Dead Dead Demon Focuses On the "Normal" In Abnormality

Inio Asano's Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction follows the teenage lives of Koyama Kadode and Nakagawa Ouran, who are best friends in their third year of high school. Despite their ordinary lives, the world they inhabit is anything but. Two years ago, a gigantic alien mothership appeared above Tokyo, causing panic among the population. In response, the government launched an attack in an attempt to protect Earth.

Although the attack failed to destroy the mothership, it did manage to temporarily subdue any alien activity. However, the mothership continues to loom over Tokyo, serving as a constant reminder that humans are not alone, and unpredictable events could occur at any time. While many individuals are anxious about the uncertain circumstances, Kadode and Ouran perceive it as just another obstacle in a world already plagued by more alarming problems than extraterrestrial beings.

Asano's work, Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction, is a renowned classic. Inio Asano, known as the "voice" of his generation, skillfully portrays the eccentricities of individuals facing abnormal or dysfunctional situations. The story delves into the perspectives of Kadode and Ouran as they confront an issue and navigate through the harsh realities. The underlying notion is that for younger generations, the world was already daunting even before the arrival of aliens.

These include the Excellence Award at the 2022 Japan Media Arts Festival, the Best Manga Award at the 2021 Shogakukan Manga Award Ceremony, and the Best Manga at the 2018 Comic Con International Festival.
