Awesome

Well, i must say it the best Coming of age and Psychological manga i ever read.
It very deep in describ the change in Punpun after years and others.
One thing more, it break the old order in very special ways. for example, when describe the kiss ( etc...), other shoujo mangaka would focus on the kiss of the two, but Asano-sensei make it very large that i must find where the main chars are.

For anyone who hasn't read it before. i highly recomend..

it is really a good manga, sometimes i understand the main character, sometimes i don't ,it is really depressing but not like evangelion, this is a different kind of depression ,it is really good i must say and really admire the mangaka, this manga is awesome, at first i thought i wouldn't be standing the bird's but somewhere in the storyline just seem natural and it really didn't matter anymore, if u haven't read it, don't waste any more time and read this

Ingenious

Punpun is another great triumph of Asano Inio, further confirming his ability to write, well, anything, with nothing but the utmost excellence and superiority. Punpun is one of the smartest comedies out there- it's gutbusting, thought-provoking, disturbing, and heartwarming, often all at the same time. The highly-detailed art creates an excellent contrast with Punpun's cartoon visage, and the characters all prove to have interesting world outlooks. If you can deal with the sheer absurdity, you'd be doing yourself a huge disservice not to read this manga.

The first pages really got me off ... just as the rest

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

I'll keep reading it since it's supposed to be good but I don't think the rating will go up.
Edit :Most overrated piece of garbage I've ever read.

I feel like when I watched "wonderful " movie (the one of the boy with a scarred face). The intentionality of the author is way too obvious and the story gets forced into the characters .

One of the many attempts of the author the separate himself from the pieces of work from his age would be the more or less vanguardistic (for the time) mix of drawing styles on the characters in manga (which was pretty common on other media outside manga ,even old-fashioned at the time) and overuse of exaggerated gestures,actions combined with sudden changes in the action (one second we're killing each other ,the next panel they're fu**) that are used but the author to distort and convey his views .He does manage to show us his (pretty egoistic) prejudice on society whilst boring me to death.

But it totally fails to display emotions outside vulgarity and mediocrity. For example the train of thought of the MC as a child is devoid of the many intrinsic emotions the depictions of children should display ,not that he lacks the intention but the trains of thought are totally wrong, they're shown as if the MC had external experience(not shown in the manga) that doesn't come from himself or of the floating face. whilst punching the reader in our face with impact-full scenes of mediocrity

All the characters act /think as a 25+ year old man from the start of his adult work-life to his premature despair, getting tired of work and his disgust of how the Japanese society works (at the same time thinking all the world works the same and forces that view upon us readers) . I didn't even have to guess the author's age of when he wrote it

No alienation here folks, just a guy shankin' his ham.

What, he shanks his ham like once-- twice at max-- and suddenly it's classified under the masturbation category? Really, it's just a dire category on its own.
Age progression: yeah, definitely; dream/s: sure; family and flaws: yes, easy; realistic and surreal: why yes, this is just the case; a tad of schizophrenia: sure, if you look at it that way. Then masturbation. God. Dammit. On another note, this is a pretty sweet read.

I couldn't...

In general I like stories on the darker side, and this was but I really couldn't get myself to read to the end. The characters sometimes scared me but the main point which puts me off is probably the art, it's not bad but isn't the type I prefer and I also didn't like the symbolic portrayal of MC, couldn't really take him seriously like that. I also didn't find it particularly interesting enough to want to read more. I think this is something I'd put off for now and read later in life when I can hopefully appreciate it more.

It's just not for everyone. I read about 40 chapters and couldn't connect with anyone. I didn't like any of the characters nor did I want to wallow in sadness over the cruelty of normal life. I even found myself irritated at a lot of the characters, especially Punpun. If you were suffering like me through the first few chapters, don't bother.

If i were to summarize Goodnight punpun in one word it would probably be corruption. This author is great.

Since everyone said my opinions about this manga, I'll just say I wished to see more of Seki and
Shimizu... and rest of the gang. Seriously what happened to them? Okay it was pretty realistic
that not all elementary friends stay as friends (10% chance) but I still want to know what happened
to them.

Overrated.

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

yeah, the art is amazing, but the plot? the plot is garbage. A mass of negativity and hate towards everything with no reason, that's punpun for you. It's kinda promising at the start, but the nonsense and horny shit grows each chapter, until that's the only left. And again, Punpun has a exaggerated hate and disgust towards everything with no real detonator. In Aiko's case was understandable.
Besides, it was not a story worth that many chapters.
