Goodnight Punpun Volume 1

Product Information

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." The publisher is unconvinced by Sachi and Punpun's manga, disliking the main character's "needless" depression. While Shishido gets badly injured after being mistaken for a shoplifter, and ends up paralyzed for life, Punpun's childhood friends Seki and Shimizu, who stayed very close, drift apart as Shimizu joins a cult led by the mysterious and exuberant Pegasus. Punpun, having distanced himself from Sachi who is now continuing the manga on her own, starts using a fake name and acting like a completely different person to shield himself from his depression, but ends up running into Aiko by chance. If you like each other, you go out." To Punpun's ears, this was such a radical, fresh, modern concept. a b おやすみプンプン / １３. Shogakukan (in Japanese). December 27, 2013.

Punpun Punyama is a normal elementary school kid. He has a group of friends he hangs out with, has some big dreams, is getting more curious about the world (wants to find some porn as well), and there’s a girl he’s crushing on. This is his weird, surreal, melancholy story… of the time he was in elementary school. The Initial Impression

Retrieved October 14, 2016.Goodnight Punpun (Japanese: おやすみプンプン, Hepburn: Oyasumi Punpun) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Inio Asano. The moments in Punpun’s life (a fair mix of awkward and humorous experiences) are heightened by Asano’s illustrations. His style shows such attention to detail that the final result is simply breathtaking. I adore the way he imbeds the surreal, birdlike personifications of Punpun and his family within a world that is much more true to life. The effect goes a long way towards supporting his feelings of being both and outsider and a dreamer. Overall, “Goodnight Punpun” is a game changer. I have the utmost respect for Asano as a mangaka after reading this, because it couldn’t have been easy to create. It takes a certain amount of openness and confidence in yourself to even consider breaking away from industry standards in general. To boldly lay out all those tender and perplexing things that we often goes through as we age brings that challenge to a whole new level of bravery. Inio Asano is pushing the boundaries of what manga can and should be, and for that, I salute him. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I snagged an ARC of “Goodnight Punpun”. I mean, the publisher describes him as a kid whose life goals include wining the Nobel Prize, running away in the name of love, and finding porn. I knew it would either be the best thing ever, or the worst. It’s the best thing ever. I find it hard to explain exactly why I loved this so much. Nothing exceptional happens. It is a story about a regular boy, in a regular town, doing regular things. It should be boring, but it’s… magical. Inio Asano has managed to take the ordinary and transform it into one of the most honest and true depictions of adolescence that I have ever seen in a manga. All those awkward moments and learning curves that most shy away from are all there. It feels as if Asano has lain all of our childhood experiences before us. Good, bad, and ugly, everyone has been through a lot of what Punpun has, and that makes him more than just a character. He is personable and real. Punpun doesn’t read like fiction, he reads like a friend you grew up with. You will root for him. You will want this kid to make it. Shogakukan (in Japanese). February 26, 2011.

I will keep reading it to see if it gets better, but so far I'm not a huge fan.
