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.

Goodnight Punpun was a manga I’d seen a few times before, and was mainly recommended to me by my friend. Ever since my recent reading spike, I’ve been curious about seinen and have been interested in manga with dark themes in general. But wow, Punpun exceeded my expectations. And after reading it, I can say with 100% certainty that it has become one of my favourite manga as well. From art, to characters, to symbolic imagery, I heavily enjoyed all of it! Without spoilers, it’s definitely one of the best things I’ve ever read. So I, AlmightyTank, heavily recommend it as well! Tinkle hoy!

I really enjoyed the story, but I could never stick with Punpun's character. As a middle schooler and high schooler I was okay because he was young and had time to grow, but as he became an adult he never grew. There were glimpses of growth, but the most change he had was ...
