What the hell did I just read?
I've been loving this series, but I didn't expect it to get so completely hopeless. This volume had me hooked until the very end, and I'm hoping Punpun can sort some problems out in the final volume.
I'm not entirely sure he can...
Amazing series. The art blows me away every time, and the characters are all so charming (except maybe our titular Punpun in this very volume...). Even the weird cult guys have my interest.

"I adore you so much I want to bite your tongue off and kill you."
This one got super dark, super quick. The first few chapters left my jaw hanging open; the grittiness of Asano is one of my favorite aspects of him, but this was so unexpected that it really did give me quite a shock.
I really couldn't put it down. This was probably the best volume thus far.

God I’m so tired. This series dries you right up. Unbelievable how hopeless it is. One more volume. That being said, any work that can draw this reaction is good in my books.

I need to go back to the previous volume, to the moment where Punpun had to choose between being with Aiko or meeting with Sachi. In the end, he chose his long-time love, a decision that set the direction of his life.
This volume began with a couple of bombastic chapters that I could not have foreseen. Punpun snapped, and his demons are now loose. Once the gates are opened for the water to rush through, it's much harder to close them again.
It was painful to watch Punpun's descent into hell. The one person who should have been his light in the dark turned out to be the gasoline to his fire. Sometimes, what we most desire is exactly what leads to our doom.
There is a lot to learn from this.
I want to stay positive and hope for a good ending, but I don't see it coming. We'll see. Maybe I'll be surprised.
Regardless, this series has been a fantastic journey, and I'm blessed to have had the opportunity to experience it.
Even if Punpun finds his doom, I know he'll save a lot of people out there.

Mình đã nghĩ Vol.5 đã "dark", nhưng không! Đó chỉ mới là khỏi đầu. Vol.6 đầy bạo lực, tình dục, cực kỳ tăm tối. Với những nét vẽ hoàn toàn tuyệt vời thì Inio Asano tạo nên sự nặng nề rất rõ ràng ở Vol.6.
Cách mà Punpun liên tục thay dổi hình dạng vẫn được giữ và tạo nên sự phức tạp đó. Mình hoàn toàn hả hê với việc "giết", nhưng nó có tốt không? Punpun và Aiko mãi bám lấy nhau để bước tiếp, mình cảm thấy trống rỗng và phức tạp mỗi khi đọc đến đoạn của Punpun và Aiko.
Thoáng lên một nỗi buồn đầy mạnh mẽ với những ký ức giờ đã phai nhạt. Câu chuyện giáo phái Peagacus "khai sáng" mình đến với những thứ thật lạ, lẫn đồng cảm.

a masterwork in progress. the highest quality of fiction available. completely devastating work. soul crushing. it stares back into you judging your flaws and shrugging its shoulders in hopeless disinterest.

True love is forcing your girlfriend to stab your eye out with a fork in a very public diner and then calling her awful names when she doesn’t do a clean job of it.
(I have to admire Asano for turning his shy, likable protagonist into the irredeemably scummy villain of his own story, though.)

Reading this series is like having someone slowly crumble away pieces of your heart.

Well this one just hurt.
I was not expecting it to get that dark and that hopeless.
I think Seki is my favorite chacaracter, I just want him to be happy so badly.
I feel like this series will leave a whole in my chest once i finisht reading it.

slow in the beginning, the pegasus cult is totally unneeded, but finally ramping up with the drama. this series is def not for you if you're not into slow burns

Most of my criticisms of book 5 also apply here. This book REALLY pushes the boundaries of the readers engagement and sympathy. There's more Pegasus Collective that I now usually brush over as they just repeat the same inane philosophy. I'm not sure if these segments are really meant to be serious, or some comedic relief, or what. They just seem scatterbrained, uninteresting, and fairly generic hippie nonsense.
In addition Punpun straight up becomes a very bad person. He's miserable, he's rude, he assaults Aiko again, he murders someone, then attacks a stranger, is just a complete asshole all the time. It's certainly interesting to take your unlikable protaganist and make him even worse. I continue to find the story interesting, and the characters engaging, but not as much as the first 4 books.
I find myself overall liking the manga less and less over the last 2 books. It continues to be more and more miserable, outlandish and strange - without any of the lighter balance. The earlier books had a lovely balance of pain with small moments of pleasure or nostalgia. It's always been a painful and awkward journey, but these last two books are really a slog through misery. I still respect and admire what it's doing, it's bold choices, it's strangeness. And although I respect it still the same, I think I enjoy it a little less. Let's see what the finale brings. Probably more pain.

I- someone please stop me from tormenting myself with this story (っ◞‸◟ c) my poor precious Sachi, Seki, and Shimizu. I wish for nothing more than to give everyone a hug. An everlasting hug and some reassurance. Inio Asano WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I would like to give this a 10, but the Pegasus bullshit is so annoying it’s unbelievable. He has Pegasus monologue for 20 panels, saying the exact same shit EVERY SINGLE TIME, and think it’s peak fiction or something. Asano has to be trolling, right? Anyways, the Punpun-Aiko portion is by far the best content so far. Incredible stuff, but I just can’t justify 5 stars with Pegasus ruining the tone every five seconds. Other than that, absolutely enthralling, shocking, and devastating. Edit: I’ve thought more about it, and I just hate the entire Pegasus side plot, with both its manifest and latent content and overall nature of it. It’s distracting and it completely kills the tone, dulling the blade of intense emotional moments and the beautifully warped state of mind they create. So I’ll drop this do a light 9. Overall, Punpun as a whole sits as a light 9. If it pulls it together, maybe it’ll get the golden 5 stars with a decent to strong 9. Pegasus prevents a 10.

That was one of the most messed up books I have ever read in my life. Literally.
At this point I’m really hoping Pegasus’s prediction is correct and the world just goes ahead and ends on July 7th because I can’t see any other way out of this!
This installment sealed the deal for me. It is by far and away the best volume to this point. Everyone who can handle a jacked up, morbid, life altering manga like this needs to read it.

in this sixth volume of goodnight punpun, he’s finally reunited with aiko, though she is much different than he remembers. this series definitely gets darker with each book. the main conflict in this volume was not something i expected going in, though i can’t say it was too surprising. punpun and aiko’s relationship developed in such an interesting way after this. i especially liked the side plots with sachi, seki, and shimizu. the cult stuff was a bit unclear to me, but i read an interview with the author that helped me understand a bit better. overall, this was probably one of the better volumes!

And I'm speechless , nothing to say . I think in the next Vol. , we say Goodnight Punpun

Ngl shimizu is the only character in this entire series that deserves happiness. But on the other hand, Aiko deserves MUCH better ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀)

Wow, this got very, very dark. I couldn't stop comparing it to The End of the F***ing World, only without any comedic elements to lighten the tone. I've been reading this while also watching Monster (the anime, not the movie). My dreams have been a mess.

i need therapy after this smh

Punpun fully embraces his hatred and disgust with the world (which is certainly directly tied to his own hate and disgust for himself). He and Aiko kill Aiko’s abusive cult member mother in a brutal moment and it kind of lights the fuse for Punpun to fully embrace the fuck the world attitude, he picks fights, he doesn’t think before acting and he just gives up on seeing the goodness of the world. It makes me very upset to see him become so dark, the illustrations work so well in their simplicity.
Aiko reminds me of someone I used to know, which is funny in its own way.
The Pegasus cult is being led by the second member, the guy who looks like a motorcyclist. He actually may be god or at least a higher being, while the leader (Pegasus) is being unknowingly led to destroy the world.
This series is amazing but extremely depressing. I want Punpun to find happiness and find LIFE, he’s choosing death and destruction over any sense of being good or happy. Here comes the finale.

De todos los momentos de este volumen, me quedó con una pequeña luz. No quiero contar la trama; lo que puedo decir es que se trata de un solo instante de ternura y amor en medio de un vórtice de emociones negativas. ¿Quién eres, Punpun? Esa fue la pregunta que me hice mientras leía cada capítulo.

A good addition, although the bleak relationship of Pun pun and his mom deeply hurts. I understand how it feels to be part of a broken family.
