Goodnight Punpun - Vol. 13 Ch. 147

Man, this definitely is not a bittersweet ending. Its 90% bitter. In the end, Aiko is only remembered in any meaningful way by Punpun and died a miserable death without achieving any of her dreams.
Punpun really wants to die (and be forgotten by everyone, as he says to Aiko in that dream sequence) but is cursed by Aikos last words (about remembering her on Tanabata) so he is forced to live. Live and take responsibility for his actions (as his uncle said) and keep carrying the burden of all he has done for the rest of his life. It’s a completely miserable and meaningless existence that he’s being forced into. Even the friend group and girlfriend he’s acquired (which would be a cute rag tag group of pals in any other manga) is just basically something thats caught him and wont let go. Damn, even the manga based on him that Sachi is making is going against his wish to completely disappear. The rest of this guys life is just a giant L.

Oyasumi, Punpun.
 
oyasumi, punpun- you're a man that life really just fucked up and dragged down.
