1.0

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.
