Drama Queen, written and illustrated by Ichikawa Kuraku, explores a provocative sci‑fi thriller premise: aliens who saved Earth from a meteor have integrated into Japanese society and come to enjoy social privileges, prompting deep resentment among humans. The narrative centers on Nomamoto, a struggling factory worker oppressed by her alien boss, and Kitami, a teenager traumatized by the loss of his family to an alien-caused accident. Their shared anger and sense of injustice spark an alliance that escalates from rebellion to extreme acts—murder, corpse disposal, and even cannibalism—blurring the line between justified resistance and xenophobic violence.
