Useless Ponko - Vol. 4 Ch. 25 - Dreaming Ponko

Jesus fuck, this manga started out as comfy slice-of-life, and is now more existential and human than I'd ever have expected.
 
I love the contrast between the "It's too quiet." page and the "eh?" page with ponko and the rainbow. Especially the It's too quiet page, that shit is actual art.
 
You know... Living so long with your beloved partner... Is really something after you losing part of you. You keep feeling losing your part and never feel compelete again.
 
That was one spooky and somber dream, up until Ponko appeared. Adorable berd Ponko was unexpected, but very much welcome. But then it got sad again when his wife appeared and he instantly knew it was a dream.
 
Yay new chapter! Thank you cyansteam!

Grampa dreams is going deeper.....
 
I think Gramps dodged the death flag right there on this chapter.

dang... that's scary.
 
Aw man that went from menacing to cute to tearful fast huh. I really adored the menace of those robed figures, and how they kind of just. Slumped. With indistinguishable figures. Enough to make you wonder if the shape underneath is even human. Mr. Ito would approve, surely... well... maybe after like 2000 more hatchmarks.

Also @justforthelulz now I have to sing that or it'll be stuck in my dang head all day.
 
I just realize the 500 yen is Ponko, the first chapter flashback when she said she will be scrapped into 500 yen coin as she finished her last job
 
The 500 yen coin is metaphorically Ponko, which is why he doesn't want to give it away, and why it saves him from "going towards the light".
Ponko is literally the nickname for his wife.
Ponko gives him companionship and meaning now he doesn't have Ponko.
