 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Humanity Has Declined, known in Japanese as Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, is an eleven-volume light novel series written by Romeo Tanaka which was published from May 24, 2007 to September 16, 2016. The light novels were illustrated by Tooru Yamasaki from 2007 to 2011, but Yamasaki was later replaced by Sunaho Tobe, who took over the illustrations for the rest of the series.For years, declining birth rates have forced what’s left of the human race to cede more and more territory to other beings who have appeared to take advantage of the emptying ecological niche. Now, only a handful of humans remain among the remnants of civilization and Earth is dominated by fairies — tiny, four-inch tall child-like creatures of surprising intelligence. But humanity’s importance isn't over quite yet, as the young heroine learns as she makes the decision to return to her hometown and assume her grandfather's position as an arbitrator between the races. Unfortunately, the job isn't going to be anywhere near as simple as she expected, and it's going to take a wisdom far beyond her years to achieve her most important mission.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })An anime adaptation by studio AIC A.S.T.A. premiered in the summer of 2012 and was simulcast on Crunchyroll. It was licensed by Sentai Filmworks with a home video release in 2013. There are also three separate manga adaptations written by Romeo Tanaka himself.

 Y was also like this for somewhat different reasons. She genuinely did want friends who weren't as messed up as the Wild Rose Society and didn't want to reveal her hobby to others.

 After the End

 After the End: Humanity seems to be living in the aftermath of some previous catastrophe, with the technological level being reverted, knowledge having been lost, ruined and abandoned structures scattered all over the countryside, and very small, scattered human populations that are on the brink of extinction. While the catastrophe that caused this has been mentioned several times, it's never explicitly stated what it was. The Heroine once alludes to the fairy about how the Old Humanity (homo sapiens) were destroying themselves through war and overexploitation of resources. That said, the catastrophe could be the population collapse itself. Any given technological level has a minimum population in order to be sustainable—the declining birth rates alone would, over time, do the job all on its own.

 Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Deconstructed. The reason the protagonist was this in school is because it's a psychological defense against a toxic environment. She's deliberately being nasty as a social firewall, which others somehow interpret as charming. Y was also like this for somewhat different reasons. She genuinely did want friends who weren't as messed up as the Wild Rose Society and didn't want to reveal her hobby to others.
