Panku Ponk(パンク・ポンクPanku Ponku) is a Japanese children's comedy manga series written and illustrated by Haruko Tachiiri. It began serialization in the December 1976 issue of the Shogakukan magazine Third Grade of Elementary School(小学三年生Shougaku Sannensei); as the characters aged, it moved to Fourth Grade of Elementary School(小学四年生Shougaku Yonnensei), Fifth Grade of Elementary School(小学五年生Shougaku Gonensei), and the shōjo manga magazine Hop, before concluding in 1991. Serial numbers were very short, usually no more than four pages, and were collected in a total of 12 bound volumes under Shogakukan's Ladybird Comics imprint. It was followed by two sequel series, Panku Ponkuserekushon(パンク・ポンクセレクション), collected in two volumes, and Panku Ponk: Color Version(カラー版パンク・ポンクKaraa Ban Panku Ponku). Pan
