OK. If I remember correctly from the beginning of the one-shot, there were 5 things that lead to a culling of human population from at least 7.4 billion (if the first of those events is a few decades into the future, probably more) to 2: the bright comet hitting Earth; the virus on that comet causing a zombie apocalypse; the human defensive system using nukes to end the zombies; aliens coming to raid, loot, and pillage; a cataclysmic natural catastrophe occuring. All of these culled some part of the human population, and I'm certain that, after the first 3 events (comet, zombies, nukes) a large, I'd even dare say overwhelming majority of the human population already dissappeared. The later landscape of Earth resembles your stereotypical post-apocalypse setting: life exists, but pretty much reduced, a shell of its former self, and there is also a lot of radiation due to fallout.
This period could've also seen massive population movements, most likely as a result of people trying to find new lands to settle in where there was less or no radiation (kinda reminds me of Silesia in season 2 of Algerian Mapper's Alternate Future of Europe, wherein their population doesn't even know where they came from, but they know it was far to the east or northeast, from where they migrated to avoid the radiation, came to Silesia and took the local identity, name and symbols). This may be how Nika's family (almost certainly before she was born) came East (I suspect somewhere in Primorye or Sakhalin or Kamchatka).
Then, the aliens arrived. However, given what was told at the beginning of the one-shot, I'd say they didn't come to Earth as invaders or conquerors, but rather as the spacefareing equivalent to piratical sea kings or nomadic horse raiders. I imagine that, as technologically superior as they were, and as much as humanity might've been culled at that point, these alien raiders were probably still heavily outnumbered by the remaining human population. I'm willing to assume these aliens just went around Earth, raiding, looting, pillaging and sacking along the way, on occasion fighting human armies, and, more often than not, winning.
Yet, the radiation and fallout were an ever-present threat to both sides. The aliens, technologically advanced as the are, could've had a large amount of radiation absolvent materials in case of finding an irrediated world. They could've used those materials to clean the Earth from fallout in order to make raids on Earth less risky. If this is what happened, it would also have a beneficial effect on humanity, as less radiation and fallout meant less cancer, meaning more healthy humans, meaning a bigger growth in human population, meaning more humans, meaning a larger labour pool, meaning larger production output by humans, meaning more things for the aliens to loot.
In this confusing period, nations may have made some kind of treaties of common defense against alien raids, which may explain both why Nika was consripted into the Russian Armed Forcey, and how did she end up in Japan. It was probably during one of those alien raids in Japan that Sayu and Nika first met. Little did they know that, as fate would have it, they'd become the only humans to survive the culling.
Which leads us to the last of the events in the culling: the cataclysmic natural disaster. Honestly, it remains unclear whether Sayu and Nika fell in love with each other before or after that cataclysm, but, in either case, the cataclysm did kill every human except the two of them, and many of the aliens died due to their spaceships getting shipwrecked as a result of the cataclysm. Whatever aliens may have survived this were probably extremely shaken by what they've just witnessed. They may or may not have tried searching for survivors or resources in the wreckage, but whether they did try that or not is irrelevant, as they just left afterwards.
This then leaves us with the events of this one-shot, importantly Sayu and Nika finding one of the shipwrecked UFOs. There they found a system which allows for same-sex reproduction. Who knows, maybe those aliens were advanced enough that this sytem included several layers, including one that negates any risk of genetic defects. If that's the case, it may be completely fine for their offspring to procreate with each other.
I could go on with how much we can predict different scenarios for what would happen with their descendants, but that would require a lot of time that I don't have now and a lot of mental gymnastics I don't feel like doing at the moment, but suffice to say that one could make several series (maybe even a mapping one!) from that.

OK. Over a year after this has been upleaded, but less than half a day since I discovered, I'm ready to take my own shot at hypothesizing about how this came about and where this could go, based on some things mentioned in this one-shot. But, before I do post that hypothesis comment, I gotta watch some history documentary with my dad, so... later.

I can’t say that there are any flaws in this chapter and Maybe my disappointment is purely my problem.

I myself would be disappointed if we never see a deeper side (and I do mean physical intimacy, in part) of their relationship going forward.

I don’t think we will ever see them do more than lightly touch lips together.

Yes I am Citrus-traumatized.

See? Even you are suffering the consequences!

The only flaw I found was the lack of Midori x Manaka

Also, I've made this same post some 5 or so minutes back, but deleted it to double check the chapter to see if I'm right.

Gee, thanks for posting that. I read it, and while I did like it, my reactions at the end of that was "Wait... what?".

If you don't indicate yourself as LGBTQ on the first page, it doesn't ask LGBTQ-specific questions and skips to the third page.

Did I even reply into this thread since the link to the raws were posted? Given that I've been diligently reading all the posts (even if I've forgotten some (read: most) of them), I think I haven't?
Whatever.
Honestly, I didn't read the raws per se, since I can't read Japanese, but I browsed through them, and, gosh, was it enjoyable. Someone earlier mentioned that Sayaka was kinda bullying Yuu, but it seems to me (I might be wrong, jumping to assumptions, due to seeing the slides, without the ability to read the lines) that Maki may have teased Yuu about her relationship with Toukp a bit? But the last few pages were simply adorable!
There, now I can be correct in saying I didn't spam with this post!

There's a translation up elsewhere--you're slightly but not entirely wrong.

Eh, let's just say that, for the translation, I'm waiting for it to be on Dynasty Reader.

Holy shit! She may lose in a fight against the guy I referenced in the comments of some previous Asuka × Tomoko image, but she'd really put up a long good fight. If the interdimensional rift opens and the purple terror himself comes, the town WataMote takes place in would be a pretty safe holdout for a long time, only because Asuka is there.

Kou-chan certainly needs to ask about it soon; whether she will get a straight answer (from anyone) remains to be seen.

There can be nothing straight about this situation.

And the ship... wasn't sunk? Yes, indeed, damaged and battered, it returned to harbour, and was given a few repairs. It's still severely damaged, but not as severely as before.

Y'know... Some of the mistakes, failings and wrongs I've done (both on this site and in real life) has caused my masochism to hit me much harder than usual (the hardest it has for the past year and a half). I have loss the very last shreds of my dignity. I well and truly am the worst, stupidest and laziest thing currently alive in this Universe. I'm irredeemable worthless garbage that deserves a far worse, far more sufferable, far more painful life than the one I have. Accordingly, I'm leaving Dynasty Reader (hopefully, for the good of y'all, forever), so I wouldn't bother y'all with my shit. Though, knowing how this masochism went all the previous times, I'm likely gonna come back in a week or two. Bummer. Well, my sincerest apologies to all of you (tho, as much as I regret doing and am sorry for doing all those mistakes, I'd rather not be forgiven). I must confess, because one of those wrongs that I did in real life earlier today, a tiny part of me is even suggesting me to jump off a bridge.
You have been waaaay toooo kind to points at himself this particular idiot.
Have all the luck and happiness there is, because (and I know this will be very hypocritical of me to say) I don't want you all to fall into that same hole as me.
I really needed to do a lot of mental self-beating to realize that everyone I have ever interacted with (in real life or online) are just victims I didn't even know I had. Once again, I'm full of regret, and I'm very sorry, but I very much DO NOT want to be forgiven.
Sorry for bothering you all this time, and sorry for bothering you with this post.
