Beautiful, meaningful ending that leaves up many interpretations for the story and valuable messages. Absolutely amazing art and the emotional impact will depend on how you interpret the ending.

Holy crap, what a strong, tragically fucked-up yet bittersweet end for a manga series that started so weirdly quirky. I had originally thought it’d be a typical coming-of-age tale but Punpun sucker punched my expectations. The character development and overall tone changes almost drastically throughout Goodnight Punpun, and yet it feels natural. Each character and their side-plots are interesting, heartbreaking, and, more importantly, ambiguous. Watching children (and even the adults) around them grow — especially those who can’t escape or recover from their trauma — is painful. The possibilities of how they will end up, what they will do, can drive a person crazy.
Is there point to wondering about it? That’s a question I could see some characters asking.
I would give the manga series as a whole 4.75/5 stars. I wish I could read the series for the first time again.
Dear God, Dear God, tinkle hoy!
