Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 3 by Inio Asano
3.0
The story at this point, although containing those poignant moments which make it easy to see why it has been relegated to the status of a classic, nonetheless starts to feel like a one-trick pony. There’s A LOT that’s visually dazzling, compelling, and of course, that signature Inio Asano mix of endearing and disturbing. Yet, the story here starts to feel a bit taxing, just a constant, angry indictment on humanity, which seems to lack anything particularly new to say except constant, garrulous wails (however entertaining and gripping they might be).
Yet, I will keep reading, because there’s something strangely intriguing and gripping about the entire thing, and because it promises to hit unprecedented highs (or in this case, lows) in its future installments. To me, it is morbid curiosity, above all else, really, that this story devotes itself to keep stimulating.
