Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 2 by Inio Asano
2.0
This manga is so weird. Very existential but surprisingly I didn't find it that depressing. The only thing I had a real issue with was how was used as a plot device when there are better situations that could have been used without the same ick factor. And then the fact that is just not great. The actual parts that deal with Punpun and what's going on in his life were a less...problematic view of love though there's still kind of a toxic relationship dynamic going on there.
I don't know, maybe I'm not deep enough to get it and therefore some things just come off as bad to me. Either way, I'm still interested in this series but if things continue to be troublesome I might drop it. The writing is really fun though, the art is trippy and well done, and the time skipping that's been happening makes for a very interesting narrative time-wise.
