Just finished reading this, can we have a Punpun thread? I thought

I read it about a year ago when I was recovering from a surgery and liked it. I think I might read it again sometime if I have the time or something else that guy has made.

>>148317349

>thought it was a comedy manga

I think the only part that made me wonder if was gonna be funny was "A piece of my brain just shot out of my wiener!"

Aside from that I had a pretty good idea that it was gonna be depressing as fuck.

>>148317349
>feels

It's trash.

>>148317349
Meh the beginning was good I think once he went to college years it started getting meh and then went to utter shits.Ending was nice though

It's all just a shitty collection of loosely tied together nonsensical tragedies and preaching with shit conclusion. Biggest fucking meme manga thanks to people who can't see past anime and manga.

It's a great manga. Wish I read it at a younger age.

>>148317349
Yes, we can

Here's a pretty interesting interview from asano
https://mangabrog.wordpress.com/2014/07/06/inio-asano-interview-reality-is-tough-so-read-this-manga-about-cute-girls-and-feel-better/

I really liked that part : Asano: Right to the very end, I wasn’t sure how to go about doing the last chapter. Among the possibilities I’d considered, I’d thought up an ending in which Punpun dies.

–How?

Asano: Satchan’s child falls off a train station platform, Punpun goes down to save him, dies instead. It’s a very clean way to end. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to end on such a clean note.

–What do you mean, “clean”?

Asano: It’s too clear-cut an ending for the story. It wraps it all up a little too well. Living is harder than dying, see, so I thought this was the most painful, worst possible ending for Punpun, and that’s why in the end I went with this final chapter.

–The worst ending is the truest ending for this manga, you’re saying.

This manga is a legit 9/10

Why, not like she was likeable or interesting. Watching her was suffering.

Punpun going full edgelord was really dumb
Damaging his own eyeball for literally no reason made no sense at all

I think it kinda went to shit when that manga bitch was introduced.

>>148330720
True. But I find girls who look like her attractive.

>>148330720
B-but she was best girl anon...

>>148330720
I think it went on a tad too long but I didn't mind Sachi or her sister's introduction. I think they were necessary to show how Punpun tried to start dealing with life without Aiko.

On another note, I really like his use of reactions in this series. Like when he moves into his house, and that couple are fucking next door. Just that look on his face as he drops the line "If things aren't better in *whatever time frame it was*... I'll kill myself". Like, you always knew Punpun was depressed, but to have it just thrown straight out there gave a lot of needed weight and impact to the moment I think. He looked so desolate. Also, what the anon said about God's face when Aiko hung herself. I didn't even really pay attention to it the first time, but it's so heavy hitting seeing him look genuinely horrified, coming from this chode who always had a smug face. It underscores how dark the scene was.

This one really hit me hard when I was reading because I knew that the things were truly going to shit and it probably was the last time they'd feel so happy. Plus it was the chapter where, for a moment, Punpun (visually) turned into that "bird" form we hadn't seen for a long time and it felt really nostalgic

I don't understand being able to relate to Punpun enough to be moved by it. Everyone in it is terrible. You can relate to people that awful?

I wouldn't even want to associate with those fucks for an instant. I was like this is so unrealistic, there can't be places in the world were every single person is a piece of shit, but then /a/ gushed all over it and I realized that the world must be worse then I thought.

So when my army of robots marches across the globe burning humanity to ash, remember that it was because of the amount of love Punpun received on /a/.

>>148333527
>Everyone in it is terrible
fuck off, the old man was great. It broke my heart when he got accused of stealing a fucking $10 trinket.

>>148333527
I don't relate to Punpun all that much, but I'm sure there are people who have a life just as awful as he does.
Also, you mustn't relate to someone in order to sympathize them

Sympathy shouldn't be the only thing that makes you experience 'feels'.

So, following this chain of thought, either I'm an emotionless robot, or I've misunderstood 'feels' for a long time now.

Babbie's first world problems: the manga

>>148335010
>depression is a first-world problem
fuck off

I sat and read it near nonstop for 17 hours. By the time i was done i had been awake 33 hours. Nearly 6 hours listening to eva2.0 - tsubasa wo kudasai. Needless to say, i was basically insane by the end of it.

I stubbornly tortured myself to finish reading about a bunch of psychos stubbornly torturing themselves and each other.

The experience was perfect.

Depression is something we barely know anything about, yet people use it so lightly. You first world baby. You don't understand. You wouldn't understand.

Do not fucking read this if you are even a little depressed. It made me suicidal/start smoking and again AND made me relive all my childhood/youth heartbreak.

I don't believe depression is real. Not in the medical sense. Yeah everybody gets sad and has anxieties about irrational things, but most people FUCKING GET OVER IT. For all I know, I'm as "depressed" as any one of you shits, except I have the mental fortitude and strength of character to continue being a functioning member of society, instead of curling up like a ball. And there's no medicine for "being a pussy", you were just raised wrong.

Same with ADD. Every kid wants to go bananas and not listen to instructions, but the ones who were raised properly know to cut that shit out.

>>148337574
That's not how it works according to medicine at all you idiot. Mental strength is a spook anyways.

Even though I didn't relate to punpun at the present moment of my life, lot's of things were relatable with the past. It has a lot of great moments everybody could relate to. For example the scenes where punpun met Aiko again and realised the person he was obsessing over did not really exist anymore.
So like the other guy said, you don't have to relate to a bad person to feel something.

>awful people

Do you know many people? Punpun is pretty realistic as far as people go. On the surface and talking to people they all seem nice, but everyone has their shitty parts inside, and punpun explores that.

The people you associate with most definitely have demons you don't know about, you just don't get to read a manga about their demons.

Is there any /a/rchive that goes back to when vol 12 came out?

>>148337957

>>148337539
Depression isn't just feeling bad. It's much more, you runt. Being a neckbeard with no friends, who lives in his parents' home, doesn't mean you're depressed, though, which is the situation for most users here.
