Production

Asano announced the manga a year after finishing Solanin. Encouraged by its success, Asano said he was done with "feel-good stories".[4] Despite initial opposition from his editor and publisher, he went through with the manga. Tokie Komuro, the Editor-in-Chief of Monthly Sunday GX, who is a supporter of Asano said that the only reason Asano was able to serialize the manga was because of his good track record and reputation from his earlier works.[5]

I wanted [to] take the readers coming to the book because they thought Punpun was cute, and upset them. (laugh) I wanted to say to the reader, "Here's a different kind of manga. Look at what kind of depths of reality manga can plumb."

Inio Asano[4]

When he initially planned the story, Asano wanted to chronicle Punpun's growth spanning ten years over seven volumes.[5] The first half was supposed to be a romance, and the second half when Punpun and Aiko go on the run similar to a road movie. The manga grew to thirteen volumes because Asano wanted to focus on the art and because many characters developed their own side stories. Asano purposely emphasized elements of the first half like its silliness to increase the shock of the second half. With every dark turn in the manga, sales dropped, which Asano regretted because his readers were being alienated. He also saw his readers as an enemy when he received criticism, which led him to react harshly and cause more backlash. The manga also served as an outlet for Asano's doubts and fears, such as the fear that he might be a victim or perpetrator of murder.[4]

When designing Punpun, Asano wanted to find a balance between making his male protagonist too handsome or too ugly and decided to let readers imagine his face.[5] Asano originally planned to depict all the characters like Punpun's family, but his editor didn't like the idea.[6] Asano utilized photography and computer graphics for the backgrounds of the manga. Outdoor backgrounds were created by taking photographs, converting them to black-and-white, and printing them so his assistants could draw outlines and objects on them. Interiors were created in 3D modeling software, which had the benefit of capturing angles impossible with cameras. When asked why he placed so much emphasis on the backgrounds, Asano said that it allows the drawings to have more impact, especially since characters like Punpun are lacking in dynamism.[5] Asano later came to regret digitally processing his images because he felt he was ruining his pen art.[4]

Themes

Punpun's depiction as a faceless caricature was meant to help readers identify with Punpun and encourage them to keep reading, both when he was depicted as a bird, and in his later forms.[4] Asano also utilized Punpun's simple look for symbolism,[5] like giving him bull horns to represent Altair, the cowherd star, to symbolize his love triangle as the Summer Triangle with Aiko as Vega and Sachi as Deneb.[4]

Asano described the young Punpun as a fundamentalist, which leads to his regrets and dislike of gray areas later. Asano also ascribed these characteristics to the other characters: "The main characters in Punpun always remain children in the way their purity leads them to fail and become social misfits." At end of the manga, Asano was originally going to make Punpun die while saving a child of a friend, but he felt that it was too "clean" of an ending. He continued the theme of nothing going right for Punpun by making him live and by denying Punpun solitude after Aiko's death by pairing him up with Sachi. In the final chapter, Punpun's experiences are contrasted with those of his childhood friend Harumin to show Punpun from the perspective of a normal person. Harumin sees Punpun surrounded by friends, but in reality nothing went right for him, further emphasizing the theme of failure.[4]

In terms of genres, Asano disliked the labeling of the manga as an utsumanga (depressing manga) or surreal, which he felt pigeonholed the manga. Since the manga was serialized in a seinen magazine, Asano created the manga for readers who could accept immorality rather than see the protagonist as a role model.[4]

Release

The manga was serialized in the Japanese manga magazine Weekly Young Sunday and, later, Big Comic Spirits by Shogakukan from March 15, 2007 to November 2, 2013.[7] Shogakukan compiled the 147 chapters into thirteen volumes between August 3, 2007[8] and December 27, 2013.[9] Some of these volumes have been sold as limited special editions with extras like: a phone strap, T-shirt, colored pencil set with figures, and lensless glasses.[10]

In July 2015, Viz Media announced at Otakon that they licensed the manga[11] and would be releasing the manga in seven omnibus volumes,[12] with the first published on March 15, 2016.[13] The final omnibus volume was published September 19, 2017.[14] The manga has also been published in France by Kana,[15] in Italy by Panini Comics,[16] in Germany by Tokyopop,[17] in Taiwan by Taiwan Tohan,[18] in Spain by Norma Editorial,[19] and in Argentina by Editorial Ivrea.[20]

Punpun and Aiko continue their journey, as their depressions and relationship are at their worst. Aiko insists on how happy she is that the two fell in love, but when Punpun wakes up from their nap, he discovers that she committed suicide by hanging herself. Refusing to accept the truth, Punpun carries her body with him, but it is eventually discovered and taken away by locals. He comes back to Tokyo and attempts to kill himself near an old building he, Aiko and their friends visited back in elementary school, but is found by Sachi who saves him and brings him to a hospital. Meanwhile, Pegasus and his cultists commit mass suicide, but Seki rescues an unconscious Kō from the burning building. Although Kō survives, he becomes amnesiac, and doesn't remember who Seki is. A year later, Punpun, whose probation for the death of Aiko's mother just finished, has a normal job, having found relative peace in an unexciting normal life. Harumi, an old friend of Punpun from elementary school, meets him by chance in a street, and after a short, unremarkable discussion, the two part ways. As Punpun, surrounded by the friends he made through those last years, tearfully waves him goodbye, Harumi waves back, knowing that they will likely never meet again. At the school where Harumi teaches, a girl transfers into his class, and a young student falls in love with her at first sight, just like Punpun did with Aiko eleven years before.
