Oh, welcome to my profile. I guess..
Maybe a few things to note about me:
* well.. firstly I'm really not much of a conversation starter, tho. i sometimes do take interest in people.
* I'm rather open minded, but still have my own opinion.
so.. If you want to talk/discuss about something feel free to do so.
Hobbies include:
a) Drawing: in surreal style. (Still suck at it tho)
b) Listening to music: Classical-Walts, Artcore/electronica.
~Ps: If you have any suggestion of an artist from any of those genres, please let me know.
Favorite Anime/Manga genre : Avant Garde and Psychological, though I do love some surreal comedy like Nichijou sometimes.

I didn't use to feel like that but lately I have been in the same position as you. I'm trying to get back into reading though because it is generally a very refreshing hobby. I'm in my home village rn and I don't have wifi there so I'm trying to limit my data usage as much as I can. I will start reading light novels for that reasons, and then might start reading actual novels.
Yeah, I can totally understand you. Punpun is definitely one of those works that you need a certain mood to watch/read them in. I feel like this is the same with Violet Evergarden, Mushishi, Monster, and stuff similar to that. So yeah, take as much as time as you want with Oyasumi Punpun.
Seeing that you like drawing in surreal style, maybe you would enjoy Sayman Dowman's works? They have a very surreal artstyle for sure, but their writing is even more surreal. What I find the most interesting about their manga is that most of them are distinctly different and revolve around really peculiar concepts that seem completely pointless; yet, I coudn't help but get more engrossed as I read more of them. These works have a certain, strange charm to them that's really hard to describe in words. I also don't think they are like Oyasumi Punpun which you need a specific mood to read in.
I will certainly read their works in the near future. I actually really like that kind of juxtaposition in storytelling. Instead of being off-putting, I think it makes a manga more compelling to read if executed properly.
You should read Inio Asano's works if you don't mind depressing stuff. Most of them are bizarre to say the least, but they have spectacular writing with really unique and realistic themes. How Inio tackles the themes is also extremely distinct. Particularly Oyasumi Punpun is a simultaneously a harrowing and amazing experience.
I'll check it out when I have the time, thanks lol.
