My god what a story. Oysaumi Punpun has impacted me in ways I didn't think it would. This is a masterpiece. Very rarely do I find stories where the relatable feelings doesn't come off cringe or forced. Feelings are displayed in a subtle yet very direct way. It's quite unexplainable. I fell in love with this manga in two days and finished it. Whoever is reading this, I hope I can influence you to read this classic story.

Story: The story follows Punpun and the hardships that he faces. This includes depression, self-deprecation, first love, heartbreak, sexual frustration and many other things. I personally can relate to all of these and still suffer from a few of these hardships. With that being said I felt as if Inio portrayed all these feelings through Punpun's thoughts. You often hear Punpun's thoughts as he is not very outspoken due to his feelings. This occurs because of the fate that I feel he was destined. Punpun is really just stuck in a cycle that will never end through the majority of the story. Story also follows other characters that are and were in Punpun's life, but they are mainly included to help take a break from Punpun. Not to say they don't matter, because later in the story these characters play a big part. I don't want to spoil anything at all so I will just leave it there. The story is a modern masterpiece of storytelling.

Art: I'm not very picky when it comes to art, but I did notice the art improve throughout the story. There are beautiful background drops and I loved the way the author chose to draw Punpun especially through his mood swings. It might be a bit confusing, but it all comes full circle just trust me.

Characters: My god this is and the story is what makes this story what it is. Punpun as the main character makes you happy, sad, nervous and angry at different points. People tend to be frustrated with Punpun at certain points and yes they make me frustrated, but it's beautiful. That is what makes him human. That is what makes me human. That is what makes YOU human. We all feel this way about someone or in Punpun's mind, himself. He has desires that he is not proud, but we all have guilty thoughts and wants. Now moving on to Aiko the second main character, her story is truly heartbreaking. I will leave it there as I feel so strong about Aiko and her role in the story, and it really tears your heart apart. You can see the changes in how Punpun interacts with other women the way he would Aiko and you see him treat Aiko the way other women treat him. That alone in itself is depressing for a viewer to read. You see his relationship with Sachi and how that unfolds as well. She tries to rebuild Punpun which I think ends up as the worst case scenario for Punpun's future. Seki and Shimizu get wrapped up in everyday life and learn life's lessons along with dealing with a new cult being formed in the city. These characters along with his Uncle, Midori, Punpun's parents and many other characters are fleshed out all through 147 chapters. The characters without a doubt make this what this story is. You'll learn to love, hate and connect with these characters who seem to be real people when reading through this story.

Enjoyment: There is really nothing else to say. I laughed, I cried and was frustrated at points. Frustration as in wanting better for characters, but realizing why they made a certain choice and understanding. I completely enjoyed it as I finished it in just a few days.

Overall: I just think everyone should read this at a certain point. I relate with Punpun and learned some things along the journey. I more than likely will read again. Just perfect. Thanks for reading.
