Dystopia Manga about invasion of the aliens in the planet that was occupied by the human. It is OK for the 1st volume. The story can balanced between the drama, action, horror. Wait for the next volume (I read in Thai translate)

Good first volume. The plot follows John, a one armed man who wanders the wasteland of Earth, which has been taken over by unknown numbers of aliens that kill people on sight.

John is a very interesting protagonist. He doesn’t talk much or think, and he has only his sister a reason to live. The other characters we meet also seem interesting and are up to no good.

You are not coming to this series for the artwork, as it is pretty limited, but it makes up for it in a good story and great paneling. Paneling has become my make or break for manga series (it’s basically editing in a movie or show), and I am so glad that this series delivers. Will continue to read and you should check it out.

Up to ch. 5:
Ever since the invasion of the totally-not-xenomorphs, John is having an extremely bad time, and it's only getting worse.
Love the art style and the page layouts, and especially the shorthand faces which are like 😐 I also love Leon - no idea if he's trustworthy, but my god, he's a riot. I hope this'll have an English or German print release one day.

Great start to a series. Bits of Tatsuki Fujimoto (with art & style, evokes fire punch a bit for me), of course Alien/s (especially the alien design), some the walking dead & shingeki no kyojjn too (bleak post apocalyptic stuff). Looking forward to seeing where this one goes.

โลกถูกทำลายจากการมาเยือนของเอเลี่ยน

ผมคิดว่าเป็นมังงะคลื่นลูกใหม่ที่ใีกลิ่นอายของ comic ของฝั่งตะวันตก แต่ยังคงไม่ละทิ้งเอกลักษณ์ของมังงะไป ซึ่งดูจะเป็นก้าวต่อไปของมังงะญี่ปุ่นก็เป็นไปได้

ใครที่ชอบแนว Sci-fi / Horror / Action / Thriller น่าจะชอบเรื่องนี้ได้ไม่ยากเลยครับ

only 9 chapters out so far, but it seems pretty promising! I like the artstyle and panelling, plus the humour is pretty good. excited to see where it goes :3

I’ve read 6 chapters and it’s really good so far.

If you love the 'Aliens' movie franchise, you're gonna love this one too.
