Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 5 (5)

A dark coming-of-age tale where slice-of-life slices back.

This is Punpun Onodera’s coming-of-age story. His parents’ marriage is falling apart. His dad goes to jail and his mom goes to the hospital. He has to live with his loser uncle. He has a crush on a girl who lives in a weird cult. Punpun tries talking with God about his problems, but God is a jerk. Punpun keeps hoping things will get better, but they really, really don’t.

Punpun finally has a plan.

But it gets shattered.

He wants the world to shatter too.

And it does.

How can he live with himself?

Maybe you just need to find a different life, Punpun.
