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. I think this story had a cool promise, the alien understanding human culture, the wild effects the alien forced people to be honest with themselves to a caricature extreme, the possible team up with a meh standard shonen woe-is-me protagonist who seems to get more resolve towards the end of this short story. The gory and surprising bits of this are the main marketing for people, and they are effective, but towards the end, that post chapter 20 period, the story suffers from a need to wrap things up. It is rushed, it lacks any type of development, it's an epilogue tacked on to a preface and a couple pages-length book. I wanted more than the finished product and with 20 chapters, the story doesn't grow enough to leave a lasting impact beyond the blood and bits within. I enjoyed the scribbly and wild art, but it is just a big meh-fest. Glad I read it though as I think the artist has great potential.
