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.

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.
