Punpun’s high school years start in an awful and traumatic way. I still do not understand why

Midori raped him. I get that she was hung up about Punpun’s uncle cheating on her, and she admitted to wanting to get back at him. But for her to actually go through with it

seemed really out of character, or just done for shock value. I think a similar effect could have been created even if she had stopped herself. That event basically wrecks

Punpun’s mental health; he becomes much more depressed and self-serving than before. There’s also no consequences for Midori, which was infuriating.

The highlights in this volume for me included Seki and Shimizu’s unique friendship, Kanie’s existence (such a sweet girl), and the reappearance of

Harumi

in Mama Punpun’s arc. Mama Punpun’s backstory was so interesting and did a good job at showing her redeeming qualities.

This one was dark... I knew it was going this way but woah.

Thai is a rabbit hole and I'm well and truly in it. 

Off to Omnibus 4 (v7/8)

It tried getting better and then we got hid with an on screen rape. And the writer really clumsily tried to make the mother a good character or at least complicated and kinda failed. Listen, I do not really have a clue, our main character is disgusting and there is nothing to really do about it except hope that he grows out of it.

Notes:

Marriage advice: When your wife is clearly in an emotional distress - throw a microwave at her head.

It was her mailing lettes? But like, it does not really matter?
