I personally enjoyed this series. But I think it's because I didn't put much stock into caring about specific events within the narrative. I instead concentrated more on some of the themes it tried to convey and trying to understand them.
Secret of the Alien is kind of all over the place when it comes to what occurs in the story. At the start, you are presented with what you believe to be a high-school romcom - in the next moment, you're experiencing a thriller. The story takes some dark turns thereafter, leaving you a little confused. What is this all about? Why does the tone

The multiple love interests is also kind of annoying, I kind of came ...

I dont know the history or what happened behind the scenes, all I know is that reception and sales matter more than any series that has an interesting potential. Often creations in this windmill of story after story of the manga industry might suffer to in never letting their wings expand.

In other words, the actions of the characters are simply idiotic, considering how smart they should be/have been established as. With the plot being drawn out, the man lacks seriousness due to the rather unintentionally made humorous events. The manga doesn’t ... |
