This is probably one of the strangest manga's I've read in the while, if not the strangest.

With only there being 2 chapters out right now, Drama Queen is (currently) unratable for me, because of the extreme racial implications. It just seems like a dog whistle for hating foreigners. The premise is simple, but also complex. It's basically about Aliens that saved earth from a planet ending meteor, and they have integrated themselves into society, and the main character hates them. She works at a lousy job that is run by an alien, and they always hit her without them knowing (or apologizing) The boss hits ... our other main character, but he actually stands up to him and complains about the terrible work environment. The main character gets fired after unintentionally killing her boss (I believe). She is later sulking in bed about getting fired, when she gets a call from the male main character asking her to let him in. When she opens the door she sees him holding a dead alien over his shoulder. They don't know what to do with the body, until the female main character gets an idea when her stomach growls, and then she eats the body. That is literally the first chapter of this series. Anyways, lets just get to the positives.

POSITIVES:
THE ART: The art style is genuinely insane, it looks extremely high quality and beautiful.
ITS UNIQUNESS: This is probably the most strange and unique manga of recent times, and I am actually interested in reading.

NEGATIVES:
THE PREMISE: The premise is literally about them targeting minorities and eating them. Literally.

MY THOUGHTS: I either think that this is going to be the next big thing, or fade away after its newfound popularity dies out. It's quite literally a dog whistle for hating minorities. I don't really know if I should like this for its content, or hate it for its message. I am currently ambivalent on the series right now, but maybe in a few years I'll look back to this review and say "How did I not see the greatness of this series based off the first few chapters!?!" or "How did I not see how shitty it was based off the first few chapters!?!" I don't really know how I stand with it right now, nor do I know how I will in the future, only time will tell. I said that this was currently unratable, but I have to rate it so I am currently giving it a five.
