| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- I just got randomly linked to one of the pages of this and found Punpun's design to be kind of ridiculous and wanted to know just what is this manga about, so I read the first chapter... I'm not really sure what to think, this manga is either brilliant or totally stupid. |
| Just started reading it..that ending..thats some pretty messed up stuff. |
| Well, that sure was... interesting. Very unique, I can't tell if I'm going to really enjoy it or not. |
| lolz. What the fuck is this? |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| This was actually pretty depressing. While Punpun's character design looks rather comical, the lack of detail prevents any form of emotional expression on his side, setting him apart from everyone else (even his parents who are drawn the same way are more expressive). He seems lost and detached from his environment. |
 |
| This is some really depressing shit I tell you what... :c I like how simple Punpuns design is thought, he really is a broken kid from a broken home, too young to understand or express himself accurately in the world around him. Ugh, I can kinda relate, having had a shitty childhood... |

He seems lost and detached from his environment. When I started reading Punpun, I never expected the story to be that dark and gloomy. I mean the character design really is ridiculous... I can't really decide if I like Punpun or not, but I can't stop reading... |
| Wow. What a powerful chapter. |
 |
| Love at first sight huh? Interesting... Well, the series does remind me a little of Aku no Hana which I'm not surprised at. Really strange chapter.

He seems lost and detached from his environment. Kinda my thoughts as well. While his outer appearance seems to be near comical, his lack of detail in any form of expression makes it almost like a hollow character. |

| Pretty weird. I like it. |
 |
| 1. i knew i was going to drop this manga when i saw the freaky girl with the crazy smile in the beginning of this ch. 2. punpun can't show emotions on his face & can't talk to people. i just can't buy into that. 3. i just find the story to be boring/slow paced... punpun wants to be an an astronaut to impress a girl? not my thing. 4. geez... this manga is ranked top 10 in MAL, the genres are great (drama, SoL, Psy., Seinin), and it's 147 chapters long. -------------------------------- it doesn't matter if the manga is long or short, top 10, or with great genres... if the story sucks, so does the manga. 0/10 |
| Me & punpun have the same blank expressions |

| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| That was a very interesting and unique first chapter. Wow. |

| Art is quite beautiful. This will probably make me cry. |
 |
| The characters look so scary, probably going to get nightmares now. |
| fuckin yes asano i am so keen to read the shit out of this |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| I think I'm gonna like this series. It reminds of an old cartoon I've watched in my childhood somehow |
 |
| I was expecting that character design. |

| Oh god, I already feel shivers. This was strangely intriguing. |
| Jesus, so dark |
 |
| Why is no one mentioning God tough |
 |
| I like Punpun's design lol. 4/5 |
 |
| Punpun and his family designs looks so weird, lel. |
 |
| Lmao can't stop laughing |
| Hmm... so the MC is a bird? That's weird. Also that ending is messed up. The father makes his son believing in him and made him hope of becoming astronomer to only make his son believing that someone else killed his mother. |
 |
| Those design, that ending...what in the hell am I getting myself into? |
 |
| This looks like something that will make me even more deppresed |
| I'm astonished. First off, the protagonist a a poorly drawn bird who can't speak. Second, the people who aren't birds are TERRIFYING. Third, this manga has a score of 9.07. I'm extremely curious as to what will happen next because this first chapter is simultaneously, hilarious, sad and horrifying. |
| This was... interesting... |
| Congrats to this manga for making me feeling that uneasy and depressed from only the 1st chapter |
| I'm going to have a tough time taking this seriously. Looks rather silly. |
| Punpun and his family designs are definitely Masterpiece. |
| Did the mom really die? I assumed she was knocked unconscious but i just hate assuming characters being dead. Punpun came off as rather innocent and cute. After all, how can a story about cute little penguin be as dark as its rumored? It's so ironic. And the girl in the beginning was definitely creepy 😲 I'm questioning Punpun's choice in girls lol |
| -insert wise old moosy adage- |
| I-I'm surprised as hell... not sure if in a good way or in a bad way |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Never bothered reading Aku No Hana, not sure if I'd bother reading the rest of this. Don't take that the wrong way. -whistles- |
| what the hell is this going to be lol. We got a bird family living among humans? |
| The fuck did I just read? Everyone faces are going to give me nightmares, I tell you that. |
 |
| Reading the synopsis of the manga, coming across some of its panels, and asking others; I've tried to get the gist of what Oyasumi Punpun really was about by doing those things but I couldn't put my fingers on it but now that I've started to read it for myself, I'm finally a step closer towards the answer. It wasn't the best thing to read before sleeping though because of the unnerving faces. Punpun and his family's weird bird forms and the nightmarish designs of every other human except for Aiko aside, what happened at the first chapter really was heavy for me, especially the whole family situation he had. Hell, I even tried to ask God the same question he did many times before, oof. What Punpun walked into that fateful morning was pretty much what happened at home very recently. I definitely know that feeling of not wanting to blame someone despite pretty much catching them red-handed all too well... |
 |
| oops, what Punpun is going to do now? the ending was kinda sad |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| Man this is really deep for the first chapter. Having a good story really. Sasuga rating 9 comic. |
| I decided to re-read this manga. Is that a good idea? Well... I'll found out later. And by the way, despite his messed up family condition at the end of the chapter, I feel like Punpun's mind is already messed up right from the start of this, when he saw that Miyo (girl who's moving out) bullied a classmate yet he decided to like her instead... |
