I'm not sure if I should use spoilers for literary books, but I see this as a Japanese take on The Time Machine with a more satirical voice on our culture.

Spoiler for The Time Machine plot:

In The Time Machine, the protagonist travels far into the future where he meets small, miniature human-like animals that have mastered their environment in the past. These creatures, the eloi, laze around all day and mainly eat/sleep/procreate (sound familiar?).

I'm not sure if making chibi humans is a common troupe for deconstructing humanity, but I thought it would be nice to share this. It seems to me that both authors had something to say about the state of humankind and that a hyperbole was the vehicle that both took.

EDIT: Oh ya, if I'm not mistaken, the protagonist isn't named in The Time Machine. Quite the coincidence huh : p
