This is quite good, it’s characterized through the view of the title character who is a small child so he doesn’t quite fully comprehend the severity of the things going on around him. It’s fascinating and kind of heartbreaking. I wonder where it will go in the other 6 volumes.

There are scenes that amount to suggesting or showing domestic violence and pornography. This isn’t a book for children. One could argue this isn’t fully suitable for younger teens too.

god this shit was so boring. by the end, i didnt even care about the characters except for the love interest .

like i dont care about the pedophilic uncle's romance or how he cheats. i really don't! or the abusive friendships that go on!

asano seems to talk through his characters and the characters themselves are so one-dimensional ; it hurts. while punpun , aiko , and yuuichi have depth , it leaves nothing left for the other characters. it's good if you wanna focus on punpun's fucked up life story but it didnt live up to the hype that everyone gave it.
