This manga consistency falls between the lines of painfully sad melodrama and light-hearted slice of life. Not many manga do that do well.

I never really cry that much anymore, but this chapter actually got me close to shedding tears. It's poetic melancholy.

Jesus, Punpun's face on page 22 is fucking terrifying.

Such a painfully sad chapter. It's probably one of the most relatable moments of the whole manga; the feeling that society has left you behind in every aspect of your life.

My favorite romance manga of the whole decade (2010s). Manga usually never touches as seriously and explicitly on mental illness quite like this one, especially concerning autism and other related neuropsychiatric disorders. It's an unusually nuanced, sensitive and sometimes devastating read...

@Killjoynik That's... exactly what I've been trying to say. I guess the words didn't register right or something as a result of being in a state of temporary shock over the scene. Really nuanced intake on the matter, thank you.

I love how this manga has a subtly humorous side to every situation Punpun finds himself in, from his inner soliloquies with other women to appearing awkwardly out of place behavior-wise. It's sick, but still really darkly hilarious at times, so the manga doesn't get completely nihilistic and...

The imagery in this chapter itself could lend the whole manga a horror tag. Mother of Jesus.

It's a hentai by Suishin Tenra. You can search it up on nh, if that's what you're looking for.

This might be the most disturbing chapter in all of manga. It's just so... fucked beyond human comprehension, the way he initially treats Aiko's suicide as if it never happened for the first few hours or so. It seems trivial to him... It sickens me how far gone Punpun and Aiko's lives had gone...

Jeez, that lady seemed to be one of the few good-natured, non-corrupt characters in the whole manga, and Punpun's pitiful state of mind undermines her empathic intentions into just a meaningless pawn of sexual comfort and nothing more. Something also tells me that he's also developed borderline...

Asano is legit a sadist at this point if he always puts Punpun in disadvantaged positions. No wonder he acts the way he does

Whoa, that new volume cover, though. I feel like this manga is going to quickly turn darker in tone, considering this managaka's penchant for somber, bittersweet, tragic endings and such.

Mod Note: Please use spoiler tags when talking about chapter-specific or future events.

This manga is genuinely high art in a sea of mediocre romance manga. Motoi Yoshida is a god-level managaka when it comes to emotional investment in the characters.

I love how anarchic this story is. It just does whatever the fuck it wants, without any precautions or foreshadowing. This is sort of like if Pop Team Epic and KissxSis has a love child.

This went from a seemingly trashy lolicon ecchi into a certified widget series. I love it when manga does this.

I'm definitely smelling a Punpun-esque tone shift in the future for this manga.

You can always count on Inio Asano for some disturbing, harsh qualms on modern Japanese reality. It's an increasingly sick society.

The most bitter ending I've ever seen for a main character, ever. Punpun is far gone at this point. It's utterly crushing. If only Asano-san hadn't fully revealed his true outcome at the end of the manga...
