fast-paced

2.0

Didn’t like the sexualizing of women and the caricature of black people the writer decided on adding around the ending. An interesting idea blending humor with very traumatic experiences but lacks actual impact due to the fact that the author tries to “adult-ize” the children. Execution of the idea falls short due to the exploitation of minorities in my opinion. This is a very common theme within mangas of such genre, sadly. I will not be continuing this series, though I won’t judge others for doing otherwise.

This series is so strange & bleak but it keeps me coming back for more. The art is really interesting and theres just so much going on but also very little happens? Read the TW’s beforehand, it’s cover and silly little bird shaped characters are misleading on purpose. I like that the characters grow older with each volume!

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.
