Coup de coeur
(Manga), by Kamil
Inio Asanos Goodnight Punpun, Volume 1 is a raw, dark, and unique coming-of-age story following Onodera Punpun through his school years. As he navigates a messy family life, love, friendships, and personal struggles, the manga explores themes like depression, trauma, loneliness, and growing up. What makes it stand out is the portrayal of Punpun and his family as simple bird-like figures, contrasting with the hyper-realistic environment. This highlights how we often see ourselves and those closest to us differently than others do. From a visual perspective, I loved how the artist creatively and abstractly depicted emotions.
A dark coming-of-age tale where slice-of-life slices back.
This is Punpun Onodera’s coming-of-age story. His parents’ marriage is falling apart. His dad goes to jail, and his mom goes to the hospital. He has to live with his loser uncle. He has a crush on a girl who lives in a weird cult. Punpun tries talking with God about his problems, but God is a jerk. Punpun keeps hoping things will get better, but they really, really don’t.
Meet Punpun Punyama. He’s an average kid in an average town.
He wants to win a Nobel Prize and save the world.
He wants the girl he has a crush on to like him back.
He wants to find some porn.
That’s what he wants, but what does he get…?
