In the end, my complain is, the mangaka fails to make the reader identify with any of the characters, just because they're so vile. I'm a depressive, dark and nihilistic guy, and I'm telling you these characters are not real. You can read about a caricatured bird and feel it exists and thinks, but Punpun and the people around him read like a cheap soap opera with long boring useless pseudo-philosophy thrown everywhere. You inevitably get bored by the suicidal ranting, and I became really worried about the mangaka that managed to maintain this for 13 volumes without cutting his wrists. The way that Asano chose to depict Punpun is brilliant. Apart from the narrative benefits I already mentioned (and the ones I didn't mention to avoid spoiling too much), Punpun's constantly evolving design offers many artistic benefits. It allows Asano to constantly play with Punpun's design depending on his mood, mental health, age, and body language. His expressions are often depicted either very exaggerated or very subtle, leaving the reader to interpret how his actual human self might look like to the other characters. Sometimes Punpun will be depicted with more human features, like hands, clothes, a full body, and other details. Throughout the series, Punpun goes through several different forms, some of which are spins on the iconic bird design, some that look more human, some that look flat out bizarre, and some where his face is exchanged for grotesque aberrations. This really helps Asano show the readers the mood or state of mind that Punpun is in, since for the most part Punpun can be somewhat cryptic with his thoughts and feelings. This can also be used to great comedic effect, much like the way Asano will sometimes have his other characters act and pose in eccentric and over the top ways, which helps lighten the mood in an otherwise dark and serious story.

La única razón por la que no es un manga de 5 estrellas es porque no me gustó para nada la historia del "profeta", me pareció tedioso, hartante y una excusa para atar las historias de los personajes secundarios que quedaron en el aire.

But the characters in this manga are all suicidal pathetic losers you wouldn't wanna know in real life. Liars and cheaters, lifeless selfish people. There is no point to their pain and struggles, only to fill more chapters. In volume 5, I truly believe the mangaka ran out of ideas with that direction. En mi opinión lo más interesante del manga es su perspectiva en el amor. En un mundo donde el amor parece ser el combustible de todas las novelas modernas, en esta pareciera que es la razón por la que nos metemos en problemas, la lección por aprender en este caso es que el amor puede ser peligroso. Tal vez porque elegimos enamorarnos de la persona incorrecta, o en el momento incorrecto o de la forma incorrecta. O tal vez simplemente amamos porque pareciera que no quedara nada más que hacer. Todo esto esta desarrollado a la perfección. Ressler, Karen (May 2, 2017). "Goodnight Punpun, Orange, The Osamu Tezuka Story, Princess Jellyfish, Wandering Island Nominated for Eisner Awards".

The other important characters, Aiko and Nanjou, are both incredibly complex and unique individuals, being the shy but determined daughter of an insane cultist and struggling but determined manga artist respectively. It's easy to fall in love with both of them for different reasons. All of the other characters in this series, from Mama Punpun to Seki and Shimizu to Yuichi are similarly complex, real and honest portrayals. There is no hero, no exemplar of the authors values, in Goodnight Punpun. This is a world of reality, real pain, real love, real mess and real sex. After all, life is about reaping what you sow. We're all living on a path we've chosen. Isn't that right?" - Uncle YuuichiAiko Tanaka transfers into Punpun Punyama's elementary school class and they come to like each other. At home, Punpun walks into what looks like the aftermath of his father abusing his mother. While she stays in the hospital and his father separately, her brother Yuichi Onodera comes to live with Punpun. Punpun also learns that Aiko's mother sells miracle water and he makes a promise with Aiko to take her away to her uncle in Kagoshima. 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. Punpun and his friends, along with Aiko, visit the abandoned miso factory mentioned in the video. Punpun's form gives us a look into his psyche, clearly wearing his attitude on a sleeve. When he takes on the life of his neighbor Takashi Fujikawa and pretends to be something he's not, he becomes this nearly unrecognizable, much like his time with his alien shaped head with four eyes, or his tetrahedron phase, making this (in my opinion) the most painful part of his life. Punpun morphed into the most basic shape he could take, doing the bare minimum needed to pass as a living person. Beveridge, Chris (March 2016). "Viz Media Talks 'Goodnight Punpun' Manga Release".

I binge read this last summer during the beginning of a new era for myself, and since then I have not stopped thinking about PunPun. It really provoked me to think about how many different ways I could've ended up being like, and just how one certain person can dictate your life and your choices. PunPun is a result of his environment. 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.

Regarding good old Aiko, you obviously reread every word of hers through the lense of what she eventually decides to do. When I first read the story, I felt as intrigued by Aiko as the protagonist was, but I didn't "like" her as a romantic goal. Her explicit need for her partner to abandon everything and just focus on her is terrifying, yet I forgot that she admitted that she would do that same thing for the other person. Later on, of course, that's what she does. She abandons her family, her city, herself, for Punpun and whatever fate they might have, to the extent of barely resisting when he attempts to strangle her to death; at that point she seemed more worried about his fate than her own. Her deepest wish was to disappear in a loving relationship, which would allow her to escape from her terrible life. You poor ghost of a creature. That was terrible. It was edge 101 and don’t want any excuses of the sort “But Snob, these things are real and happen all the time.” They do not happen all the time, to such extremes, and so close to each other. Stop trying to defend this crap as anything more than overdramatic nonsense. You were saying the same crap about the mother in Erased, which was the exact same thing. This is one of those stories where it starts off a bit nonsensical; but as you continue reading, it becomes obvious there is a darkness lurking within. And hell, the darkness was really overpowering here. Shogakukan (in Japanese). December 26, 2009. Archived from the original on July 6, 2013 . Retrieved July 25, 2015.I fear reading or watching stuff translated to my language mainly for two reasons: first off, it's almost impossible for anyone to put as much care in the actual script of a story as the people who created it. I've written some stories, so I know every word that remained I made sure that it stayed because it should. However, I don't speak Japanese, and I feel too old to start learning it now. What I've found is that the translation to English made by fans was much better than the one published in Spanish. I don't know what is it with so many Spanish translators and their damned colloquialisms; they just love adding popular expressions missing in the original. It's worse yet because in this case the translator is Catalan, the most separatist region in Spain, in which Spanish isn't even the official language in most schools anymore (in many you don't get any class in Spanish), so I necessarily have to question the logic of so many publishers using Catalan translators to begin with. Many of the colloquialisms I simply don't hear nor read them where I live, and others I didn't understand. I'm very glad that I didn't read this magnificent work in Spanish first.

I loved the portrayal of God in this story, because it felt just like his presence in my life. Not stellar, not completely negative... idk. I could never tell who’s side he was on. Is God different to all of us? Does that negate his existence or make the concept of him greater? Much to think about ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

This is a manga you go into it thinking there's some hidden message there, it's 80% made of monologues, and talking to yourself (or God, same thing) unavoidably leads to philosophy, knowing one's self better and all that stuff you do when you have too much free time on your hands and your mind is too rested.

Asano did a great thing through that first romantic obstacle in the character of Yaguchi, Aiko's boyfriend when they were around 15 years old. Being a clear wall against Punpun's goals, the author could have made the guy odious, someone we'd want to see beaten. But Asano turned him into the protagonist of some sports manga: he's a nice, sensible, cool guy with good looks. Worst: Punpun himself knows that Yaguchi would make a much better boyfriend. We learn from the guy how he feels like he's walking a tight rope: if his sports "career" fails, he won't be able to go to a decent high school, because he can't study for shit. He had promised that if he won the upcoming tournament, Aiko would be his forever, so when he pushes himself beyond his limit during the final match and gets badly injured, we feel the unfairness along with Punpun. It's not only the injury: because he didn't want to push his right leg, his left one snapped, and the issue with his right leg is one of those chronic ailments that will pretty much guarantee you have no future as a sportsman. He doesn't deserve this outcome. I don't think we ever found out what happened to him past this loss, and when Aiko gets asked about it what feels like an eternity later, she seemed to have not paid attention to his existence since that day. Like others, I'm posting this review as one for the whole series because getting too deep into each individual volume of Goodnight Punpun would be quite a feat. With this in mind, I wouldn't recommend this manga to just anybody. I usually try not to let stories get to me too much, but this one ended up getting in too far. Before I started reading, I was a generally optimistic person; after reading, I couldn't help but notice the optimism I felt before had faded away. I'm not saying this manga was solely responsible for my change in perspective; there are other major reasons. However, I cannot help but feel the experience with this manga added some elements.

Sachi spots Punpun while he is out searching and he goes to her house again. There, he opens up to her about his issues and Sachi accuses him of not wanting to actually find Aiko. After she pushes him, Punpun writes her a draft manuscript which she finds unsatisfactory. 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. Punpun resolves to keep working on the story and they work towards a final draft by the end of summer. Shishido offers to give Punpun a job once he gets a real estate license. After a misunderstanding, Punpun reveals to Sachi that he loves her, the two have sex and they start growing closer. A year later Sachi finishes the manga and prepares to show it to a publisher with Punpun. Asano ρωτήθηκε γιατί επέλεξε να τον σχεδιάσει έτσι (και σε άλλες μορφές στην εξέλιξη της ιστορίας αλλά ποτέ ως άνθρωπο) η απάντηση του ήταν πως ήθελε οι αναγνώστες να ταυτοποιήσουν τον Punpun οι ίδιοι και να ενθαρρύνονται να συνεχίζουν να διαβάζουν μέσω αυτού. Η απλοϊκή μορφή του δρα ως συμβολισμός συνδεδεμένος με κάθε κατάσταση που βιώνει ενώ του δίνονται π.χ. κέρατα ταύρου ως μεταφορά για το αστέρι Altair που ονομάζεται "cowherd star". Punpun struggles with a lot of isolation and alienation throughout the books– its depressing to follow his journey go from an innocent and happy youth, to such a disturbed and sad shell of himself.
