I thought I was in for a cute, wholesome time. I was not. And that's not bad! Goodnight Punpun delves into Punpun, a pre-teen young man who is going through the classic pre-teen things. And also God - who looks like a copy-pasted real life person and is summoned with a special weird chant that I no longer remember - is there. Honestly a great read, but I think I just wasn't quite in the headspace to fully embrace it, and in terms of preparing myself for the future of the series, I did some digging and the vibes get DARK. I'd be down to try this again later in life, but right now, it's just one of them classic "tricks you into the edgy topics" manga.

Dont hate me for this but i thought this book was kinda creepy? Maybe im not smart enough to understand but half the book was centered around kids being obsessed with porn

I thought the illustrations were phenomenal but like that does not not excuse the fact that this book was sossososooo ass

My friend said its really good so maybe ill read more of the books in the series but like… i really dont want to

I heard a lot about Goodnight PunPun so I decided to pick the first volume up. I think the first volume shows a lot about being in your youth and going through the journey of self discovery. I felt for punpun and his feeling of existential dread and the changes he had to go through when his parent’s relationship ended. Im looking forward to the second volume and following punpuns journey.
