Description

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

This is Punpun Onoderas 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 dont.

Punpun is on his own now.

His mom is dead and his dad is useless.

When hes not working crappy part-time jobs, he spends most of his time on the floor of his room.

But buck up, Punpun! Its only for the rest of your life, right
