Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 2 by Inio Asano

5.0

Goodnight PunPun in my opinion isn’t Inio Asano best work but I do still somewhat enjoy it. By somewhat i mean that the story is so uncomfortable to read. The characters are disgusting. The back stories are uncomfortable and the art is terrifying in a weird way. In a writing sense provoking these type of emotions in such a way is genius but it is also very uncomfortable and hard to get through. I enjoy it to an extent. I think that i enjoyed Solanin more but i still haven’t finished the series so i’ll think back on that after.

Also i want to point out that with the 16 year old who the uncle “liked” (pedophile) her eyes were almost doll like. Her name is never stated. I think that those things almost make it seem as though the uncle only saw her as a pretty play thing and not as a human. As well as how he perceived the mother too. It’s all so uncomfortable to read but i think that in that sense inio asano did amazing.
