Hey there, first time posting here.
Just finished reading this.
Is it normal to love the first 4/5ths of the story but the last bit seemed meh?
>>
>>282994121
Yes
>>
>>282994121
The first third is pun pun being relatable and lovable idiot
The middle is pun pun suffering the life of a neet
the last stretch is pun pun being unrealistic and going batshit crazy
obviously there's more to it but that's how it feels
>>
>>282994121
No one cares newfag, pun pun is dogshit anyways. Kill yourself.

little (You) know that some of the last 4-8 seasons anime is so worthless that your time woul be better invested in winnie the pooh. We had got shitty stories, sci fi series that doesnt grast the basic concepts of the technology they are using as a base for the story, animation so cheap that rivals with that of some hentai... That being said, there are jewels here and there

Anon, you can keep samefagging the thread trying to save it but you really need to consider killing yourself if this is all you do shilling a dead manga.

is not a coherent thought. The timeframe is what? You fail at basic grammar.
>>
shut the fuck up you faggots. Discuss the story

>>282996211
The timeframe since this post aka beginning from that post until the next post, are you retarded anon? Absolute ESL, definitely a brown anon. I'm betting either SEApag or Spic

>>282996221
Why would we torture ourselves like that?
>>
>>282994121
The last bit needed re-reading for me. I kind of got it at first, but half the time I kept looking at punpun and Aiko like "Why are they doing that" and why they were being so toxic to each other.
Also why Aiko killed herself

Looking back though, its a decent culmination of all the bullshit they've gone through. The two wanting to treat each other like the childhood friends they were but the ocean of hardships they both suffered growing up stopping that.
Both of them are constantly skeptical of one another. Aiko literally asking if PunPun will kill her. Punpun angry Aiko isn't as cold as he is when Aiko refused to stab him with the fork, etc.

Punpun stabbing himself in the eye still feels a bit retarded though. That and how it's never addressed how he doesn't go to jail for Aiko's death.

>the timeframe it's been since this post
is not a complete clause. You suck at grammar. Also, that's not even what the timeframe since this post means. That means the time beginning from that post until now, not the next post. Learn English. The time between that post and the next one >>282995803 is less than 10 minutes. Are you retarded enough that you think anyone would believe the thread would drop to page 10 in that time?

>>282996253
Maybe I'll have to read it again, I get how its a nice climax for both characters as we see their motivations and degradation but it still feels like it goes too far in some sense, like it doesnt belong with the rest of the story.
I am also a retard when it comes to manga so maybe I am just making shit up.

Note I haven't read it in a while. But here's my summary of why punpun and Aiko had rose tinted glasses of each other due to their childhoods, but that slowly breaks down while they are together

>Punpun is a plucky retard at a young age
>Aiko is a girl who wants punpun to be her friend and get away from her abusive mother
>The two separate
>Aiko's life is hell, but we don't see most of it. She grows up "normal" but its clear her mom gets more and more overbearing given the mom pretends she can't walk when we meet her but then clearly stands up to attack aiko later

>Punpun meanwhile, we see his life in detail
>He gets taken advantage of
>He becomes a sexual degenerate himself
>He's mostly a loner
>He's still retarded, but his life experience is being unable to trust anybody. Even his own mother faked his father's letters to him.

>Punpun has this obsession with Aiko. Basically as long as he is with her, everything is okay.
>This is delusional, of course.

>Punpun and Aiko finally decide to live out that dream of leaving together.
>Aiko's mother incident happens
>They're going to be wanted fugitives
>But as long as they have each other, right?
>Punpun, due to his bad life experience, is no longer a plucky retard. He's a hateful, super serious dude that is taking their lives as fugitives seriously
>Aiko, due to her life experience of living with an abuser, sees Punpun may be another abuser, and no longer the plucky retard she loved.
>Punpun shows his seriousness by allowing Aiko to stab him with a fork
>Aiko hesitates and refuses, causing punpun to think she's not taking their lives seriously
>Aiko meanwhile asks if punpun will kill her, and says stuff like "Thats what my mother would say", showing she's paranoid he's an abuser.

>Despite this, the two of them share that moment on the beach where punpun's character returns to bird form instead of demon form
>He goes back to demon shortly after
>Aiko's last hope for a free life is dashed
>The end occurs
>>
>>282994121
Anon got raped by /a/, deserved.
>>
>>282996516
Really nice breakdown, helps to visualize it better.
But what happened with Punpun's great "turning situations around and playing it cool" skills?
What a dropped plotpoint
>>
>>282995311
I've found that Solanin is good even after the crash, ehy didn't you like it? The ending is quite good.
>>
>>282996713
I will shit up the thread with you and other anons, remember to sage. Anyways MODS=GODS. punpun=kuso.
>>
>>282996732
Can't really play cool being wanted for murder can you?
Also, noticable detail. When punpun is on the run with Aiko, his demon form has big horns on either side of them. He sees himself as the murderer.
As he spends time with Aiko, and Aiko tells him that she was the one who finished her mother off, his horns get smaller and smaller.
towards the end, he has a round head. Yet he still offers to take the fall for her. So Maybe he was turning it around and went from murderer to protector of aiko in a twisted way. But Aiko didn't see it fast enough to avoid her end.
>>
>>282996258
I don't know if the anon is larping but punpun threads are an automatic rape kek.

Anituber shill manga, kys.

>>282996779
The people who like punpun are always ironic weeb teenagers from X who hate otaku culture and want japan to die, so it’s normal that punpun doesn’t have a good reputation here.
>>
>>282997208
>ironic weeb teenagers from X who hate otaku culture and want japan to die
Impossible. Punpun has multiple instances of rape in it. Anything that involves SA (Because zoomer/alpha teens are too scared to say rape) automatically gets downvotes.
They hate goblin slaying solely because of episode one. And they're the main pushers against fanservice shows.
>>
>>282997257
Punpun had a similar odd explosion on tiktok like Lain did, yes most series with rape or heavy fan service will be considered to degenerate for normalfags but sometimes this happens like in punpun's case.
>How do I know this? My 16 year old nephew who only watches shonen anime one day asked me about punpun and showed me a few tiktoks
It's rare that something like this happens to a series that normalfags would usually hate but it happens (rarely).
>>
>>282997257
>>282997360
It’s mostly girls who like it for the aesthetics and don’t know where it’s from, or know but don’t want to read it.
Saya no Uta and Subahibi are popular with zoomers, and both are rapefests with loli porn.
>>
>>282997415
Actually a lot of zoomers recently have been shitting on subahibi because apparently they realized the dog scene exists.
>>
>>282997441
they are posers who like it for the aesthetics, they don’t care about the work itself. very sad.
>>
>>282997441
How do people like something, make it their whole personality and never even fucking read it, wtf.
>>
>>282996734
It's definitely not an awful misery-fest like Punpun, but the second half of Solanin has an air of melancholy that the story doesn't really seem to shake despite the characters being cheerful and trying to move past the tragedy. It's kind of hard to describe, but the sense of loss and emptyness hangs around until the very end. Perhaps that's the point of the story and Asano's intention, but it's not something to be read for a good time.
