My god. I expected the worst when I read "gravure model" and saw Aiko in the magazine. However when I wiki'd "gravure", I found out it meant "sexy happy model", more or less, instead of pornstar. Given the track record of this manga, I feel that my reaction was justified in that it's the kind of development that would crush my spirits for the rest of the day. I am curious to find out how she ended up modeling. I'm not expecting the journey to be uplifting.

Now we must wait 6 months to see how worse off punp^H^H^H^HTakashi is now that he met back up with Aiko. I bet it's going to be really bad. On a slightly different topic, I finally got around to reading the first volume of A Girl by the Sea, and well, I thought it was pretty good. I know its in monochrome to begin with, but it seemed like, to me anyway, everything was washed out and dull.

Just when I thought he'd turned a corner after the end of volume 8... this manga is torturous. It's always been a difficult read but it feels so much worse after that faint glimmer of hope.

Reading through the last couple chapters, I was thinking 'Please god, let him just loving kill himself in chapter 99 and end this'. I'd like to believe that the wait for the next volume is going to be harder than actually reading it when it comes out, but I know that isn't true.

Man Volume 8 ended on such a good note. But Volume 9 reminds us exactly what manga we are reading. Also lol "Punpun achieved the strangest erection"

I had been thinking that the last couple of chapters had been lacking in the whole "aw poo poo, SHIIIT" feeling but then chapter 99 rolls around and proves me wrong. Well, goddamn.

Man this manga is like a nightmare reality check for Japanophiles. "Oh you think Glorious Nippon is the land of the free and beautiful? Guess again it sucks here just as much as where you are!" I hope for the sake of the Japanese youth it's not really this bad because maaaaan.

I just read all of Punpun in the past day. Why was the last chapter put out in November, I have a burning need for more Punpun in my life. ANIME AKBAR posted:Sometimes I wish the manga was about Seki and Shimizu Me too, they're probably my favorites. The latest bit with them, though...

I had to stop reading Punpun cause it wasn't helping my depression back when it started. I've forgotten to pick it up again. Solanin is great, as a high school drop-out with a lovely job and playing in a band I really felt connected to it, the movie was boss too even with that stupid Ajikan song in it. Go to hell Ajikan. Also don't lend your Asano manga to your other depressive friends.

ANIME AKBAR posted:Sometimes I wish the manga was about Seki and Shimizu I'm guessing you'll get your wish with Seki probably being hired to mess up Mr. ~Good Vibrations~ and all.  Before we return to Punpun ruining his own life I'd just like to state that the Last Supper in 98 is pretty much the best thing ever. Literally everything about that page is loving hilarious. We've got Fatty McCatgirl as Bartholomaios, Dr. Pepper serving as the Eucharist, Biker Judas stealing Jesus' beer, and Shimizu as John/Magdalena (not sure which interpretation would be funnier). Never change, Asano.

I seem to remember something similar happening several volumes back. I think he has blackouts occasionally, probably some condition. Then again it could be just completely surreal with no actual explanation. Even by the standards of this comic his scenes are always far and away more detached from reality than the rest.

Most painful parts of this manga was Punpun doing to Sachi what he did to Aiko years ago. Also Punpun is drawn more and more as a human and not as a bird. Especially the sex scene and him kissing Aiko.

Didn't Punpun not get along well with his mother? Why is he talking about how there's no such thing as a mother that doesn't care for her children? Is it wishful thinking? It's got to be wishful thinking. Agh, I'm going to go crazy in the time until the next volume gets translated.

It's got to be wishful thinking. Agh, I'm going to go crazy in the time until the next volume gets translated. I think he realizes that his mom cared for him, and I'm pretty sure she said as much a few times, he just had a lovely childhood and it's hard to put those feelings aside when you're talking to that person face to face.

CHRIST Punpun, you need to stop making me relive my horrible relationship mistakes. I can't remember ever gasping out loud while watching or reading something, and this comic has done it three times in the last handful of chapters.

I know I'm late to this but goddamn why oh why did I have to remember about this comic and check back on it after assuming Inio Asano dropped it after volume 8. I mean okay, that's what I conveniently chose to believe because I knew it could only be downhill for Punpun from then on, but jesus christ this bird Then again in the last few chapters Punpun actually managed to parse together some sensible thoughts and be upfront about his feelings (in between, uh, doing less sensible things), maybe he'll make good decisions for himself and for everyone involved?? Things are gonna go just swell for this bird and those around him, I know it  (sachi, seki and the manager are going to die, shimizu's going to jail, aiko will go missing/homeless and punpun's gonna end up alone and sad in an empty apartment again, isn't he?)

So I bought the first volume of Punpun like a couple years ago and never got into it. Then a while back I picked this up totally on impulse because I liked the name and the cover art. It ended up being about the best manga I've read, so today I scanned my bookstore for anything else that he wrote, and grabbed Soranin. Then I saw Punpun next to it and I'll be goddamned if I had any idea it was the same guy. Guess I'll give it another try because he rules.
