It’s just an everyday apocalypse. Three years ago the aliens invaded Tokyo. Nothing was ever the same again. But after a while, even impending doom starts to feel ordinary. The Japanese Self Defense Forces are still looking for a way to combat the looming alien threat three years after the invasion, but so far conventional weapons have had no effect on the mothership. Maybe it’s time to try something unconventional. Meanwhile, Kadode Koyama is in high school. She and her best friend avidly track the aliens’ movements on social media and less enthusiastically study for college entrance exams. When the end of the world is overhead, you learn to take things one step at a time.

I get that this is going for a strange "mundane life goes on even when the world is ending" kind of vibe, but it would be served better if it made ANY SORT OF SENSE.
Reading this felt like I was off-kilter and inches away from Getting It every other page. These aren't characters, these are weirdos who said weirdo things that make NO damn sense. Could I tell you the difference between the two best friends if they didn't have different hair? Hell no. Why was there a weird almost teacher/student subplot?? Every single theme, character, plot, scene, conversation felt like half of it was missing from the story entirely. It was just ODD.
I did grab the first 3 volumes from my library, but I don't care enough to continue.
