Hoshi no Ponko to Toufuya Reiko · review
i started reading this bc i came across a panel on twitter of a girl sitting in a really gross room full of junk, and i really like that kind of aesthetic so i decided to give it a go and was not disappointed. this is a really weird story about an alien tricking a young girl intro giving up her brothers soul and her subsequent quest to get revenge, it sounds pretty generic when i put it like that but there are lots of interesting paths this manga takes that u don't normally see in stories like this. the highlight of the whole thing isdefinitely the art, lots of really cool panels depicting a neet girl, gore, guns, aliens, stuff like that.
as a whole i'd give it an 8. it's really short so u can easily read it in on sitting. would love to see an ova adapt this it'd be rlly sick animated. reminded me of becchin to mandara in a lot of ways, just the general vibe and weirdness. pretty fricking cool overall
