Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 3

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.   

Like most kids his age, Punpun is in high school.   

In fact, he has made it into the best high school in town.   

He is such a good student.   

He studies so he doesn’t have to think about his life.   

Maybe a meteor will crash into Earth and destroy everything.   

A guy can wish, Punpun…
