4.5 indescribable a review doesn’t do justice the characters are superb I connect to them there a character for everyone it feels real like real real sometimes you just get lost and with the scene of the uncle that felt so real like I watching I felt like I could do something but I couldn’t it nearly brought me tears. JUST READ IT!

"Punpun even felt a kind of self-righteous anger at himself, because he couldn´t manage to do anything but stress out, yet he knew that stressing out wouldn´t solve anything
"

Punpun is like me, for real.

My goodness, the characters and artwork are absolutely amazing. I'm pulled in by these horrible situations and thought processes/imaginations of all of them. While nearly all of them have certain flaws I find myself still relating and attaching myself to some. I truly hope you are okay Yuichi.
