In the description of Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction we can read:

When you look at the sky, what do you see? A blue sky? The Liberty? A hopeful future? Tokyoites see none of this. Instead, a sinister alien mothership hovers above them, swallowing up the cityscape. Three years ago, they arrived. The arrival of the “invaders” triggered the greatest war humanity has ever faced, one that threatened to end the world. The Japanese government rushed to fight the invaders. The weapons were mass-produced, sparking controversy and peace movements.

That day, everything changed. And yet nothing has changed. Koyama Kadode and Nakagawa Ouran spend their last days as they always have: going to school, playing with their friends and doing what any carefree student would do. As they grow up, they learn what it really means to be an adult, in a world where adults seem to be demons who only deceive and destroy. They discover that the real threat to humanity is not the invaders, but humanity itself.
