There's a distance between Punpun and the others that words cannot seem to cross without losing the property of sound that makes them real. In terms of genres, Asano disliked the labeling of the manga as an utsumanga (depressing manga) or surreal, which he felt pigeonholed the manga. Como ya acostumbra, un dibujo maravilloso contando una historia de miserial moral y degradación: Punpun, un niño representado en un dibujo muy sencillo de un pato, que va a vivir con su tío, luego que su padre termine preso por golpear a su madre.

In the final chapter, Punpun's experiences are contrasted with those of his childhood friend Harumi to show Punpun from the perspective of a normal person. He continued the theme of nothing going right for Punpun by making him live and by denying Punpun solitude after Aiko's death by pairing him up with Sachi. Punpun meets Aiko, who tells him that she only wants to love someone who is completely devoted to her and can take her away. She didn't want any of her new classmates to know about her mother's cult involvement, lest they think her a freak like at her old school.No recordaba gran parte de estos primeros capítulos (y para qué negarlo, mi memoria se ha reseteado para el resto también) y me he encontrado a mí mismo riendo a carcajadas con muchas escenas. Las cotas de dureza y surrealismo humorístico se dan paso constantemente, y como lector uno nunca sabe qué pensar, qué sentimiento es el correcto ante cada escena. Sachi confides in Punpun that she used to be unconfident like him too, getting cosmetic surgery, so she has to keep pressuring him to try. The first half was supposed to be a romance, and the second half when Punpun and Aiko go on the run similar to a road movie.

I'd say it's better than Solanin and Nijigahara, which is weird to say considering this features a nondescript looking stick figure bird as the protagonist. That isn't even the first time he's fallen in love so fast, a girl told him not to snitch on her for bullying someone, and this kid somehow found that attractive. The difficult part of this book is pondering whether or not you feel bad for him, thus forcing you to think about the choices you've made in your own life, the people you surround yourself with. Secondly, all of Punpun's relatives (his father, mother, and uncle on his mother's side) are also depicted as stick figure birds. Desde el filtro subjetivo de un niño soñador que no sabe qué pinta en la vida ni qué puede hacer con ella, Asano se puede permitir insertar una gran dosis de humor que contrastará maravillosamente con la gravedad de las situaciones a medida que avance la trama.

I was a fan of Inio Asano's Solanin, a story about twenty-somethings looking for identity, but did not like Nijigahara Holograph, a work of surreal psychological horror that I never connected to. As they leave, Seki complains about Shimizu's chronic lying and says they should stop hanging out with him. Kraj uopšte i nije ništa drugo do nagoveštaj sledećeg dela i mislim da ćemo tek na kraju dobiti celokupnu sliku onoga što Inio želi da poruči svetu svojom pričom. Dear God, dear God, tinkle-tinkle hoy" was a special spell that Uncle Yuuichi taught Punpun three years ago.

Goodnight Punpun mixes themes of romance and slice-of-life into a boy's life, managing to feel entertaining without relenting on the overall sadness setting in. Không biết vì sao, hình ảnh những người đàn ông như: cha của Punpun, người chú Yuichi, hay cả nhóm bạn của Punpun và cậu bé; mang cho mình những hình ảnh đặc biệt. I prefer it when the story is easy to follow but some stories are worth the effort put in to understand and Goodnight Pun Pun is 100% worth that effort in my opinion.Punpun and his friends watch a porn cassette and stumble upon a taped-over confession from a man who has murdered his family, requesting that they locate the bodies and an award. Two years later in middle school, Aiko is dating Yaguchi, the badminton club captain, and Punpun still has feelings for her. it truly is a great series however people don’t warn others enough about the amount disturbing topics in it - as if everyone’s supposed to know. It's not said if everyone else sees Punpun and his family different but I doubt it since they all act normal around them.
