It isn't author's fault. Well accepted rumor is that the publisher pressured author to make the novel more 'moe' in order to boost sales. That is why Maekawa's personality totally changed between chapter 3~4

I still blow a load to this doujin if I am feeling that everything else is just not doing it for me, that part where Touwa starts punishing her with his dick for revealing a nipple never fails to make me cum.

The moe stuff wasn't even necessarily the problem. The nugget of gold in the series is the setup with Makoto moving to the city only to find himself involved with a shut-in cousin who may or may not have been abducted by aliens (but who definitively was missing and reappeared under mysterious circumstances) and whose social life was essentially ruined by her inability to reconcile her experience with the expectations of society. Ryuuko and Maekawa played into that dynamic well enough because the former represented normalcy to which Makoto could turn and even be tempted to abandon Erio in order to fit in, while Maekawa presented the case of a person who is just a fucking weirdo without having had contact with an anomalous situation. "Fixing" Erio so quickly is where things started to go wrong and then everything about Yashiro finished the job.

IT WAS SO BAD
SHE BOUGHT A DOG

I respect your insights but I do not agree that Erio was fixed 'so quickly'.
She already wanted to fix herself, she was just afraid. New family moved in (Makoto) who seemed normal and enjoying school life and fresh friendships. Erio, being the brat she is, wanted to mimic that.
Her mother also didn't interfere graciously which helped Erio to stand on her own feet.
Also, Erio wasn't fixed on her own, she was also a mirror that reflected the nature of other fellows which in turn helped them fix themselves.
I don't believe there was anything fast about these dynamics

The big problem with her change is that it didn't actually address the fundamental cause of her breakdown. It would have been fine to only snap her out of the delusion about being an alien, but when that happened it also was as if the event which had caused her to latch on to that idea stopped mattering. Working toward bringing her back into society was indeed the proper direction to take her development and that aspect is paced well with her involvement with the grandma's store. However, the dispelling of that delusion also broke the tension of wondering what actually happened to her because it stopped mattering to her and Makoto. The reason she became deluded was the irreconcilable experience, but Makoto's answer is basically just telling her to get over it rather than continuing to explore the dynamic of anomalous experiences and their impact on individuals.
Granted, I am heavily biased in this regard because researching UFO-related topics are a hobby of mine so I've seen any number of accounts from contactees/abductees who have experienced the isolation and stigma resulting from anomalous encounters. So of course, other than best girl Maekawa, that aspect was what most interested me in the narrative.
However, I think keeping that tension of Makoto caught between the world of normalcy and Erio's abnormal experience while trying to support her sorting herself out would have enhanced the way that the series examines the "return of the shut-in to society" theme. The second arc still does a nice job of this with the much more mundane story of the grandma, but that is almost entirely separated from Makoto's narrative which largely breaks down into harem bullshit with only a side-helping of facing the stigma of associating with an outcast.

Lets settle this once and for all.

Well it is just as you said 'return of the shut-in to society'.
The golden attitude when you approach this type of stories, is to just consider past data such as Erio got kidnapped and etc as a material used to create certain perspective. From my standpoint, why she got fucked up in the head doesn't really matter. In real life, this could be very insignificant causes such as "I just felt like not going to school". But the hardships of those who stagnate if universal.
The fact that author didn't elaborate on what happened allude that such background information is irrelevant.
I still don't get why the alien girl with sparkling lights surrounding her exists in the first place, but as long as Erio's story line goes, mystery scifi thing has little meaning

>From my standpoint, why she got fucked up in the head doesn't really matter. In real life, this could be very insignificant causes such as "I just felt like not going to school".
It can also be the case that there are significant causes such as ordinary traumas. Erio's brush with the anomalous seems much more representative of a significant cause and thus the series could have addressed how those sorts of events don't just create a perspective and stop mattering, but continue to impact the individual and threaten to negate progress toward returning to society. Imagine that for the third arc, instead of joining in with the baseball thing, Erio regressed toward becoming more insular again. Makoto eventually discovers that now she's become obsessed with more generalized books on the paranormal because she still doesn't have an explanation for what happened to her, to the point that she's now fixated on that search for meaning rather than a simple delusion based on limited interpretation. This would present a more nuanced problem for Makoto as well, since it isn't so clear a case to tell her to get over it when she truly has experienced something for which there isn't an explanation.
If we swap Erio's backstory with a simple kidnapping case, the first arc would become something like dispelling the delusion that she's a secret princess hidden at birth, while the continuing problem would be dealing with the reality that the world is a scary place where sometimes people get kidnapped for no particular reason.

And again, I am biased toward the idea that mystery scifi should have been a focus in and of itself to specifically examine the impact of anomalous events on individuals beyond the general theme of rehabilitating the shut-in. Not in the way Yashiro took the series though; direct confirmation of extraordinary events goes too far toward dispelling the tension unless there is a radical shift in the dynamic to essentially place Makoto in Erio's shoes.

Always retard.

yeah I agree that Yashiro ruined the balance. Until Yashiro, background information was not truly relevant to my sensibility, but Yashiro keep bragging about being a spaceperson and the camera angle making it seem like she actually can wield magic was really off-putting. Also, in the final anime episode, Erio's father quite literally magically showed up making audience keep thinking maybe there is uchuu-jin.
But then, it is a common Hollywood gimmick. The story was good enough to suffice my needs even if it has ambiguities.
I'm just personally more offended by Maekawa's change in personality because I liked her former attitude

How did that ending go?

I think that gif is shopped, it doesn't look right.

just two short stories.

One where MC and Erio go to someone's wedding and MC finds the bride who is nervous about getting married and helps her get over it. The surprise at the end is that Erio asks MC if they are going to get married too and he says yes revealing they're a couple.

The other short story is a timeskip where they're married and have a young daughter. MC became an inventor/astronomist I think and he shows his daughter a constellation light display he made

He invented a device that emits sparkles and wants to popularize it as a home decoration so that Erio and his daughter's sparkling hair won't stand out that much. Also Erio had to hide her hair with a big hat when they attended the wedding.

LN introduces several other people that claim to be aliens besides Yashiro and Erio with their own gimmicks. They all have sparkling hair. Eliot has too though it seems he's an earthling. So alien genes probably.

I still beat my dick bloody to the idea of her getting abducted by sailors and used mike a sextoy before returning home. She probably can take 4 dicks at once now.
