Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 1 by Inio Asano

5.0

Tragic yet funny coming-of-age manga about a boy who is desperate to belong somewhere in the world, and the hearts of others. This story deals with a lot of hard-hitting themes, such as domestic violence, bullying, and identity. The stark contrast between Punpun's (and his family's) depiction as a ghost-meets-bird and the gritty rendering of the adult characters really highlights the humor to be found in such dark sides of humanity. Can't wait to read the whole series.
