This 1st chapter for new manga came out and it has certainly made a impression on western anime fandom. They are claiming it is racist, xenophobic, etc. And honestly, I can see it, with the characters saying some similar language to said people. But someone also brought up as an anti-west or anti-colonialist themes, with them being against the occupation of their planet. Ultimately, its barley 1 chapter out, so I don't want to judge it just on this
>>26352>The whole car scene with the alien getting away with crime is a Japanese right-winger talking point with kurds having access to cars and crashing them, supposed mass crime and gangs, and believing the media is covering for themOr it's a reference to American soldiers getting away with fatal hit-and-runs in Okinawa which has happened multiple times.
Ultimately none of us can tell what's going on in the mangaka's head, but I guess it's fair to say that if you write a story trying to communicate something (seems to clearly be the case here) but the audience has zero idea of what you're trying to say you probably fucked up somewhere.
