I wanted [to] take the readers coming to the book because they thought Punpun was cute, and upset them. (Laugh) I wanted to say to the reader, "Here's a different kind of manga. Look at what kind of depths of reality manga can plumb." 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. Oyasumi Pun Pun | Jury Selections | Manga Division | 2009 [13th] Japan Media Arts Festival Archive".

During these last few volumes the author abandoned his initial artistic decision of depicting the adults as complete lunatics; if you read the first volume after reaching this far, the gap should feel pretty wide. However, it doesn't feel so much a transition as a "that was a horrible idea, let's ditch it". I'm on board with it, of course, but I wonder how many people read the first few chapters and like I did some time ago said, "yeah, this isn't for me". Too bad, because it's a really great series.Shogakukan (in Japanese). June 30, 2009. Archived from the original on February 21, 2013 . Retrieved July 25, 2015.

I think this manga touches some heavy questions that can be talked about ad nauseam, but there's no real answers. It's all about the perplexity of the human mind, thoughts, feelings, circumstances and the little details that make it all same or different from all other stories of all other people. Aiko 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 depiction as a faceless caricature was meant to help readers identify with Punpun and encourage them to keep reading, both when he was depicted as a bird, and in his later forms. [4] Asano also utilized Punpun's simple look for symbolism, [5] like giving him bull horns to represent Altair, the cowherd star, to symbolize his love triangle as the Summer Triangle with Aiko as Vega and Sachi as Deneb.

Como ya venía diciendo en el tomo anterior, poco debía tardar el autor en introducirse en la psique de la madre para hacerla un personaje real. Casi dedica la totalidad del volumen a sus dilemas internos, creando paralelismos con Punpun y choques entre sus formas de experimentar el mundo, en especial la parte romántica. Al cambio, la madre deja a un lado el esencialismo (como figura abusiva) y de nos muestran todas sus aristas. Como siempre en la familia Onodera, esta también lidia con la depresión y la consecuente sensación de no encajar en la sociedad moderna. Buonanotte Punpun 1". Panini Comics (in Italian).

A coming-of-age drama story, it follows the life of a child named Onodera Punpun, from his elementary school years to his early 20s, as he copes with his dysfunctional family, love life, friends, life goals and hyperactive mind, while occasionally focusing on the lives and struggles of his schoolmates and family. Punpun and the members of his family are normal humans, but are depicted to the reader in the form of crudely drawn birds. The manga explores themes such as depression, love, social isolation, sex, death, and family. Shogakukan (in Japanese). April 27, 2012. Archived from the original on October 11, 2012 .

There's more Pegasus Collective that I now usually brush over as they just repeat the same inane philosophy. I'm not sure if these segments are really meant to be serious, or some comedic relief, or what. They just seem scatterbrained, uninteresting, and fairly generic hippie nonsense.
