Both mangas deal with growing up in dysfunctional families and they share alot of thematic similarities. Arigatou is cruder and a bit nasty, but dont let it scare you, it's a really good read. I get the feeling that Arigatou was an inspiration for Asano Inio when creating Punpun.
If you ever read Oyasumi Punpun you can see a clear difference between both of the fathers from that manga and this manga.
Both of the manga is a story about family separating but in Arigatou the father takes an active role in the story, very active, to the point that it's annoying in fact. However, it is more progressive than punpun because of the same reason. In punpun, the father is rather passive and doesn't have much to contribute to the story.
However the similiarity of the two is how both of them were powerless and unable to change their family.
It's quite tragic
