This one’s a lot you guys!
I feel like I'm missing something.
I kept seeing this on so many lists about how dark and serious and depressing it is and I'm like ... it's just a boring drama with a lot of people that kinda suck? I don't even find it that sad tbh.
This also probably only bothers me, but I hate this girl on a visceral level:
I don't even remember her name and she never speaks but she's always drawn in the same pose with the same expression. Whenever I see her in the background it just fills me with rage for some reason.
I also hate the kid with snot always coming out of his nose and his stupid grin. And the friend of the uncle who shows his teeth and doesn't say anything but waves his hand back and forth. Some of the facial expressions and character designs in this are just really unappealing and annoying.
That being said ... I obviously keep reading so there must be something here that's bringing me back. Or maybe I'm hoping this will take a turn and actually get really dark and depressing.

The 2nd volume’s taken a darker turn compared to the last. From here, we’re given a spotlight about Yuichi Onodera, Punpun’s uncle and his mother’s brother.
His character is portrayed as someone who remains lost with his way of living, even in his 30’s. He’s got a bitter outlook in life due to his past experiences and does what he can to overcome it.
This is also a slightly longer volume and has a more mature content, so there’s your word of caution for younger audiences.
