This volume had a strong start, and it ends on a cliffhanger. From the very beginning, you already know that something is off about “Punpun” and the world he lives in. The way the adults were portrayed was funny and creepy. There’s a lot of stuff about sex and puberty, mostly from Punpun’s friend group; there’s also other topics like

domestic abuse and divorce (about Punpun’s parents)

. Punpun and his friend/crush Aiko are kids who both have strange, if not outright dysfunctional, home lives. They’re also super introspective and care about how others see them. There’s a sense of turmoil going on for them, as well as the undercurrent of climate change and an unstable economy. It’ll be interesting to see how the characters turn out in the rest of the series.

Previous time I ranked this at three stars, but it is slowly sliding into more of a two. I dislike the way how the main character is drawn, I find it just annoying. The amount of misogyny is incredible, I wish I never had to deal with it. I will still continue, since I am trying to get through the series and see why are other people so interested in it.

A surreal beginning to a coming-of-age tale.
At first, I worried that this book would be just another boys-going-through-puberty-and-discovering-porn-the-end, but it ended up being much more than that! It is filled with character, sadness, comedy, and charm.
Dear God, dear God, tinkle hoy!

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.
