My mental health may be to fragile for this. Plus I'm not interested in soap opera, no matter how dirty the water is.
I'd choose the nerd over the cutie patootie for my date every time.. I don't care if she smokes. I don't care who has the better visual appeal. Self preservation comes first.
Both deserve a shot at happiness but I'm not a therapist. I doubt I could do more than encourage Aiko to leave Punpun and get help. (Which may be more than she's getting now.) I know from experience that getting tangled up in another person's problems doesn't help them but does drag me down. We both lose.
Nope, it sounds like you'll never be inspo for an Asano main character and good for you!! Punpun is a great book for sure - the illustrations alone are God Tier - but the subject matter is gut churning from the intro and I don't look down on ANYONE'S take on the content (unless they're defending the bird and saying the women ruined him). It is a book I think is mostly better read about than read since it is dark.

Does that sound heartless?
