Panku Ponk

A short-lived but charming oddity from Studio Ironcat, Panku Ponk (1999–2000) is a six-issue manga series written and illustrated by Haruko Tachiiri. The story follows a young girl and her magical penguin companion through a series of gentle, whimsical adventures. Tachiiri's solo creative vision gives the book a consistent, personal feel, making it a quiet gem for fans of late-90s translated manga.
