Goodnight Punpun Volume 1

Product Information

You pity him through his demise, you might even get angry at him. Nothing seems to work out how he wants it to, and his way with dealing with it can be upsetting.

Utisci su se smenjivali u toku čitanja. U nekim delovima mi se crtež dopadao, u nekim delovima je bio lošiji. Uglavnom su odrasli prikazani na uvrnut način, ali shvatam ideju iza takve odluke. Bilo je tu mirnih, spokojnih momenata, ali bi u sledećem trenutku autor ubacio jezive detalje i iznenadne uvrnute scene. U početku mi se to nije dopalo, ali sam to kasnije zavoleo. Time je održavao pažnju i uspeo u tome da mangu pročitam za okvirno pola sata do sat vremena. Priča nije ono što sam očekivao. Znao sam neke detalje pre čitanja, ali ne celokupnu ideju. Ni sada se ne zna gde će priča ići, što mi se dopada. Kao što rekoh, prvi tankobon je imao dobre i loše strane, ali sam zadovoljan celokupnim utiskom. Ostavio je dosta pomešanih emocija i tu zainteresovanost za ostatkom priče. Sam kraj prvog tankobona veliki je cliffhanger, što me zainteresovalo, ali i iznerviralo. Sad treba sačekati da nabavim drugi deo, pa da se priča nastavi... Zbog svega napisanog, želim da nastavim sa čitanjem serijala. Od narednih tankobonova očekujem više, jer je ovo tek uvod u sve što nas očekuje. Goodnight Punpun is a masterpiece. I highly recommend this manga to everyone, unless you suffer from severe depression, because this story isn’t the happiest one out there. It does involve vivid depictions of suicide, abuse, rape, etc. It's not for the faint-hearted readers. It's a solid 5/5 for me. Goodnight Punpun (Japanese: おやすみプンプン, Hepburn: Oyasumi Punpun) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Inio Asano.

all in all. I loved the book, bought the whole series and I am able to proudly show it off to my friends. I would recommend this book to anyone who even shows the slightest of interest, since it is somewhat of a light read with a heavy impact. the thing I disliked the most is that it was too tragic for me. I could even say that I felt disgusted by the whole thing. but those are my personal feelings. in terms of the content and execution it is phenomenal. Punpun odrasta u jednoj disfunkcionalnoj porodici, jako je usamljen i često u toj svojoj usamljensti razgovara sa jako zanimljivim ( malo sarkastičnim ) Bogom.

punpun experienced his first love at a very young age. i dont think it's true love per se, but he felt it was something. the writer was able to convey how that feels like for someone as young as punpun and how confusion will start to settle in as well as he gets older. this the perfect example of adults not thinking about how their actions will affect their kids. i hated punpun's mom. such a selfish human being. things certainly aren't always at it seems with the characters too. Then we have the insta-love trope. Main boy, Punpun, sees a girl and immediately falls in love with her. They talk maybe twice and he's already confessing. That isn't even the first time he's fallen in love so fast, a girl told him not to snitch on her for bullying someone, and this kid somehow found that attractive. Nobody in this manga has any concept of love either, the main couple say they love each other, and then he gets excited not because someone actually loves his sorry ass, but because it means he might have sex.

You can't help but think of something like Southpark while reading this since you have that same mix of adult attitudes and humor in a school setting for contrast. This is best seen in Aiko, Punpun's love interest, a gap toothed girl who talks about the end of the world due to an oil shortage, and how we have to get off the planet; until then she plans to blow all her money as a teen because the end is nigh if we don't find an interplanetary solution before she becomes an adult.

A coming-of-age drama story, it follows the life of a child named Onodera Punpun, from his elementary school years to his early 20s, as he copes with his dysfunctional family, love life, friends, life goals and hyperactive mind, while occasionally focusing on the lives and struggles of his schoolmates and family. Punpun and the members of his family are normal humans, but are depicted to the reader in the form of crudely drawn birds. The manga explores themes such as depression, love, social isolation, sex, death, and family. De nuevo, la genialidad de Asano está presente en todos los capítulos. Las fabulosas abstracciones, como esa escena de Tsubasa o Kudasai o la del hospital, siempre me pillan desprevenido, pero el autor logra que, desde el nivel más básico, la obra funcione de lujo. Que la violencia doméstica y la soledad de Punpun se traten desde diseños infantilizados provoca un contraste que muchas veces cuesta digerir, y está claro que Asano sabía a lo que iba. Además de plantar numerosas semillas que se recogerán en posteriores tomos (signo de un autor que tiene planeados varios años de su historia), cada nueva escena con Punpun cumple un prop��sito narrativo: moldear la persona que se encuentra tras ese pollo deformado y mostrar los pequeños cambios que ya desde pequeños afectan a la psique de cada uno de nosotros. Es cierto que en ocasiones se fuerzan un poco algunas situaciones (lo del vídeo y la fábrica sería una de esas casualidades), pero Asano logra llevarme orgánicamente de un punto a otro y permite que se lo perdone sin problemas. So Punpun is this ghost looking creature. His whole family actually looks like these things. However, everyone in the world is normal looking humans. It's not said if everyone else sees Punpun and his family different but I doubt it since they all act normal around them. So this is mostly in Punpun's head, and let me tell you...This is not a kids story despite 90% of it being about kids. Kids go through some crazy shit. After the first chapter ends with someone ending up in the hospital we get to see Punpun's life change by meeting a girl, exploring sex stuff with his buddies, and learning about life problems getting older. The absolute best aspect of Goodnight Punpun is its fantastic, rich character work. Inio Asano is a master craftsman when it comes to his characters, making them all feel like living, breathing three-dimensional human beings. Punpun himself is the most developed of everyone in the story so far and is also easily the most memorable. He’s never shown talking — instead, Asano lets odd bits of narration express what he’s thinking or fits of body language (like nodding and shivering). The character feels relatable very early on, with him suffering from fears, worries, and problems a lot of us have had in our past: trouble at home, freaking out about changes with one’s body, experiencing love for the first time, worrying about letting people down, trying to act tough around friends despite internal problems and worries, and wondering what exactly sex is. I find a bunch of these things, personally at least, rather relatable to things from my past or things my friends brought up in grade school.Punpun is about an innocent pigeon boy (in a class of human students) learning about the bees and the birds, life, and whatever else there is to know. How he remained so innocent in this world is anybody's guess. Recommended to pretty much everybody who's looking for a moving, first-class coming of age story. As long as you don't mind a side of straight-up weird to go along with it.

After I've read this book, I couldn't help but search for books that are similar to it, so I read books created by the same author. Book after book (or manga after manga rather) I was faced with nothing but disappointment. Not a single one of those books came close to even half as good as Oyasumi Punpun. Ahora, por primera vez, me enfrento a su serie más larga (12 tomos) por lo que el miedo a la decepción está ahí, agazapado junto con las ganas de que esto salga bien. Y lo cierto es que no puedo estar más contento con este primer número de Buenas noches, Punpun. El planteamiento visual y narrativo es maravilloso. Las cotas de dureza y surrealismo humorístico se dan paso constantemente, y como lector uno nunca sabe qué pensar, qué sentimiento es el correcto ante cada escena. Punpun Punyama is a normal elementary school kid. He has a group of friends he hangs out with, has some big dreams, is getting more curious about the world (wants to find some porn as well), and there’s a girl he’s crushing on. This is his weird, surreal, melancholy story… of the time he was in elementary school. The Initial ImpressionWant to take our relationship to the next level?

Asano created the acclaimed manga Solanin which was released as a feature film in Japan in April 2010, starring Aoi Miyazaki. He is known for his character driven, realist stories that range from slice of life stories to psychological horror. In 2001 he won the first prize in the GX competition for young manga artists. U prvom broju pratimo Punpuna kako ide u školu, ima simpatiju i želi da zbog nje promeni svet. Ujak mu postaje privremeni staratelj usled nemilih porodičnih događaja. Absolutely insane. I binge read this last summer during the beginning of a new era for myself, and since then I have not stopped thinking about PunPun. It really provoked me to think about how many different ways I could've ended up being like, and just how one certain person can dictate your life and your choices. PunPun is a result of his environment. The difficult part of this book is pondering whether or not you feel bad for him, thus forcing you to think about the choices you've made in your own life, the people you surround yourself with.
