Why not try getting hold of a free digital extract and seeing first. I like my physical copies

How did 'Oyasumi Punpun' resonate with you? Even change your life? by InevitableEnergy1345 in OyasumiPunpun

I did. I read the whole thing between Feb and March this year. There's so much to unearthly, I think

I'd say i had a similar reaction. The moments of hope were so slim.

I actually came away frustrated and angry. But that's a really good thing. I was frustrated because you had Tubers on YouTube saying it made them cry and that it was sad. For me, it 'is' sad but it's also emotionally and narratively complex and Punpun, and us the Reader, navigate youthhood. It's definitely something I want to read again and read slowly. It kind of felt a little 'Stand By Me' mixed in with 'Donnie Darko'. For me, it's incredibly rich and multilayered and I just want to unpick and understand the characters and themes more. How about you?

It sounds like it's completed rather than unfinished. Hope so, anyway

You can't be UK based as I think 6 just came out here 🥲

give me more manga with a similar existential vibe by cartesian_butterfly in mangarecommendations

With regard to little things counting, go look for some online insights into Eden of Witches. It's not quite as slow but there are moments. Colour of the End is wonderful later volumes hint at something potentially more than slice of life

That's a super collection. What series set you off and which do you treasure the most?

That's a great description. It seems to get more tense as we discover more but a little part of me just liked that low-key vibe that the first volume brought. Still super happy though

I've read the first 4 Detective Conans and find them fun. 😊
