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 naive 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.

I should be putting "mixed feelings" for reasons that will be obvious later, but I'm putting "recommend", because the good parts are too good to not.

For me this manga is divided cleanly into two halfs: before Punpun started to live by himself and after. And the first half is 12 out of 10, best manga I ever read, nothing comes even close, most important manga for me personally, and so on, and so forth. And the second half is 6 out of 10. 7 if I'm feeling generous.

Without getting into specifics, the first half is so tight. Paced extremely well. It always feels like it ...

Mixed Feelings
Oysaumi Punpun left a pit in my stomach. For many people this may not be a great story to read. It has many dark moments dealing with anxiety, depression, a ton of other mental health disorders and also had abuse and SA. It's hard to write about something I'm so unsure about. 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 ...
