Some people like reading about endless suffering, I am not one of those people.

It's ok

I liked it

fucking master piece, and the only shit worth reading from that faggot

It looked dumb so I never bothered with it.

It's good, but that ending was unexpectedly depressing.

It got real boring real fast

Only manga I went out of my way to buy physical copies of, love it.

It's one of my favourite manga. I've re-read it once a year since it finished being TLed and I understand and feel different things about it every time. It's certainly not perfect, and often overly pretentious, but it's the kind of series that ironically makes me want to keep living.

I think people overplay the suffering aspect, but I also can't blame them for getting exhausted by it in the later volumes.

Solanin, Reiraku and A Girl on the Shore are all great, and I liked Nijigahara Holograph. I'll agree that DDDDDDDD is a bit of a let-down but it still has its moments.

yuck

The ending monologue made me upset.

Not even 1/10th as depressing as I wanted, especially compared to books I like.

What books do you like that makes not depressed when reading this manga? I'm curious because it seems you have a good taste in literature.

It's pretty well written and the "portray punpun as a small bird thingie" thing is fucking genius. I don't see the point of it though. The whole thing is "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DEATH SUFFERING LIFE IS SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and I don't really like it as a story, nor as a message. I don't see the point of watching a damaged individual screw up his own life in increasingly stupid ways. What am I supposed to take away from it? Cause when I read it years ago the only thing that stuck with me was honestly sadness that had no reason to exist. Frankly I think it's a story that's mostly detrimental to those who read it.

i think a lot of people including myself got a lot of happiness out of it. i think its partly because if you are a successful, social, and loved person presumably like that character in the book who showed up later on just to say "i did everything right and im winning at life now," then the mood of the story might be lost on you, along with the impact and catharsis of the ending. whereas people who lived more painful/ awkward/ unfortunate lives can relate and draw some hope from the end.

I rike it
i feel like the middle portion was pretty boring all things considered but the beginning and end of the manga were really good

It's so tragic it's hilarious, couldn't stop laughing

Lamer

It's pretty good but it's not the masterpiece everyone claims it is it's just that the beginning and ending are really good so it colours peoples memory of it cause the middle is very mediocre and has some downright horrible lows especially with that stupid cult.

It's good, especially the first half. But I can't imagine trying to read that shit as it came out. "Another PunPun is self sabotaging chapter. Again"

Not that user but I've got to know how in the fuck does the ending give you hope? it seemed pretty hopeless and dejected to me

It's really good. Some of the later parts suffer from poor structure, resulting in three unrelated stories running in parallel (punpun, cult, seki-shimizu) and each concludes almost with no relation to the others. An editor could have done a lot of work, with characters shitting paragraphs of puddle deep philosophy. The entire cult section is general could be cut in 1/3 and no one would notice. There's entire pages of Pegasus rambling that add absolutely nothing.
The humor is great and adds a lot, especially when it slowly dissipates.
I would say it's a 7/10. It loses a lot from poor structure and uneven writing, but it's still better than 99% of manga.

A person like punpun ends up with a bunch of friends, and girlfriend who deeply cares for him, a girl who looks up to him as her parent, a job and a potential career.
In real life he would have been in jail, in the streets, or hospitilzed. No one would care for him.
The ending is cheerful, almost to a fault.

If I ever reread, I'm skipping the cult. What a shitty idea.

initially thought this was dog shit

but no im wrong it's good, It's deff edgy at times and could have gone without the gay cult stuff (Other than Shizumi's part of their story with the fire).

There really isn't a lot of anime/manga that shows how visceral and fucked human beings can be.

If you can tolerate the hard-to-face subject matter at times, it really is a good read.

I saw the ending completely differently that it looked that good from the outside from a old friend who doesn't know anything about punpun implying that in reality that smile is as fake as it has always been and that nothing on the inside has changed.

>and girlfriend

Bit of a stretch to call Saichi his GF.

Ruined my Christmas
I will forever be mad

It would be a 9/10 if it wasn't for the retarded cult side-plot that added nothing to Punpun's story.

Well, yes, internally he's still a fucked up individual, but he found a support network that cares for him. I guess it's a matter of perspective.

All those talks of Saichi needing to be honest about her feelings sort of implied romantic feelings. The final chapter is vague on that point.

Babby's first edgy depression story
DeDeDe is better

Best coming of age story in all of manga

Worst part is that Inio Asano claimed that his intention was that the cult actually did save the world and weren't just crazy idiots, even though that's not what any normal reader would interpret from reading the Manga.

I was on board for a while, but eventually I hit a point where I checked out after punpun fucked up for the 40th time

I can't remember what happens after he moved to the shitty apartment.

Watamote seems like normie propaganda desu
