Inio Asano - Oyasumi Punpun (Goodnight Punpun) Omnibus Manga

Goodnight Punpun is a dark, coming-of-age drama that follows Punpun Onodera, a young boy depicted as a simple bird-like caricature, from his elementary school years into his early twenties. His life takes a traumatic turn when his father is arrested for domestic abuse, forcing him to grow up in a dysfunctional household while navigating the surmounting difficulties of adolescence and social isolation. The story traces Punpun’s steady psychological decline as he grapples with an obsessive, childhood promise to a girl named Aiko Tanaka, leading him down a destructive path of depression and nihilism. Set against a hyper-realistic world, the manga explores the painful reality of broken dreams and the irreversible nature of trauma, contrasting Punpun's internal chaos with a society that continues on regardless of his suffering.
