Synopsis

Punpun Onodera is a normal 11-year-old boy living in Japan. Hopelessly idealistic and romantic, Punpun begins to see his life take a subtle—though nonetheless startling—turn to the adult when he meets the new girl in his class, Aiko Tanaka. It is then that the quiet boy learns just how fickle maintaining a relationship can be, and the surmounting difficulties of transitioning from a naïve boyhood to a convoluted adulthood. When his father assaults his mother one night, Punpun realizes another thing: those whom he looked up to were not as impressive as he once thought.

As his problems increase, Punpun's once shy demeanor turns into voluntary reclusiveness. Rather than curing him of his problems and conflicting emotions, this merely intensifies them, sending him down the dark path of maturity in this grim coming-of-age saga.

After the dmv volume, I just felt an overwhelming sense of dread whenever I had to read Punpun's chapters. Even characters like Seki and Shimizu had their part of their stories just become worse and worse. I've been reading this manga on and off since 8th grade and thank god I didn't finish it back then. Even now after I finish it, I feel such doom and dread over my relationships, family, friendships, and my personal life. However I snapped the fuck out of it because it is just a story, a very sad, depressing, glum, philosophical story. I enjoyed the ending, it was nice ...

Anyways here's the actual review.
Reading through this manga is a real rollercoaster of emotions, and don't be fooled by the cutesy cover, they're mostly just the distressing kind, though that doesn't mean it's constant doom and gloom, the pacing is brilliant ...

This manga initially entrances readers with its captivating art style, promising a journey into the depths of human emotion and experience. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes increasingly apparent that its visual allure is not matched by its narrative depth.

The plot meanders aimlessly, lacking a clear sense of direction or purpose. Scenes stretch on for pages without significant progression, leaving readers feeling as though they are trapped in a narrative quagmire with no end in sight. Characters are introduced and promptly forgotten, their potential for growth and impact on the story left unexplored. The protagonist, in particular, dominates the narrative to the point of ...
