Buonanotte, Punpun, Vol. 5

The way Punpun is depicted as a simplistic bird-like figure is so striking. I wonder how much thought went into his design to convey his inner struggles.

The story delves deep into introspection and pain, but I found myself wondering if this slow pace was intentional to reflect Punpun's mental state.

Inio Asano's approach feels so personal and unflinching. I'm curious about what motivated him to tell this story in this way and what he hoped readers would take away.
