Fantastic volume, where the series really starts to shine. The focus on Punyama Mama (not Punyama anymore lol) was a welcome one and she becomes a very complex and well-developed character.
This is also the start of Punpun's real downfall.

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 volume is a tough one. PunPun is coming of age, starts his pubescent years with a pretty messed up start. His Uncle’s story has some crazy developments but seemingly comes to a positive. PunPun’s Mother’s storyline is kind of heartbreaking. I call it a tough one but the manner that the story is told continues to be addictively readable so I feel solid about the high rating.

The sexual politics in this book is complicated. There’s infidelities and the repercussions of these, there’s an adult and teen sexual encounter, there’s another character that seemingly intends to try to lure a teen into a sexual encounter. There is medical trauma surrounding disease and accidents. One teen attempts to engage in sex with another teen leading to a sexual assault. Be forewarned.

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)
