if this is meant to be emulating punpun then it's a poor successor. it goes too far into dirge too fast and the title character's tonal dissonance with the rest of events is a one-note joke that loses its effectiveness halfway through the second chapter

also the art kind of sucks but there aren't many manga that measure up to asano's stuff on that front

so it views everyone with giant blocky heads and pez-dispenser necks?

some real “my mother is also named martha” energy in that ending

the whole thing felt like farce aside from azuka’s situation

punpun is a very lengthy slice-of-life story whose characters are all gorgeously drawn and detailed except for the protagonist (and family), who is a little doodled bird that routinely talks to a cutout photo of a man in an afro and spends a lengthy series of chapters as a floating triangle of varying dimensions

i think even SHAFT would back away from that and go "not for us, thanks"

me at chapter 110 of punpun: "oh hey, maybe this is going to have a happy ending after all"

"Hello, Punpun."
