"True happiness only lasts for a brief ti…" — Yuichi Onodera Quote

"Such shallow emotions evoked by simple and cheerful stories won't solve anything! What people need is a more tangible sense of values with which to resolve the conflicts of everyday life! Even if that causes others to think of you as warped, as long as you can remain true to yourself until the moment you die"

"What do you think are the most important things in life? Money, dreams, sympathy towards others... Yes, they're all important things as well... But the most important thing is responsibility for your own actions."

— Yuichi Onodera · Oyasumi Punpun

"But once you grow old, you become afraid of even losing things without any value."

"I despise myself... because others are too kind to me..."

"Even the hardest of things can shatter when one little crack appears."

— Sachi Nanjou · Oyasumi Punpun

"I always believed that everyone in this world was far nicer and smarter than me. That no matter how unlikeable they seemed to be, they still had a good conscience and had justifiable circumstances for acting the way they did. That’s why I hated myself for being so timid and depressed when I didn’t even have any good reason for doing so. …But now I see that there actually are people who’re despicable in every way and don’t blink twice at ruining another’s life. Now that I think about it, it’s almost strange. Why don’t most people try to kill other people? How can they just stand by and let the scum have their way without the slightest indifference? Maybe my expectations were too high. I’m only disappointed because I expected something from them. But the answer was quite simple all along. There’s no such thing as a decent human being in this world. Not a single one. I did what I had to do. And I feel quite refreshed after doing it. That’s why I can say that this world could afford to be a little more chaotic."
