    The thing about Oyasumi Punpun is that the author Asano Inio is heavily nihilistic, and despises the idea of escapism. Because of this, the manga takes very real, deep looks into issues like domestic abuse, sex, depression, and suicide. The issue for me at least is that after a certain point the manga becomes an almost never-ending stream of sadness and depression. That's why I enjoy manga like Fullmetal Alchemist more, because they tackle serious issues in both positive and healthy ways. I appreciate Oyasumi Punpun as a manga and am glad it exists, but sometimes I feel like it wallows in its negativity, which is both its greatest strength and biggest weakness.

      Agree and even Asano agrees, he said that he felt he went too far into the pessimistic view. Still, the ending in my mind is optimistic, albeit, as optimistic as nihilism can get.

    That's the thing about being an adult who is taking care of a kid. You have to be a good example, no matter how bad the situation is. You need to be calm and collected, get your shit together even if your shit isn't getting together. 🙃 Also, we all have a different side that we only show to a specific group of ppl. At the end of the day, we are all broken in different ways.

    Even without that hint at the end you can tell they're normal humans. Obviously because of the way they act and live their lives but also there's another detail. Everytime you see Punpun's or any other family member's hand too close, it's always dark but it's always the shape of a human hand.

      Solanin is much more "trivial" I'd say, in the sense that you watch the struggles of the FMC as an teenager reaching adulthood. Don't get me wrong, I love Solanin so much, but the depth of emotions can't be compared with Punpun, we see him grow and become just like us, sometimes making the same mistakes we did when we were younger, and sometimes sticking to memories of the past just like we did. There were moments I cried while reading just thinking "don't do it, Punpun, you will regret it later", and it happens and makes him depressed. The quality of writing from Inio Asano is out of the roof in this work, truly relatable characters and clearly describring and depicting feelings.

    The reason he’s depicted as a bird is partly because the author wanted people to keep reading, and by having someone that looks like a human do all the messed up things he does, it can be hard to read. It’s still hard to read but it certainly helps. Also he’s not always a bird, and as he changes forms we keep more of an understanding of how he’s feeling at that point in time. It helps the author convey emotions

    The author is a known and outspoken nihilist, and i think that the story starts out with that really being a narrative strength, and by the end of the story it really gets in its own way. At some point, it just becomes a hopeless soul crushing torture porn with no escape. And no matter how jaded you might feel and how miserable and truly awful life can be sometime , you really need to still show glimmers of hope.

      "you really need to still show glimmers of hope."
      Why? There's value in stories that show no hope. There is value in stories that are overly and naively hopeful. There is value in stories in between and even bitersweet. There is value in variety and people want and need different kinds of narratives at different times. It's like when someone tries to be a 'fixer' in real life. It may or not be useful but sometimes people just need to be able to feel - and sometimes that's to wallow in sadness and negativity. Of course, things have balance and people shouldn't stay there forever, but back to stories, there's nothing wrong with not having a glimmer of hope.

    @lickumdry6016 Місяць тому

    Yeah I get where Garnt and Connor are coming from with the idea that even if the stuff that happens in Punpun early on hasn't happened to you its characterization and presentation of it just makes you relate or at least sympathize with it. You know how punpun feels not in a surface level way but like you really feel like you feel what he is feeling and having relevant experiences or at least something that could tie you at all to any of those scenarios in even the slightest way makes it drastically uncomfortable and empathetic yet engaging and uneasy.
    This was originally going to be way longer of a comment on the uncomfortable similarities between some stuff in punpun and my own experiences as a kid but decided it didn't need to be in a comment. Short version is the more you can understand where punpun's or his uncle's or any other character's in that manga's head is at as the bad and uncomfortable stuff happens the more I found it not just resonating with me more but completely taken back by just how real these characters and events feel. It's insane that rather than me thinking about how I relate to how X character feels or is acting and instead felt like I was next to people I knew empathizing with their real problems and that's absolutely wild his characterization is so strong it could cross that emotional barrier of empathy from reading something to more similar to empathy of being near people these things are happening to.
    Reading punpun was an absolutely wild and emotional experience but besides everything else that's fantastic about it the thing that stands out the most is the sense of genuine empathy I felt for the characters rather than the sort of second hand empathy I tend to feel towards emotional stories and characters even the ones I get heavily invested in.

    YO CAN ANYONE RELATE ON GOOGLE THE CHARACTERS TO MAKE SURE THEY’RE ALRIGHT (because I kinda ruined the ending for myself and it took me out of the story for a couple of months and it can’t jus be me right?…) (it’s not fair one bit the book and life) the ending hurts and is hopefully… I don’t know what to feel bout it :l

    Honestly, whenever i think about punpun i just feel like throwing up. My body literally rejects that manga. I probably should have given up at it at some point but I was stubborn and read it all. I regret it. My stomach really isn't fine as I'm writing this :(

    Oyasumi Punpun is very relatable especially if you experienced sexual abuse, and very messed up upbringing.

    It's an absolute masterpiece.

      @@golagiswatchingyou2966 I mean hell, no story is "perfect," but Oyasumi PunPun left me feeling more hollow and lifeless than any other story has left me feeling. "Masterpiece" as in my reaction to it was profound and genuinely changed my perspective on "good" and "bad" people and actions. Especially Aiko, she's such a well-written character, holy crap.

    I like the series (obviously) but it does whiff of trauma porn, Asano writes Punpun like he has a personal grudge against the character at times.

    Punpun is drawn like a bird because realistically, this makes the drawing the manga waaaaaaaay easier.
    Think how Toriyama was like super saiyan gives them blonde hair cause filling in all their hair is a pain in the aaa and uses A LOT of ink

    Spoiler so don't read it
    I don't think I understand Joey's point of you can interpret the ending through the double panel. I thought it's just Aiko died, Punpun failed to kill himself and will try to live on. After all he's been through it's not really a good nor bad ending, but what's the 'bad ending' interpretation for the ending?

    im ngl punpun is long, but its not good, like at all. its just depressing, thats it. nothing else, just all the terrible things happen to him and thats all there is to it. there's no substance, just pain. people say its good just cause it makes you feel like shit. might be a hot take but ya the story's not good and the whole thing is just bad. in my opinion of course you are allowed to like it

    Gonna need them to read Boy's Abyss after this. Easily one of the best romance manga I have ever read because the reason why character's are struggling to get with one another is not because of some stupid "will they? Won't they?" or "I don't want to lose them as a friend" bs

    • @NuukaYT
      @NuukaYT Місяць тому

      Boy's Abyss tried to be dark and depressing but they have too many diverging story line making it unnecessarily convoluted.

    • @NuukaYT
      @NuukaYT Місяць тому

      Reduce the number of character make it more streamline and actually focused more on the important characters. Keep only one childhood friend, remove the teacher, remove the brother. The idol girl literally have no character arc, first chapter she relied on the writer/husband, last chapter she relied on the MC.

    • @NuukaYT
      @NuukaYT Місяць тому

      The double suicide schtick that they do get tiresome. Everyone wanted to do double suicide with the MC. When a person or character declares that they want to end their life, it's supposed to be a shocking event for the reader. By overdoing it and giving every character the same suicidal thoughts it lessen the impact.
