It's almost too easy to call Goodnight Punpun a slice-of-life story or a coming of age manga. Although it is both of those things, it's also a bit of a fantasy, albeit a fairly mundane one. Aiko Tanaka transfers into Punpun Punyama's elementary school class and they come to like each other. At home, Punpun walks into what looks like the aftermath of his father abusing his mother. While she stays in the hospital and his father separately, her brother Yuichi Onodera comes to live with Punpun. Punpun also learns that Aiko's mother sells miracle water and he makes a promise with Aiko to take her away to her uncle in Kagoshima. Punpun and his friends watch a porn cassette and stumble upon a taped-over confession from a man who has murdered his family, requesting that they locate the bodies and an award. Punpun and his friends, along with Aiko, visit the abandoned miso factory mentioned in the video. Punpun and Aiko visit Aiko's mother to announce to her that Aiko is leaving, but she reacts by stabbing Aiko's side with a knife. Trying to save her, Punpun fights Aiko's mother, and ends up strangling her to death, killing her on purpose. The two bury the body in the forest and leave the town to flee from the police, deciding to go to Kagoshima like they had promised each other when they were children. As they travel, they grow more hostile and resentful toward each other and become more depressed. As Aiko's injury worsens, she tries to puncture Punpun's eye with a fork, but only ends up giving him a minor injury. Meanwhile, Sachi becomes worried about Punpun's absence and starts searching for him. Beveridge, Chris (March 2016). "Viz Media Talks 'Goodnight Punpun' Manga Release". The Fandom Post.

Punpun and Aiko's relationship and injuries worsen more and more as they both display suicidal behavior. After Punpun comes close to killing a stranger for no real reason, the duo arrives in Kagoshima and decide to go to the nearby island Tanegashima. Once there, after an innocent evening spent having fun, Punpun decides to strangle Aiko to death with a rope before killing himself, but she talks him out of it, while also confessing that she is in fact the one who killed her mother, having stabbed her to death after noticing that she was still alive after her fight with Punpun. Meanwhile, Sachi keeps on searching Punpun by meeting with his friends and family. Ressler, Karen (May 2, 2017).

During these last few volumes the author abandoned his initial artistic decision of depicting the adults as complete lunatics; if you read the first volume after reaching this far, the gap should feel pretty wide. However, it doesn't feel so much a transition as a "that was a horrible idea, let's ditch it". I'm on board with it, of course, but I wonder how many people read the first few chapters and like I did some time ago said, "yeah, this isn't for me". Too bad, because it's a really great series.

Es básicamente el ejemplo de una persona que se la ha pasado viviendo en una posición de un outsider moral / emocional (alguien que no encaja con lo que los demás consideran los valores y sentimientos predominantes: la familia, el cariño incondicional, el amor hipócrita, la sumisión, la obligación de callarte siempre lo que piensas), cuyo entorno, al no seguir su escala de valores, la ha tachado de manera despiadada como una persona sin corazón. Pero nada más lejos de la realidad. De nuevo, Asano entra en la valoración excelente. Como ya venía diciendo en el tomo anterior, poco debía tardar el autor en introducirse en la psique de la madre para hacerla un personaje real. Casi dedica la totalidad del volumen a sus dilemas internos, creando paralelismos con Punpun y choques entre sus formas de experimentar el mundo, en especial la parte romántica. Al cambio, la madre deja a un lado el esencialismo (como figura abusiva) y de nos muestran todas sus aristas. Como siempre en la familia Onodera, esta también lidia con la depresión y la consecuente sensación de no encajar en la sociedad moderna. Sounds familiar? You can't find anything 'wrong' with the person, yet you don't seem to be comfortable with them? Asano described the young Punpun as a fundamentalist, which leads to his regrets and dislike of gray areas later. Asano also ascribed these characteristics to the other characters: "The main characters in Punpun always remain children in the way their purity leads them to fail and become social misfits." At end of the manga, Asano was originally going to make Punpun die while saving a child of a friend, but he felt that it was too "clean" of an ending. He continued the theme of nothing going right for Punpun by making him live and by denying Punpun solitude after Aiko's death by pairing him up with Sachi. In the final chapter, Punpun's experiences are contrasted with those of his childhood friend Harumi to show Punpun from the perspective of a normal person. Harumi sees Punpun surrounded by friends, but in reality nothing went right for him, further emphasizing the theme of failure. [4] Gute Nacht, Punpun, Band 1". Tokyopop (in German).
