~~~Oyasumi Punpun
This is my first review, so bear with me here lol. Have you ever wondered "What's the meaning to life?" or just felt like ending it all one day? Well, I've been there too, and honestly I still have days where I feel that way, but these two stories have really changed the way I look at life now. Oyasumi Punpun is a very, very dark manga. One I wouldn't necessarily recommend to someone who's facing a hard time in life. But despite how dark Punpun may be, it can be life changing for some people. When we look at the character Punpun, we notice he has no body structure. He's not like your normal full drawn, anime boy if that's the correct term to use here, but you get what I mean. This is one of the manga's strongest points in my opinion. At first glance it looks silly, but I personally think this shows irony in the story. You never expect a story with a silly looking bird to be so..dark. I don't know about anyone else, but when I read Punpun, I imagined myself as Punpun. What I mean when I say this is that I basically replaced Punpun and added myself into the story as the MC. Now, I feel like this the way to go when reading this story if you want to get the full impact on it and truly understand why it's so good and well respected in the Manga/Anime community. As the story progresses, it feels like you're walking in Punpun's shoes, like you're going through the same problems as him. What make's this so impactful is watching what you could've become if you looked at life the way he did, or if you went through the same things he did. Not necessarily exactly like Punpun, but you could end up in a darker situation than you were originally in. Another one of it's strong points is it's amazing art. You could honestly spend a good minute just amazed at how good the art for Punpun is. It's honestly one of the best art styles i've seen in a long time. Punpun's characters also have amazing backstory to them that makes you be able to understand why they act the way they do. From Punpun, Aiko, Pegasus, even Seki. Out of 10 points, I'd easily give this a 10/10. I truly believe anyone can have a deep connection for this manga. The only downside to it is that the stuff it goes over is so dark that it may be impossible to reread.
