A dark coming-of-age tale where slice-of-life slices back.
This is Punpun Onodera s 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 don t.
Punpun has finally reunited with the love of his life, Aiko!
But she isn t as exciting and wonderful as he remembered.
And she doesn t make him exciting and wonderful.
In fact, he thinks they re both terribly banal.
And now they ve done something terrible....
Punpun, what do you do when there s no way out?"
