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 has finally reunited with the love of his life, Aiko!
But she isnt as exciting and wonderful as he remembered.
And she doesnt make him exciting and wonderful.
In fact, he thinks theyre both terribly banal.
And now theyve done something terrible
Punpun, what do you do when theres no way out
