Nah, it happened pretty close to the end. We’re meant to think he’s an alien for like 80% of the story.

You’re right, but that isn’t revealed until about 3/4 of the way through the manga and anime, so you’ve kinda spoiled a major plot point of the story.

Boy, I love to Defend Freedom by *checks notes* censoring the content of school libraries!

Thank god we’ve finally found the answer for school shootings in America.

Citizens Defending Freedom...by using the government to remove speech they don’t like from schools.

Just imagine the reaction if a drag queen had read the manga to kids...

You know what they say:

A lot of people (including the band) like to shit all over this song. I think it’s a great tune and in their top 40, even if isn’t “mystical” or “deep” or whatever else folks associate with R.E.M.
