While I can't knock it for its anti-imperialist themes, Drama Queen does come off as incredibly racist dog-whistle for contemporary immigration issues in Japan. I'm going to edit this for clarity because some people have not been able to comprehend the obvious. The actions of the protagonists are nothing but glorified; this isn't Death Note, these aren't villain protagonists.
