Ilustration During Books Oyasumi Punpun (Oyasumi Punpun #1-13)
"Masterpiece" is not a word often associated with the manga medium, but "Oyasumi Punpun" deserves to be called nothing less. Author Asano Inio has taken the comic story-telling format to its utmost potential with this 147 page powerhouse of despair. Asano's decision to depict Punpun Onodera--a day-dreaming, sensitive, innocent young boy who's exposed to despondent and abusive parents--as a simple, cute line drawing of a little bird, is a genius act of characterization. As we watch Punpun fumble through young life with the best intentions, only to have his spirits and hope crushed in the worst way imaginable, the audience is helplessly endeared to the adorable spindly bird. Unfortunately, Punpun's life isn't as simple as his line drawings, and he'll have to keep learning the hard way to hopefully find a shred of meaning in the cruel, unrelenting realm of morbid reality. Never have I felt such hopelessness reading a manga, or have I felt such pain for a particular character. The reader, much like many people in Punpun's life, stands by and cheers him on and hopes he'll pull through, but in the end, we're disappointed again and again. Our poor Punpun is a slave to his demons, and any reader will have a horrifying time as he tries his best to escape them.The art in Oyasumi Punpun is wonderful. The contrast of Punpun as the little bird against a hyper realistic, gritty background and lovingly drawn supporting cast is effective in portraying his alienation. The quality of the art never fluctuates either, it's always consistent and gorgeous. The story is something I'd imagine Lars Von Trier would come up with if he set out to produce a gorgeous manga. The lives of Asano's characters are ruthless, unforgiving, and by the time you reach the mid point you'll wonder how much more horror can one boy suffer--but there's always that shred of hope. Or so you'd like to believe.

This isn't the best manga of the decadeit's not the best comic of the decadeit's one of the best pieces of literature published so far this decade, bar noneLike others, I'm posting this review as one for the whole series because getting too deep into each individual volume of Goodnight Punpun would be quite a feat.Wow. Like, wow. I had to lay back and just be flabbergasted for about half an hour after finishing volume 12 the other night. I'm definitely not a manga reader of any regularity, but I can definitely say Goodnight Punpun has immediately become one of, if not, my favourite graphic series of all time. It perfectly mixes innocent and fun
i read the entire series in a week a few years back and it made me insanely depressed. it's good though
I was attracted by the drawing style and the high grades. I did not manage to finish volume 5, but I believe 1000 read pages of this manga entitle me to leave a review, cause I doubt it's gonna get any better.This is a manga you go into it thinking there's some hidden message there, it's 80% made of monologues, and talking to yourself (or God, same thing) unavoidably leads to philosophy, knowing one's self better and all that stuff you do when you have too much free time on your hands and your
What can I say about this series?It was funny. And weird. And insane. Impossible. Realistic. And completely heartbreaking.This is one of those stories where it starts off a bit nonsensical; but as you continue reading, it becomes obvious there is a darkness lurking within. And hell, the darkness was really overpowering here.With this in mind, I wouldn't recommend this manga to just anybody. I usually try not to let stories get to me too much, but this one ended up getting in too far. Before I
If you think Welcome to the NHK is too positive when it comes to depressed people, Oyasumi Punpun is the same thing only super negative. Partially photorealistic and partially cartoony, it stands out from everything else. The protagonist and his family are depicted as doodles, which can be interpreted in a dozen different ways, from lack of identity, alienation, depiction of emotions and so on. While the plot was about the protagonist and his anxieties, I was loving it. Everything was an
This is by far the most beautiful obscure braided thing I've ever read my whole life, I've never related to a story or a character as much as I did while reading this.
