A new weekly shonen jump :gokurun: manga aptly named "Drama Queen" is causing some commotion amongst weebs :marseycatgirl: for potentially being fascist/anti-immigrant :mussolini: (or is it anti-colonial? :marseyquestion: )

To give a summary of the manga :marseylongpost:.

>manga with genderswapped Denji protag :marseydenji: working a wagie job.

>Society where aliens saved humanity from a meteor, then integrated (i.e. they hold jobs and relationships with humans)

>protag is mistreated by some aliens

>Protag joins up with another dude to commit hate crimes against the aliens

To give a bit more context. Here's a comment from an /r/manga user pointing out some "problematic" stuf from the manga :marseypopcorntime:.

"17 million," "they don't even speak our language," "I don't even see this thing as a human," "clear this city."

MC hates gendered terms like partner and commits hate crimes against "alien" immigrants (I think it's important to note that they aren't really portrayed as colonizers here so much as they are immigrants).

Either it's satire or Xenophobia the manga, lol.

So as you can guess redditors aren't taking it well :marseydisagree:.

/r/twobestfriendsplay reactions:marseypikachu2: .

Not gonna lie, the description on the site alone sort of set off some alarm bells for me

If the description set off alarm bells, the actual manga will have you losing your mind because this is the most blatant it has EVER been. The manga is straight full of barely-hidden dogwhistles and far right anti-immigrant talking points.

Like MAYBE later chapters can subvert it by making the mcs straight villains and deconstructing all the blatant hate in the first chapter, but it REALLY doesn't seem like that's the case and anyone saying it does is coping unbelievably hard. :marseypearlclutch:

___

Gintama but what if Gintoki hated the immigrants

___

I keep seeing people claim thus is anti-colonial because the aliens are the population majority but that part just kinda reads like a Great Replacement Conspiracy dystopia to me.

It's 100% ripped straight from great replacement theory style conspiracies..

The thread on /r/weeklyshonenjump is locked because y'all can't behave :marseyjanny2:

Comments are starting to become more political and insulting so locking this now.

___

They can't seem to agree on whether it's chuddy or satire :marseysurejan:.

Ill try to give the author the benefit of the doubt since its only the first chapter and the art is good.

That being said im unsure if the manga is meant to be satirical, wish-fulfillment, anti-colonialist, or anti-immigration (might be all of them, idk).

I'll stick around for the ride though since their previous oneshots are appearently pretty good + its rare for Jump to release something this unhinged

___

:marseyeyeroll:

It felt extremely clunky to me. I kept thinking if it was a seinen manga doing the same premise, the MCs would be way more intriguing or likeable, while the racist undertones would slightly more subtle or overtop black comedic to make the viewer uncomfortable to root for the protagonists or follow their story.

The MCs just came off as boring buttholes to me, made it hard for me to care what happens to them. Its only the first chapter so who knows what will happen.

___

:marseyraging:

It is incredibly racist and xenophobic. People can say it's "anti colonialism" but the Aliens are not in power enough for that to be the case. They are essentially on the same level as Humans. It goes into all the racist and Xenophobic red flags this kind of media has. Blaming an entire race for the death of your family, being conspiratory about the meteor, and saying they are "taking our jobs and women" is certainly a choice.

Now that being said, if they portray the Main Characters as clear bad guys moving forward, I think it can work as a commentary on being a right wing conspiracy nut. But the First chapter doesn't do enough to say "hey these guys are clearly the bad guys of the story"

It's dangling on a tightrope and we can only hope it turns out to be more "Cosmos/Tokyo Aliens/Aliens Area" and less "Tokyo Shinobi Squad"

And no even if the Aliens faked the meteor attack in order to peacefully immigrate to planet earth and that is used to justify their deaths, it would still be racist but in a different way.

Even /r/VaushV is talking about it for some reason :marseyshrug:.

New fascist manga just dropped (Drama Queen)

/r/animecirclejerk has a similar reaction.

I made this after reading Drama Queen chapter 1.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/173332476443128.webp

Even the SRDines :marseysrdine2: are discussing it.

Insular nation famous for its lack of friendliness to immigrants and low migration rate makes a manga that could be interpreted as xenophobic and anti-migration

Redditors: How could Japan do this?!?! :smugjak:

___

Honestly I think it's simply not good enough in the modern day to continue relying on the "non-humans as substitute for minorites" trope, even if the takeaway is that discrimination is bad. :marseynails:

So what do you guys think? Satire or Chud ? :marseyagree:

!anime !kino

Edit: /a/ is discussing it too but they seem to be pushing for a console wars with chainsawman.

I think it's unironic chuddery about immigrants, Americans mostly

The aliens saved Japan 7 years ago, the 2011 earthquake and tsunami was 13 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Tomodachi

The parents death thing is related to multiple times a year a Marine or contractor causes an international incident drunk driving in Japan https://www.stripes.com/theaters/asia_pacific/2024-03-15/marine-sentence-dui-crash-okinawa-13326594.html

Saw an alien with a Japanese woman, billions must die, is obviously a Marine or sailor dating a Japanese woman and not knowing enough Japanese to apologize

The aliens are supposed to be the average /a/ poster (fat right-wing conspiracy nut degenerate). But you're spot on about the American part.

The allegory is that there are loonie theories going on about how (((they))) will destroy the world only for it to be "saved" by aliens they made a deal with. Probably from Saturn.

Don't get me wrong, I actually find it pretty interesting! :marseyagreewarpspeed: A chud protag (one that is most likely a "villain protag") is genuinely something rare, so it's a breath of fresh air.

But it's absolutely satire, especially with it having blatant "saw a girl walking with an alien, japan has fallen billions must die" scene, "great replacement" imagery, and obviously pushing the MCs as being irrational conspiratards.

Tbh. I wrote my comment literally 30 seconds after finishing the chapter, and I'm not as firm in my stance now then I was back then (40 minutes ago). It is indeed possible that every alien they meet being a complete abusive butthole is a coincidence, and it's all bait and switch. While this seems extremely lame now, maybe we get some foreshadowing later that will make it make sense. idk.

And yes, nothing the aliens did for now warrants them being murdered.
