    Two years ago, Summer time.
    I was just been "rejected"... so to speak. I liked this girl online, she knew I liked her for a long time by then. Suddenly she's gone. Disappeared without a track, leaving behind me and everyone in our online social circle. I was devastated. First I was sad, then angry, then super sad... and then numb, and then I was laughing, but I didn't knew WHY I was laughing. I was a mess.
    About that time I was about to leave to spend a week with my grandma, so I downloaded a bunch of stuff to do while I was there. A couple games, a couple movies and a couple manga. I decided to download Oyasumi Punpun... and thank God I did.
    Don't get fooled by the cute little image picture, Oyasumi Punpun is harsh, cruel and dark. It talks about growing up, it talks about obsession, it talks about depression, it talks about you going into that dark place you don't want to be, but that I was in.
    We follow the story of the titular Punpun starting with his elementary school days when he meets the love of his life Aiko, and subsequently loses her because he moves away after his parents divorced. And then life happens. Depression, sex and masturbation, life choices, domestic violence and, of course, love and it's failure is all illustrated here as the various lives around Punpun unfold. A lot of shit just happens because he, or someone else, did the wrong thing, but really, isn't that how we ruin our lives most of the times? Little mistakes here and there.
    And then you start playing what could have beens with girls you don't even see for at least a decade. Maybe SHE was the one? I'll never know, right?
    And then... there she is.
    I read everything there was to read in that week, alone with only my grandma, no other family or friends to annoy me. It was calm.
    When I finished the story I felt like I was cured, I felt a relief inside. I wasn't "cured", I was still sad about everything that had happened. But I had a different look on life... and I felt better, at least.

      Editing … The website I downloaded it was taken down. I think nyaa.se may have it, if you're interested in torrent it. Anyways, most websites like Mangafox or Mangareader have the full manga uploaded to read fully.

    The last volume of this is so depressing, God damn it!
    Yet... it's still one of the best mangas I've ever read. 10/10
