Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 1 (1)

Perfect spine, perfect print and everything! If I had to, would order again. (Onto get the rest of the set now!)

It caught me a little off guard with the sudden nudity but besides that it’s a good book I highly recommend 🥰

Despite this book being graphic and having tons of realistic topics, I really did enjoy it. Inio Asano’s work is so inspiring and I would love to collect more of his books.

came in perfect condition and sealed

(Edit: Yes, I am aware there are 7 omnibus volumes. I had wrongly assumed it was going to be 3, like with many other combined series. My bad.)I'm a bit disappointed that people are writing reviews on the quality of the physical book and how it's an omnibus when I pre-ordered 2 months before it's release date and it hasn't gotten to me yet. Regardless, I can review this since I have already read it online. Among Suicide Island, Doubt, and Uzumaki, I rate this one of my favorite manga of all time. It is perfect the way it is, and I genuinely hope it isn't adapted into an anime.This story is of Punpun Punyama. His mother is hospitalized after his father is jailed for domestic abuse, and young Punpun is forced to live with his freeter uncle. This graphic novels depicts the relationships he makes with his classmates, specifically a young girl named Ayako. Punpun has a strange way of thinking, even for a child, and this book is like stepping inside his mind. He is a very detailed person and is far from lacking character depth.This is just a more specific blurb, or even just a revised blurb. I can not recommend this book more. I look forward to purchasing the other 2 volumes.Please note that this series of 13 volumes is compiled into 3 omnibus volumes for the English adaption.

definitely in my top 5 mangas

At least, that's how I felt when i was done reading the series. This book is considered to be one of the best manga yet, but i believe that a lot of the reviews are biased. Most people who buy these books, as well as myself, know what they are getting into. I believe that is why this book has such a high rating. but i think for the majority of the people out there without any bias, they would not like this book. It is THE darkest book I have ever read. and I love to read tragic manga.If you like philosophy, psychology, a complex story, and especially tragedy. i highly recommend reading this story. if you don't like any of those, you will most likely not enjoy. every time you finish reading a volume, you will feel emptiness. and that's something a lot of people don't like feeling after spending some time reading. I have read my fair share of tragedies, but this one really took a toll on me. I was in utter shock at how far the author took it in terms of creating such a setting of emotions and despair. I have even discussed the book with fellow manga readers, and a lot of them were not able to finish the series and i believe that is something important to mention when deciding to purchase these books.Negative thoughts aside, I thought the story was beautifully executed. the thing with manga is that a lot of authors like to take events to the extreme and they give you a lot exaggerated emotions and actions in an instant which I don't particularly dislike but it does give off a more unrealistic setting. this author slowly incorporated events and situations that slowly but effectively sets the mood and setting. the events that took place in the book could be described as random yet completely possible, events happened that you would not expect to happen but can completely happen in the real world. crazy and random, but everything is still tied to the focus of the book.another thing I liked is the beautiful art. some of these panels can hold so much emotion and feelings. I took photos of some of the pages so i can go back to some scanned copies online and save them. that's another thing i like about it. when you read a simple novel, you sort of have to create an image of the characters as well as the setting, but in manga, the illustrator does that for you. seeing the emotions on the characters faces and it shows you the setting as how the author imagined it. A picture can say a thousand words. that said, something I did not enjoy as much is that the main characters, such as Punpun, are portrayed by a vague representation. I love to see facial expressions, and that's something that was not applied to the main characters. However, It is understandable as Punpun was able to represent, various alter egos that would heavily influence the setting and mood I still feel "iffy" about it.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.but beware, you will only feel empty, after reading this book.10/10 book8/10 story (at least for me)
