You are really fucking stupid if you think Punpun it's pretentious. It's as genuine as it gets. One of the few mangas as good as a great novel.

> Ennemis publics (2008, Flammarion, transl. as Public Enemies: Dueling Writers Take on Each Other and the World, 2011), an exchange by e-mail between Michel Houellebecq and Bernard-Henri Lévy

It is turbo cringe.

The perfect example of a "dialog" in which each speaker just waits for the other to finish, to then show off how intellectual he is.
All references to the previous letter are pure token.

I hate Houellebecq so much.
The jew guy he talks to is not one iota better.
