, "isn't allowed to". Which is pathetic. It is pathetic. Kitami's realization achieves nothing, and in the end he doesn't even give Lily absolution, Nomamoto does.Nomamoto is the big piece to this.She doesn't care about justification or drama. She just does things arbitrarily like a dog. You should be able to see this extreme contrast between her and the rest of the story's themes in the chapter where she ding-dong ditches her dad. She doesn't really have a reason to hate him besides him being a bad dad. But she still annoys him every week because she finds it funny. Despite the fact that everyone in the story are fucking insane maniacs, everyone acts like Nomamoto is crazy because she doesn't really have a reason for doing much of anything. As if "I hate aliens" was a justification for anything else.Something something, this is also why the first arc makes a point to have the big "We saved Earth you niggers" and "Well I guess they saved the Earth" contrast. Just posting this before the thread dies.
>>292003045ending soon, get ready
