What punpun and hourou musuko have in common is that they both are about a group of children growing up, and coming of age. I felt like the atmosphere is very similar and the main characters often have their own side dialogue adding to the childhood ambiance. Where they differ, punpun, is a little more deeper (a bit darker), falling on more emotion and the mind of the child, not to mention the art is at times fairly abstract. Another point, the some adults in the story are depicted sometimes strangely, in similarly in charlie brown where the adults don't talk.

Hourou Musuko and Oyasumi Punpun both start of following the story of an awkward primary school kid. The two are coming of age stories where the protagonist(s) have a really hard time coming to term that their carefree days are over. Both manga also have a similar character design, although Punpun's is objectively way better, Wandering Son's pretty impressive. The first volumes may seem kinda lame, but it's really all worth it when you reach their amazing endings.
