The story begins as [[Slice of Life]] comedy, following Pung-Pung through his childhood as he deals with his family life, his school life, his social life, and his budding romantic life. While noticeably dark, it also contains a hint of child-like innocence. However, as the series progresses, it develops into an extremely dark [[Coming of Age]] story, with all innocence being wiped away. While the humor remains, it takes a backseat to experiences of Pung-Pung, his family, and his acquaintances as they deal with the hardships of adolescence, adulthood, and life in general. |
