Asshole mom, to scream right in front of her face. Wtf.

 

[Oeconomist]

Unfortunately, in other manga, this mangaka has exhibited a broken moral compass; so I am not hopeful about a a proper resolution, though I certainly don't expect overt tragedy.

[Orenoname]

Oh no 2 chapters until Sayonara...

 

[LordZero]

Did they forgot that if Ponko gets replaced, she will be destroyed ? It's not something so light as to just let it happen...

God, i hate tge mothe so much

@Oeconomist

broken moral compass

In what sense?

 

[orochijes]

It can brew tea in it's torso, but can it cook rice?

 

[Veek]

Be free Ponko

Certified asian mom, screaming in front of her daughter while others are watching

@Ranarana—

There's a decided association of great cruelty with amusement, and unjust outcomes are treated as positive.

 

[shadowknight007]

That was... a little forced, but I guess the author really wanted to heighten the conflict between Yuuna and her mom

 

[RanaRana]

@Oeconomist
Can you name specifics?
Been a while since I read this.

 

[Tersione]

Yep, the mother is a certified grade-A bitch. Now, if only a certain heterochromic sister of Ponko's does a drive by shooting, Terminator style.

@Ranarana—

The comment to which you responded refers to other manga, but in this manga, I would note as an example Ponko literally having to beg not to be destroyed in the first episode. (Just how rotten would Yoshioka have to be for it to get to that point?) For an example of the other manga to which I referred, see Koishikawa-san Is a Carnivore, which is quite cruel.

 

[exxp]

... Pfft, if only the mother knew that Ponko and the grandpa fell of a cliff once.... 🤣

 

[shadowknight007]

@Oeconomist You just described dark comedy. I don't know how you can correlate that with the author having a "broken moral-compass"

 

[Oeconomist]

@shadowknight007—

There will always be people who try to represent such things as dark comedy. Name anything, and someone can be found who will laugh at it; but intelligent comedy, dark or otherwise, is based upon a violation of expectations, rather than structure that creates and sustains an expectation.
