I think it went a little too hard to be misery porn. The first chapters were to have us understand the main character's gratitude at the bully's undoing and how meaningful it was to the octopus. No idea where it goes from here ofc. I'm guessing the cover-up is going to escalate due to the manga's title.

Look if we’re comparing this thing to another series it is clearly Narutaru.
This is actually the exact series I compare it to to conclude that it is not misery porn... Punpun kind of is because the narrator is so passive and his passivity is kind of the whole point of the series (not a knock against punpun).

So (spoilers up to chapter 11) it seems like he went back in time after something went wrong with Marina, and we're about to find out what that was?

But why did Azuma get in a fight with his brother in this timeline?

So I'm confused about the takeaway. The characters talked it out and it looks like a net win for everyone, but secretly a nice person had to die? It's like the solution for the characters' problems wasn't zero-sum but there's a magical force that required death to make it happen, implying nothing good can happen without someone suffering? Just weird. Art style was nice at least.
