Suddenly, Punpun understood. "That's it. I'll study outer space. I'll get real smart and be a space scientist. Then I'll make it so mankind can coloinize the stars!

Asano described the young Punpun as a fundamentalist, which leads to his regrets and dislike of gray areas later. Asano also ascribed these characteristics to the other characters: "The main characters in Punpun always remain children in the way their purity leads them to fail and become social misfits." At end of the manga, Asano was originally going to make Punpun die while saving a child of a friend, but he felt that it was too "clean" of an ending. He continued the theme of nothing going right for Punpun by making him live and by denying Punpun solitude after Aiko's death by pairing him up with Sachi. In the final chapter, Punpun's experiences are contrasted with those of his childhood friend Harumi to show Punpun from the perspective of a normal person. Harumi sees Punpun surrounded by friends, but in reality nothing went right for him, further emphasizing the theme of failure. [4]Punpun's crush, Miyo, transfers out of his elementary class, but a girl named Aiko transfers in, and it is love at first sight for Punpun. He walks her home, and she tells him that soon humanity will go extinct and they'll have to colonize other stars. His dad gives him a telescope that night, and Punpun decides he wants to be a space scientist. Then he wakes up in the morning to find the house a mess and his father standing over his beaten mother.
