amras 's review for:

Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 9 by Inio Asano

2.0

---

guy calls his girlfriend "lad"

Unfortunately Punpun and Sachi

can't find a way to sell their manga as their editor thinks it's too boring

. I really enjoyed learning more about Seki and Shimizu's backstory, now I understand why they spend so much time together and why Seki takes care of Shimizu, it's cute. As Punpun decides to change his name, start afresh and get his shit together after spending weeks (months?) alone in his apartment, he finally walks into Aiko. I'm assuming they're gonna start hanging out again and I'm happy I'm gonna see more of Aiko, I missed her. I'm not really into the whole cult arc but I fear it's gonna last until the end of the series. I can tell Punpun's mental health is getting so much worse but I can't really bring myself to care to be honest.
