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.

a masterpiece with such realistic ways of showing how difficult life can be aka finding your way in world and the constant struggle of the "everyday" and the perfect way to slap you with the fragility of life. Plus if you are a dreadful fan for romance is a good to go: life circunstances and personal matters aligned to fck you up hard throught the characters and regret reading by times but also well thought eps where you get amazed how life can have such beautiful parts and wish u were loved like ---- does in the manga. IDK its really ...

it was decent, heavily overrated in how good it is and how depressing it is, it is most definitely depressing at parts but not as much as people say it is. Just punpun being insane and/or over exaggerating his problems.

Very dark and physiological manga but not the worst stuff ive seen just mostly just sexual assualt, rape, depression and emotional abuse

Great art, well written but awful characters as almost everyone of them is a piece of shit or insane.

I liked the ending alot.

I think it was good but no where near as good as people say it is or the MAL rating.

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 ...
