I used to recommend it, but that was while it was still in progress. After it finally ended, I could not recommend it anymore.

Aiko deserved better.

I remember seeing that page

Something in me died that night

>>85671116

Seriously, dude who hasn't read it yet, don't look at this. Major spoilers.


He's too weak to kill himself, he need Aiko to do it. But since she offed herself first, he's stuck in limbo with friends and family he doesn't care about. The tragedy is that without Aiko, he'll never be happy. Without Aiko, he'll never be able to die by his own accord. Without Aiko, he's nothing. But with Aiko, he's still a sociopath who knows nothing but suffering. At least before their adventure together, he had his memory of her. His perfect version of her. Now he doesn't even have that, as that dream near the end reveals.

>>85671228
I also forgot to mention the major use of the daruma and its significance to the plot. Considering the Pegasus is the foil to Punpun, we see how the Daruma affects them both. Pegasus completes his mission of saving the Earth, and so is rewarded by having his left eye filled in. Punpun, on the other hand, loses his left eye and therefore will never complete his goals in life. And as we remember from the beginning of the book, his goal was to run away with Aiko and live happily ever after together. The second he damages his eye, we know how the story will end.

Holy FUCK I love talking about this manga. I'm gonna have to read it again.

>>85671535
It's not graphic, but check out No Longer Human. It's a short novel, only takes 2 hours to read, and is in the same vein as Inio's depressing shit.

>>85670967

I couldn't love or care for Punpun anymore at a certain point, he made so many shitty decisions and treated Aiko like shit. I was glad he got a bad ending.

Pun Pun was so fucking sad it became funny at times.

Holy shit the despair and utter hopelessness Pun Pun embodied man.

Just a fucking hope vacuum.

>>85671689

I wanted Punpun to get his shit together. I wanted him to have a happy life.

cause if he could do it, maybe I could do it too

>>85671886
Is it hopeless to the point of being downright nihilistic or just really depressing?

>>85671916
At least Solanin had a happy end.

>>85671935

Not that anon, but just really depressing. Punpun gets a bad end, but most everybody else carries on with their lives.

>>85671935

It's just really depressing, to be honest he deserves most of his suffering.

>>85671975
>>85671989
Ah okay. Do you know any of the nihilistic stuff? Like there's no hope and no matter who you are, you're going to your shit fucked up?

>>85672134
Western stuff, I can't think of any off the top of my head. But, if we're talking manga, then Aku no Hana might be up your alley.

Not a comic, but I think the later seasons of Morel Orel share the same atmosphere that Punpun has. I can't think of anything else that would be similar since Western /co/ stuff rarely focus on making realistic stories with nihilistic undertones.

It's about a bullied highschool girl who becomes a cutter.
Before she turns the corner and makes a real friend that shit is brutal.

4chan is no longer just an anime image board. Hell that's why /co/ exists, because the world at large views shit like that in disdain and there needs to be containment.

That is why I have a problem with the happy-good ending. It's completely undeserved. A last minute swerve that feels out of place.

You can't tell me he ends in a worse place that where he was headed. Minus one eye.

The constant draining of hope you still cling too, despite being proven wrong every time that anything good can happen to these characters you care about.

The despair is delicious. You will never bottom out

>>85671688
By Osamu Dazai, right?

That was such a great novel. Terribly sad too. Those Japs sure know how to make someone despair

>>85679277
>>85679558
What happened? Was it cancelled or something?

Anyone reading Asano's latest work, DeDeDeDeDestruction? It's definitely getting darker than his interview about it made it sound.

>>85680329
I haven't caught up yet because I don't know what group is scanlating it. Got a link?

The art, as usual, looked nice and I iiked the way the plot sounded

>>85680398
It's up on Batoto, you'll need to make an account (free) to read anything though.

http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/dead-dead-demons-dededededestruction-r11881

Plot definitely turned out to be better than I expected. There's just something about the way Asano writes characters and their daily lives -- it's one of the things I enjoyed the most about Punpun.

>>85680455
Thanks. I have a Batoto account - I don't know why I haven't checked til now.

Have you read his little standalone manga? Think it has something to do with the summer, or the rain, but it's one volume. Is it good?

>>85680512
Ah I haven't. The only works I've read by Asano are Punpun, DeDeDeDeDe and Solanin. I'm planning to go through more of his works (Girl on the Shore next) once I have more free time.

Punpun's actions and mental state were cause by a bad family life Punpun never had any particularly good role models and his friends weren't much better off. His actions were his own but sometimes a person just knows nothing else

"Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth" and most of Chris Wares work is pretty depressing in its look at the human condition. Quimby Mouse is equally bleak sometimes

>>85671975
Solanin had a pretty non-end. Im glad (forgot her name) got her catharsis but she ends up not developing her life beyond that.

>>85672134
Grant Morrison has a decent amount

>>85680329

Oh it is?

His interview really bummed me out,I'm glad he was just having a laugh.

>>85682189

It is a bit weird, but it doesn't go over the top. There are alien characters but they don't really do anything outlandish. They can be taken as a symbol if anything. The rest of the story is grounded in reality, and there's even a political aspect to the story.

>>85682263
Yeah it isn't super dark but definitely isn't cute girls doing cute things.

Also, another example for the thread

>>85669908
There are people who think that punpun had an good ending at the end of the manga

>>85685743
A good ending can still be a sad ending. What matters more than the characters' happiness is whether or not the show's themes and plot threads were wrapped up.

And while Punpun had a rather sad ending, I think it was still a good one.

>>85685861
I meant good as in happy.

Punpun was basically a walking corpse at the end, he lives only waiting to die.

>>85671535
I found Clarissa to be fucking depressing

>>85671709
Flex Mentallo is depressing?

>>85682048
Was it? I remember the main character going through a lot of tough unfair shit but I thought the ending was pretty optimistic in a weird way. Then again it's been years since I've read it.

>>85671535
I thought the Sculptor was pretty damn sad at the end.

>>85674424
