"Hey...people are making fun of our manga, saying it's dumb..."
"Oh yeah?! How about "全危険区域救助及び戦闘用防御甲冑 [マン・ザ・シェル]"]
"All those kanji stringed together!! I feel smarter already!"
"Yeah! That will teach them!"
"...best tell folk how to read all that, though..."
"I'll look it up..."
"Won't people think it's Chinese-"
"YOU SHUT UP RIGHT NOW WE HAVE STRINGS OF CHARACTERS AS WELL I HAVE SEEN THEM BEFORE."

Had to look up [銀河蝦虎魚]. Guess how many hits in Japanese I got? Zero. Guess how many in Chinese? ALL OF THEM.
I don't even think I got an actual exact match either, but I got the general gist of it.

Flashback about the cuteness of kids...Russian kids, Eastern European kids, Chinese kids...
Spoken by a woman who wants to learn about child rearing at a higher learning level, too. I mean, I guess it's fine but feels...strange? Is it just me?
"Aren't children cute? Russian kids, and Eastern European kids, and Chinese kids." I guess all other kids are implied, but...why...I mean, she is Russian but...idk.

Oh, man.
So the Russians got a special weapon made out the mandibula of a Gori-roach and called it...wait for it...wait....
CAUSCASUS KALINKA!
Of course. What else?

The sky darkens with flying roaches, dude looks up at the sky and says, "The five thousand roaches or thereabouts". There are...more roaches than that, at the very least fifty thousand of them.

...and I have to insist on how dumb this is.
They need to inject a serum to gain access to their powers. These are kept in their clothes!
SO IF YOU'RE NAKED...YOU ARE ENTIRELY VULNERABLE!
And this has happened before!
I beg of you all, just...die. All of you. Do it for humankind. Please.

Just...just let the roaches take over.
seriously. Let them wipe out all life on Earth, it's clear, by now, that humanity has selected itself out of existence by sheer stupidity.
"Oh, I have to shower and on my own, too, in a planet infested by monstrous creatures eager to kill me. Not letting in any mens (Yes, 'mens) either, or even a strong woman, of which there are a few around. Oh no. I'm too shy, you see."

Can we stop with the showering!
FFS!
You idiots are under siege, there is an entire planet worth of very strong giant roaches revving to kill you AND you know they have targeted people in the bath before!
If you do insist on showering- BUT WHY, SAVE THAT DAMN WATER!!!!- at least do so in groups!
You idiot of a woman.

So, while these idiots are having a fight to the death in a planet infested by giant killer roaches bent on killing all humans...guess what happens!
Could the roaches attack them?! Oh, no...surely not...now what are odds of that happening? 100%? Well. I'd never.

And that final bit is transliterated English, "Man in the Shell".
Amidst the stupidity- I will review it, my brain demands it- the Chinese characters are by far the smartest. Absurdly evil but smart so I am rooting for them. Rather than "Oh, let me go shower with giant roaches around, what can go wrong!"
The first time they ever encounter these monsters, an idiot girl SAYS HI TO ONE! Walks over to it! Giant cockroach, super strong, scary like wow. She goes "hi!".
I mean...they have it coming.
And she tries to speak to it in English, too...should have stringed kanji together. Her idiot boyfriend just stands by, too!
Oh boy lol this sounds so absurdly silly ! Glad you are going to review it! I have been reading all your updates, feeling entertained and confused all at the same time …
First the octopus battle ( was it octopus? You know my memory…) then clouds of roaches 🪳😂…I was like …what is this book ????🤣

Oh, it's really something else! Here is the insane premise: in order to make Mars habitable, scientists decide to send a bunch of roaches so as to lower the temperature (or is it raise it? I forget). Then, after 500 years, they decide to send poor sods to kill the roaches, since the planet can now sustain human life.
Little did they know that the roaches had evolved! They are now human-like, ripped with muscles, and terrifying. So imagine you are walking about on Mars, your mission being pest control and you stumble on a 2 meter plus roach, standing upright! Do you run? Inform your teammates? Hide?
What these two idiots do is walk over to it and try to have a chat. I have seen a lot of dumb things in my day. This takes the cake.
They look so horrifying...a shame gr won't allow me to share links, think Gorillas but standing upright like people, larger, muscles all over, and antenna because they are roaches.
Guess what happens to the girl...
