| Oh god, I am afraid what the ending will have in store for us. PunPun has been an emotional rollercoaster from the very beginning and I just hope for an ending that is somewhat positive. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Oh, I've been meaning to read this manga for a while now. I guess it's time to catch up. |

| Now I can start reading it. |
 |
| This manga is fantastic, highly recommended to anyone ever. |
 |
| Good, I was just waiting for it to end to start reading it. |
| Everything I love is ending. This must be a sign of some sort. |
| Welp, I know what I'm going to read next now. It was either this or Solanin, I guess I'll read Punpun first then. |
| Ok™ |
| The synopsis makes it seem interesting, so I'll probably read it after it ends. |
| A true classic. I will miss it dearly. I fear the worst for poor Punpun, especially considering how soon it is ending after some of the stuff he's been through recently, but I'll hope for the best. Poor guy deserves a break. |

| Great news. Hope this doesn't get animated! |
| My Twitter My Tumblr - Anime Blogging on current airing season as I watch them. My deviantArt - Anime FanArts. Please leave replies on my profile page, as I am unlikely to see them otherwise. Thanks. |
| I suppose that's good to know, and a bit depressing at the same time. Punpun is my favorite manga so it will be missed. |
 |
| I should probably start reading this soon but wow, another manga ending this year. They're piling up :o |
 |
| Haven't heard of this manga until now. I think I'll give it a shot. |
| Another one?! R.I.P everything I was actually thinking about starting to read this today, guess i should. |
 |
| It's had a damn good run, I would rather Asano put it to rest and work on something else, I'm loving his shorter publications right now. It's nice to hear I can get some closure fairly soon, it has really been a roller-coaster. |
 |
| Winter? Gives me time to catch up. |
[center] |
| I'm reading it right now, actually. I'm still on chapter 33, need to catch up. |
 |
| So sad to see Oyasumi Punpun go. I have had a great time reading since about 5 years ago. I'm looking forward to reading more by this amazing mangaka. Oyasumi, Punpun. |
| Well, I guess I chose the right time to start reading it then, since I won't wait too long to see the conclusion. |
 |
| From where it left off that isn't a huge surprise, I hope I'm not disappointed in the ending cause this has been Asano's most ambitious work so far for sure. I saw on his twitter he had a copy of the 12th volume and it will be sold with a t-shirt, I would never be caught dead in an anime t-shirt but god damn do I want that one. I would honestly love if he worked on something besides phycological/drama/slice of life next, but I'm pretty sure it's already decided what his next work will be. No matter what I'm sure I'll enjoy it, I've read basically all his manga and loved them all. Just would be nice to see him try something different for a change. |

| I'm a few volumes behind on this. I do want to re-read the whole thing through, so I'll take this opportunity to do so. It is one of the most well written mangas I've had the pleasure of reading. Inio overwhelmingly shows that he is to be regarded not only as one of the best mangaka still working but as one of the best mangaka of all time with a nearly unmatched capacity of creating very deep pieces. Even for him Oyasumi Punpun is in a level of its own. People usually rave about Solanin and while I think it is a well written piece as well, it has nothing on this. Anyway, I am looking forward to his future works, and considering his evolution I believe he will no doubt grace us with another masterful story in a few years time. |
| I've been meaning to read this for forever now. Look's like now's a good time to start. |

From a news 2013-01-19: "Columnist Gō Yoshida published his second interview with manga creator Inio Asano in the March issue of Core Magazine's BREAK Max on Friday. The interview revealed that Asano wishes to undergo a sex change. Asano spoke of his admiration for transsexual fashion model and singer Ai Haruna (born as Kenji Ōnishi), and also that just wearing women's clothing did not suit him. "If I'm going to date anyone, it has to be someone like [Japanese actor] Ryo Kase," he said. "Asano suggested that it is possible that his next work will focus on transgender issues. He plans to collect data regarding cross-dressing men and collaborate with another manga creator, Shohei Manabe" |
 |
| I'm anxious to know how it'll end; part of me really hopes it'll be good for Punpun, the other part of me doesn't think that will be possible, considering everything that has happened so far:( |
| seizon senryaku ! |

|
| Friendly reminder that Punpun's mangaka is a woman and should therefore be addressed with the proper pronouns~ As a side note, as sad as it is that all these manga are ending it at least means my manga list has the slight chance of getting cleaned up a smidge. Manga lists are just so easy to make messy. |

Because He stated He would like to see Asano working on something else, so I thought to give him an information about the possible Asano's new work. I meant more the first quote. Not trying to just be a dick, but sorry I came off that way. It has begun to piss me off that MAL has that in the description, and that ANN reported on it. I'm like 90% convinced that was just a joke/translation mix up. I think he said those things, but was obviously joking(not about admiring Ai Haruna, but going through with a sex change and who he would date ext.).Then because he isn't all that well known no one realized the mistake, or bothered to check. I check on his twitter every now and then and he never mentions anything about it, nor does it seem like he plans to have a sex change. It has been announced that he plans on doing a manga about the topic, and I think a lot of this came about because he was basically doing research on the topic. That being said, if it is what he wants to do all the power to him. I just think it is incredibly stupid that MAL has all that stuff there, and goes as far as to refer to him as a her.... like c'mon does it look like this guy plans on having a sex change anytime soon? Honestly, until there is actually proof that he wants a sex change or goes through with it I think MAL should change the description. |

| ;_; It was done, my favorable manga to boot imo alongside with Nijigahara Holograph can't wait for the ending.. |
 |
| While I haven't gone quite far in the manga, I'm honestly afraid of how it's going to end based on what I've seen. I can only cross my fingers and hope there's a way out from this downward spiral this poor guy is in. |
| This is one of my favorite manga, it's a shame to see it end. I wish Punpun a happy ending but there is no way that's going to happen haha. It would also be awesome if this gets licenced but the chances of that are pretty low. |
 |
| Yeah, Asano actually tweeted about this a few months back. |
 |
| I won't be surprised if Punpun ends up dead by the end of all this, or rotting in some gutter. |
| Looks interesting. |
 |
| I predict a bittersweet ending (much more bitter than sweet). |
| I'll finally be able to give this a try. |

| I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully it'll be a good ending. I mean in terms of quality. Punpun isn't the type of manga to have a good ending. (laughs) |
Sadakiyo said: (laughs) "I have to go to the toilet" |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
Yandy said: Now I can start reading it. Yes. It's guaranteed that I will read this, I just want to read it without waiting for future releases if possible. Said to be Inio Asano best work yet no? |
| The only "good" ending I can think of is that they commit double suicide. |
| Been reading this series from the start, I absolutely adore Asano's work. Hopefully Punpun finally finds some piece of mind and holds on too the love he has right now, though more than likely he's going to get busted or killed. We'll see how it goes. Pegasus and his gang of loonies are always entertaining, good vibrations =P |
Nidhoeggr said: Sadakiyo said: (laughs) "I have to go to the toilet" "You took quite a bit of time in there." |

| Re-reading the first eleven volumes in preparation for volume twelve. It's actually ridiculous how consistent the quality of this manga is. |
