when I read punpun I realized how similar our mindsets were and the future dangers of going down his path

I read this manga when i was home for the summer my sophomore year. i was depressed, and lashed out at anyone who tried to reach out to me. reading this manga made me realize a lot of things about myself, mainly that not being yourself at all times will always lead to anguish. i learned that no matter what, if i’m feeling something or if i have something to say, i have to express it. i have to move forward, and remember why i am where i am. this manga is one of the many things in my life that brought me into adulthood, i would suggest anyone who can stomach they admittedly triggering content to give this a read. we are all punpun at some point, but there’s always a way to take your mask off.

I will always say I think that this is one of the only story I genuinely felt earned its nihilism and its depressing ending.

Oh, wait! You haven’t seen depressing yet. I would recommend you to read Aku No Hana by Shuzo Oshimi. But since that shit is depressing AF its best for you not to read it. But unlike Goodnight Punpun, it got a fresh happy ending.

What really broke me in PunPun was how gloomy and realistically tragic the atmosphere of the story was, And that got me gloomy for a week.

the last volume of this series is a masterpiece. there’s some frustrating parts throughout cause Punpun is in many way responsible for his own misery, so it’s hard to always root for him. this was a great review Ryan, and I’m happy you are doing better. Personally I’m not in a good place so punpun is almost a nightmare to read at those times cause it gives you very little to no hope for happiness. But I guess what the story is saying is «don’t be like punpun».

I've been suffering from depression for about 15 years now. Needless to say, I've deeply connected with this manga, specially with Punpun himself. And also, as you can imagine, I've connected with a lot of scenes and inner dialogues from him that hit very close to home. But I didn't find this story as devastating as a lot of people seem to find it. Then today, I was on a pretty good mood, euphoric even. Then, I had the wonderful idea of just rereading a couple of random scenes, and.... I went to that dark place again for a few moments. So, I've realized that the reason this manga didn't drown me further into darkness, was because I was already there. So, for me, Oyasumi Punpun was more like a friend who descends deep into darkness to keep you company.

Man when his mother died and said those last words but punpun just never said anything cuz he didn't loved her .....it broke my heart so much .

reading reiraku by inio asano is crazy, its almost like a hateful memoir of a manga. Its pretty obvious that the main character is supposed to be him, but he is so brutal agaisnt himself and he just tries to lie everything bare. It feels like in reiraku he is basically confessing that "his intentions aren't pure."Its hard to explain. But some background is that inio asano lost signifigant amounts of popularity and sales when punpun started to become darker in tone. He was recieving backlash from his fans and from his publishers because it just wasnt selling well. Asano got angry at this, so he decided to start making manga that he thought was soulless and selling out. I believe thats the origins of Dead Dead Demons, but then he found support in his fans and he picked himself and decided to write dead dead demons the way he wanted it to be written. Reiraku is basically a story about that time. (I could be widly wrong, but thats what I think i remember from a google binge 5 months ago)

I wonder how many more masterpieces we would have in the contemporary era if artists weren't forced to become sellouts.

Man Oyasumi Punpun and Bojack Horseman are two masterpieces of media I never expected to be similar While we saw punpun grow up we saw bojack's life in reverse But both shows have their protagonists go towards a tragic downward spiral, making it hard to root for them.

What a coincidence, I just recently finished reading this, and you're right it did crush me

On another note from my last comment, I finished the manga today and so many thoughts are racing thru me. Best one right now? Punpun really is us, thinking we have it worse when there is a person like Aiko who doesn’t have friends or true family. Man punpun somewhat had it good with the people backing him while aiko just had a promise and a dream. Once it was fulfilled, that’s all she needed. It hurts me everytime I think about how what she wanted and what she got was exactly the same but still so different. Love and desperation go hand in hand. For once u want to be real wary of those hands touching. Good day punpun enthusiasts

This manga is tragic but beautiful. Im glad you did an all in 1 review instead of volume by volume,you really gotta take it and give your opinion once you take it all in imo. This book really did change my mindset on a lot of things,that shed panel in the final volume just broke me man. This manga is in my opinion a must read,but you should read it when you are ready whether it be 20 or 30. Seeing myself in punpun was painful but also helped me look deeper in myself and made me realize i need to change. Anyways enough rambling was typing along and writing down as i was watching so its kinda everywhere. Thanks for sharing your view and experience of this beautiful madness Ryan!

Pun pun is so real and raw when it comes to abuse and trauma it’s scary. Fantastic manga, but made me remember things that I wish i could forget

I couldve listened to you talking about pun pun for much longer than 17 minutes

I'm not damaged, depressed or obsessed and Pun Pun made me cry

Inio Asano might be my favorite mangaka. I would highly recommend Dead Dead Demons. I thought I wasn’t going to like it as much as his other series, but it wound up being possibly my favorite series by him.

I remember that i recomended this manga to you in a stream some time ago. Its really cool to know you finally read it :D

Ryan. Like you this manga felt like I was reading myself. I too lost someone. Reading this and hearing your explanation I thought; Alas, I know I’m not alone. I’m still in shock from reading the last chapter in only hours ago. I appreciate it for the journey. For the lesson and art. I hope you feel comfortable to make more videos on this in the future but at the same time, I completely understand. Thank you.

I can’t believe I’m just learning of this 2 years after you released this. One of my top 10 manga now.

I had heard about this one but never felt I was in the right state of mind to digest it. I will give it a try. Thank you very much for making this channel. It really helped me out more than you can imagine.

I've just finished the last volume and i haven't cried in a long time. It's amazing how this manga made me reflect on my own life. A truly amazing piece of art.

This review of Punpun is the best video on this. Well done

I love goodnight punpun so much for not only had it made me feel but for how everyone relates to it a little differently. There's somethings that I can relate to with punpuns mother that others can't and vice versa on different scenarios within the story.

This is a REAALLY good review as usual.

Never been so early! Keep up the work bro

just bought the whole series. for a reading marathon.

For me the worst was the family, it was like I've read my life. Normally I never cry, I just stop it because... there were no real reason, but this part made me cry up like a small baby.

The line I remember most is this. "I'm much more ordinary than you were hoping I would be."

The older I get the less hardcore stuff I read. I skipped Punpun specifically because of it's content. I'm not suicidal (in these past months...), but I'm unstable and emotionally fucked enough to sense the risk of Punpun.I'm still a nihilist of sorts, but in a ligjt and carefree way that I got through meditation. I would not be alive without it. Please, save your mind. Meditate.

Glad to see another video about this great manga!

Punpun made me cry. And i have not cried in a long long time.

Damn bro your words hit deep, made me tear up, will be buying this manga as well as subbing🤝

I've always been intrigued by this manga but I never let myself read it because my mental health is crumbling at the moment and I just don't think it would be a smart idea. Hearing everyone say how it crushes them almost makes me read it more.

I have started reading PunPun and now I have all those video recommendations...

my boi ryan spittin' life facts

Thanks for sharing, i relate to all of this.

Yeah! Punpun!

I just finished it, I think he does a good job capturing existing. I’m finding it hard to put words to it but it’s almost like the final book captures the finality of life but not with death defining existence but life that is fleeting. All these little intangible things we do ends. I think it’s a lot many emotions and it definitely hit me gradually after like a wave as the full impact started coming in.

I love this story so much. There is some things in the manga I have dealt with. Most of the time I was hoping punpun would change or get help. As it went on and I kept hoping for a good ending the drop off into the abyss the ending was hit me hard and it really shows that continuing on a path where you’re down and not trying to get help even when it’s possible soon it will be impossible. The part where punpun actually has friends and somewhat of a new love interest I was really really hoping he would change and that is one of the opportunities he had to change but he clung to the memory of a girl he hasn’t seen since middle school and that’s the point I really started to realize that there’s a slim chance this will end well especially when he saw Aiko again I knew it even better. Experienced a mini version of it when I still clung to the hope this would still end well and I was shown how disappointing that could become

Welcome to the club buddy

Although people worry about depression and have suicidal thoughts like past me I'm glad to see people having each others backs in the comment section.

Read it with your friend or have a friend who read it before, this masterpiece really danger when you read alone. And this manga easily took my tears, just because it's related to me and the tragic that each characters must go through.

Human flourishing is the route to true happiness

bro you explained it the same way i felt while reading it

it took me a few days to take in and process oyasumi punpun, and each day i just bash my head thinking of each scenes and the meanings and.. and i saw myself in punpun, i realized. watching him grow up, his thoughts, everything that's happening around him,, i was in denial but,, nevertheless, it's a great series.

This is one of those stories that makes me feel genuine sympathy towards humanity. Obviously not all, actually not even the majority have to deal with so many layers of psychological pressure crushing them into a different being. But ig those that DO understand that feel more like real people to me that I can actually understand their thoughts, feelings, and ideas. I do not want those people to continue having to endure the same suffering day in and day out. And for better or for worse its one of the basically unbreakable points of ambition within me. Even reality itself seems like a manageable opponent to crush in order to improve the world as a whole. Such large ambitious rarely have any room for others to put faith in but it’s really hardly even nesscessary for me to be believed in. In the end I’m the master of my own progress and accomplishment. If I needed others to validate it, it wouldn’t even really be my own ambition pushing me forwards. Probably a depressing standpoint to most but it’s honestly been the ultimate way to carry on no matter how many times I fall. And that keeps me shockingly shielded from hitting total hopelessness

Personally, I think punpun's design is for relatability. The simplistic design of punpun's character in the first few volumes allows reader to more easily relate to punpun. As the story progresses and punpun gets more detailed, it gets harder for the reader to relate to him because punpun is becoming his own person with his own story.

Yikes. Just hearing you talk about this manga actually made me cry. You sound like you’ve been through a similar experience to me. I’m afraid to read this now 😅

This manga is something I deeply regret reading yet I am happy I read it. When you say the last volume is able to crush you, it really is. I read it and felt an instant resurgence of emotions I felt for a while but have been manageable. That night, it wasn't manageable but I just moved on. Like Punpun, I just had to move on whether I wanted to or not.

I read PunPun recently when I was moving out of my parents home to live by myself similarly to the MC, and man it made me feel really depressed because I related so strongly with what he was going through. But I was like the art is sooooo good thoooo. But yeah not the best time to read it.

Godamnit Ryan, I was checking out anime shirts on teespring and I saw Pun Pun. And now Pun Pun here too Good video though 👍

There’s a tough point in reading punpun while you’re feeling down. It can hurt you deeper, but it can also help you grow more, reading this while I was suicidal was more of a benefit for me than if I read this when I was feeling normal

I'm currently trying to read this series and much like Bojack Horseman I find myself relating to Punpun in more ways than I care to admit. Honestly the story and characters are great but it's probably gonna take me some time to finish due to the subject matter.

Glad you read it

I couldn't stop reading this.. read the whole thing In 2 days lol

I read the start of Punpun at my local library as a teen and thought it was just dumb and creepy. After reading it as an adult, I discovered one of my favorite manga, which resonated to me on a personal level, and most importantly made me confront who I was. These thoughts were not pleasant but they were definitely very important to me as a young adult.

Out of all the manga I’ve read I consider Pun Pun to be the darkest in tone because it’s so real

I guess that's what was missing. I haven't experienced any of those events, so none of it deeply resonated with me. But I can still understand the realness of the emotions portrayed in the manga. Punpun threw me off since I couldn't insert myself into him. So, naturally, I can't appreciate the manga as much as someone who was able to.

this is the best commentary I've seen on the manga. Many people rush to judge and criticize the characters with a sense of moral superiority and lack of empathy, which is sad because they fail to see what lies beneath the surface of their behaviors. Perhaps they haven't experienced similar situations and struggle to empathize. I'm not justifying the horrible events in the manga, but it's important to understand why some characters end up in such states. A lot of people hate Aiko and paint her as a villain, ignoring the immense suffering she endured. It's natural for someone who's been through such trauma to end up in a similar state. Many have never experienced the kind of intense, desperate love that leads you to sacrifice everything for someone else. When both characters are social misfits, it's them against the world. Those who haven't had similar experiences may not fully appreciate Inio Asano's skill in accurately depicting insecurity, heartbreak, and depression. It's not about romanticizing these feelings but rather learning to reflect on them and empathize with those who experience them it's sad to see so many videos and comments being like "Haha crippling depression amirite? xD, ugh these characters are disgusting they're just assholes! I don't get it!"

I didn’t have the courage to finish this manga. Hits too close to home.

When i was younger, i had a dear friend who i will call Elle. Elle and i were great friends, always having sleepovers and messaging each other all the time. Even when she moved into another city, we kept in close contact. Then one day, she told me to not talk to her again. She blocked me everywhere. I was devastated and couldn't understand what happened. Had i done something wrong? Had she hated me this whole time? For five years i couldn't get her out of my mind, i would see her in my dreams, her laughter haunting me like a ghost. I once started to cry in a bus cause i thought that one of the passengers was her for a fleeting moment. I would imagine what i would say to her if we ever met again. I would imagine how we could meet. I wanted to go to the other city to look for her, but never did. Two months ago, i met Elle again. She didn't recognize me at first, but after a while it clicked for her. She said that she was sorry for what she'd said back then, she was sorry for our falling out. We are friends again and we are planning to see each other soon. For the longest time, Elle was my Aiko, and maybe in some sense she still is. Reading Oyasumi Punpun has helped me. I now know which path to choose in my future....and what to do to not end up in the same situation as Aiko and Punpun did. I am grateful, so much so that i cannot express it. Thank you.
