so who was this "punpun" person?
Punpun
Onodera Punpun
In volume 7,
I don't know why I keep reading it. I just hope something good will finally happen to punpun. The only good thing so far is that his aunt fucked him.
If there's only desperation in the end, I probably will try to use a knife to cut myself a bit. Watching blood coming out from my body always comfort me for a while.
>>121483049
That wasn't a good thing anon, that represented the moment punpun lost his innocence
and he was raped
he even cries and laments after
>>121483049
Don't worry anon!the desperation has only just begun!
>>121483049
Eh... Just drop it, anon. For your health.
>>121483049
>>121482473It's you.
Euphemism for penis.
>>121482473
the good vibrations guy
A real human bean.
>>121482473
A karma Houdini who makes off with the author avatar after fucking and murdering his childhood friend.
>>121482940
Punyama Punpun was classier
>>121483049
It doesn't get better.
It gets much, much worse.
>>121483049
>The only good thing so far is that his aunt fucked him.
He was fucking raped
hey have you guys read Asano's new work Dead Dead Demon's Destruction?
It's about cute girls :33
>>121483074
>>121488750
After thinking it clearly, what I actually want to say is that is the only good thing for me as a reader.
Incest fetish is a thing I guess.
>>121489115
It's not even incest, it was his uncles gf
Nanjou Sachi is best girl.
PunPun doesn't deserve her.
>>121492186
>Exploits Punpun's lifestory for personal monetary gain
>Forces Punpun to raise another mans child
Could you be any more wrong
I hate that manga I have no idea why its so highly rated or why weeaboos seem to think grimdark = more realistic.
Azusa rippoft was the best grill.
PuhnPuhn or PoonPoon?
>>121492374
PuhnPuhn of course.
>>121492374
Nice pun punpun.
>implying women can rape men
>>121482473
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Pun-Pun_%283.5e_Optimized_Character_Build%29
This guy?
>>121492374
Punpun is read as PoonPoon, Puhn is not a sound in japanese.
You englishfags are really backwards.
>>121492186
No way dude.
>>121483049
but he was raped that part was even taken out of kiddie mangoo websites it took me three websites to finally find it and it was awful
>>121492186
>why he only got one night in
>why he got straight up rejected when he said he loved later that afternoon
>>121492288
>but punpun says how he doesnt even consider the kid his to the one glasses nigga
>>121494649
Poonpoon.... you serious, man? Everyone I know and their cat pronounces it as puhn puhn.
>>121495704
And how do they pronounce プンプン?
'Cause there's literally one way to properly pronounce that.
>>121482473
DUMBFUCK NUMBER 2 WHO SHOULD HAVE CALLED THE COPS INSTEAD OF ANSWERING THE DOOR
>>121495795
Ey, I wasn't arguing. Just surprised if anything. Because I don't know a lick of anything besides english and google translate says stink meaner.
Finished the manga a few weeks ago.
I enjoyed it for the most part, but it kinda got a bit too melodramatic towards the very end. I was hoping for a "tighter" story with Punpun and Aiko.
Didn't really care for the cult stuff.
>>121495885
i finished it a year or so ago, is it me or was something other than being childhood friends, taken v-card, and both being mentally ill not enough for them to stick together as long as they did
He was Edmund Dantes
And he was my father...
And my mother...
My brother.
My friend.
He was me...and you. He was all of us
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=09RxXvRXiPI#t=87
>>121495885
also i didnt even slightly get into the cult part in fact i was hoping for the faggot to die
>>121495826
They didn't care, they were both suicidal and the shock of what happened didn't help. Did the way they travelled a whole country and took a boat to a random island south of japan for no apparent reason bother you too? They didn't want to speak with anyone, they just wanted to run away from everything and go to a remote place with no one else where they'd either die together or live isolated from the world.
>>121495704
Well, they're idiots then.
>>121492343
its emotionally realistic portrait of troubled characters, if a bit (a lot) exaggerated
Just because you grew up friendless and out of touch with your feelings doesn't mean everyone did
>>121487866
>>121496346
i suppose those lapses of reality is what nailed their caskets
>>121492477
fuck you carlos.
>>121488750
He enjoys it. He gets mad when his uncle comes back and they get into a serious relationship.
>>121497837
>My face after finishing the first volume
Punpun is just fine today.
>My face after finishing the seventh volume
Punpun is just fine today.
>My face after finishing the tenth volume
Punpun is just fine today.
>My face after finishing the whole thing.
Punpun will be fine.
>>121493593
That way of thinking is sexist!
>>121493593
>>121482473
>It's been a year and a half since PunPun ended
Also, from the Wikipedia article:
>Oyasumi PunPun is a manga about Onodera PunPun, a normal child...
kek
>>121489101
No it isn't, it's aboutNEW CHAPTERS NEVER
>>121495965
They were fleeing the police, "in love," and completely fucking crazy and done with society. Also, Aiko spent her entire life being abused by her mother and has major dependency issues. I thought the weakest element of that was the hold Aiko had on PunPun during the intervening ten years, because she'd come up infrequently but get treated like she was constantly on his mind, though I do get that having him actually thinking about her constantly would have interfered with everything else.
>>121495885
The cult stuff tied things together thematically, but it really suffered from being so independent plot-wise.
>>121487866
The author avatar's also crazy and is manipulating him to fulfill her own psychological needs, though. She's still best grill.
>>121487866
>fucking
Is this an issue?
>murdering
u wot m8
Of all the issues he has, you choose "he had sex" and something he didn't do?
>>121502884
This is horrifying.
>>121492288
Whose child was it in the end ?
>>121504364
Presumably her ex-husband's, as she said.
>tfw you've gone full triangle
>>121504875
That chunk of the series was probably the most unsettling to me. He was just a triangle. Like... just how little of you must there be to just be a fucking triangle?
>>121504932
That was easily the best chunk of the manga.
>>121504875
As long as you don't progress to this thing.
>>121505818
He lived a sad life.
>>121491555
>>121491590
I am prepared to buy all of the volumes as soon as they are published in english, even if they publish all of them at the same time. When will America get punpun? WHEN?!
>>121508640
Never. Buy the Japanese volumes, read the scanlations.
>>121508640
It's weird, it seems that every publisher would publish the volumes if they could (Vertical, for one, although it wouldn't surprised me if others have tried but just haven't said so publicly) yet Viz are fucking sitting on it and aren't doing anything. I literally do not understand why they haven't licensed it, it's not a long series, it's insanely popular, and has the potential to be their biggest 'obscure' seller besides popular shounenshit. They've no connection with the fans, no ask.fm or tumblr so you can't ask them shit. Fuck Viz Media, yes I'm mad.
>>121508640
I bought the german translation, it's trash compared to the english scanlations, still wanna support the release
>>121482473
Just a guy who was represented as a bird.
Am I taking your post too literally?
I miss the dark humour of the first volumes
>>121510490
It was there even toward the end. A dildo gets delivered right after theymurder Aiko's mom,for crying out loud.
>>121511144
It was self-defence, not murder.
>>121511301
She regained consciousness after the self-defense part.
>>121511301
Aiko killed her and punpun was saved because she told him he didn't do it.
but for Aiko...the guilt...
;_:
>>121512190
I think it had more to do with the fact that she'd spent her entire life abused and depressed and buoyed by some wholly unhealthy obsession with her constructed Punpun, and now she had the real person, and she was still abused and still depressed, and she realized how badly they were fucked up.
>>121508686
>Bought the reprinted special edition volume 12 that came with the Aiko shirt
Obligatory reading after you read Punpun and discuss it for a while
https://mangabrog.wordpress.com/2014/07/06/inio-asano-interview-reality-is-tough-so-read-this-manga-about-cute-girls-and-feel-better/
Is there a more depressing manga than Punpun?
>>121483049
http://vocaroo.com/i/s07cXA69oQzG
>>121500557
There's still hope anon, volume 2 is arriving on February the 27th.
>>121508790
why do you think that every publisher wants it? source?
>>121513752
>Kitoh is writing about bikes
>Inio is writing about cute girls doing cute things
Is this real life?
>>121513462
> The world isn’t going to end soon; it’s already starting to end now. The question is how to live in an age where the whole world is spiraling down, down, down.

IT ALL RETURNS TO NOTHING
>>121514101
I'm just waiting for the series to eventually take an M. Night Shyamalan level twist
>>121514539
Noririn's been running for five years without bikes causing the apocalypse, so I'm inclined to believe these cynical mangaka types when they say they're trying some more lighthearted fare.
>>121515049
I don't trust Asano though, he has a tendency for these kind of things.
Only time will tell...
>>121515049
Seo has Princess Lucia and he hasn't gone full truck on ityet.
>>121515049
>Noririn's been running for five years without bikes causing the apocalypse
And I still don't trust it. Everyone is going to die somehow.
>>121514101
Kitoh also has one going about murdering people who text and drive, though, so I think he's using that as an outlet.
It all felt too real.
>>121517963
>a joke side character saves the world via Jonestown
What the actual fuck is wrong with Asano?
>>121498652
In one of the author interviews he mentioned that the point of the ending is that Pun's lost all free will. He isn't even able to properly mourning the loss of his loved one and is forced to continue living life. I feel like it's less a case of him being fine, more a case of him becoming fundamentally broken as a character.
>>121518167
And we get none of that depicted. God damn it, why was the last section so off the rails?
>>121518057
>Asano said in the interview that they legitimately did save the world
>>121482473
Can we stop talking about this manga so much before the fucking normies get their wet fingers all over it
>>121519260
>I must fit in
>>121482473
Some /a/sshole recommended this manga for me to read last year.
If I ever see him in front of me, I would beat the shit out of him with my fleshlight
