Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 6 by Inio Asano

3.0

The story here has taken its most sinister turns, to varying degrees of effectiveness. It reaches astonishing and unprecedented levels of nihilism and monstrosity, and yet so much of how the story began feels abandoned, even willfully ignored. Understanding that at this point, Goodnight Punpun had been serialized for years, and knowing full well that the story Inio Asano is telling here is probably largely different from the one he set out to tell years ago, nonetheless, the overall project seems uneven, and hits just as much as it misses, sadly. But the best quality that this story can boast of, is its surprising readability, and a visual style that never, ever falters.
