My name is Christy and I really like to read manga for its storylines and imagery. =)

I'm a fan of manga, especially if it involves stories of romance and adventure. This tale is especially good because of this girl's difficulty to relate to humans. It is hilarious and charming. And a read not to miss for the romance-less or romance-lovers. ^^

I'm also now collecting the series because I love it so much! =^^=

AND the price is good! =P

IT TRULY IS PUPPY LOVE! ^-^

This was a very adorable series, which is the reason I read it, that and I was dog crazy at the time. BUt dont be decieved by the cuteness of the story: it actually is very mature and deep, and isnt a kids manga. But you do very much end up falling in love with Ponta and Mirai. At times, the series does seem to go a little fast, but it has the right level of drama and romance that a book series needs

Guru Guru Pon-chan stars the story of a yellow Labrador named Ponta, who with the power of a mistake-of-invention device called the Guru Guru Bone can turn into a human when she kisses it. Quickly down the road, she falls in love with the handsome Mirai who lives next door. Determined to prove a love between a human and a dog is possible she sets out on an adventure which includes things like high school, to win the boy's heart.

Now, I never liked romances or anything shojo at that. But Guru Guru Pon-chan is a hilarious, heartwarming book about a Romeo&Juliet like story. Now, I know most people would think that this sort of love is wrong (and I agree with that) but everyone is convinced the love is true. Confused with human life, Ponta is no where near "perfect" like a normal main female shojo girl. Always getting into trouble with her dog instincts creates a easygoing, loveable character that never gets you annoyed.
Mirai falls within that as well. He just goes along with Ponta's "love story" but ends up falling for her as well, yet constantly reminded that she is, indeed, still a dog despite her human appearance leading to many of the two's adventures.

Short, with only 9 volumes Guru Guru Pon-chan is a full, beautiful story with brilliant art. It doesn't lack a plot at all and every volume keeps the reader entertained full time.

I'd recommend this series to all manga fans.

From Satomi Ikezawa, the creator of the hit shojo manga Othello, comes a quirky comedy about a dog given the chance to become human.

Ponta is a cute labrador puppy who lives with a family in Japan. Their grandfather Koizumi is not only the head of the local school, but he's also a closet scientist. He develops something he calles the Guru Guru Bone. It's a synthetic non-digestable bone that is supposed to cause a dog to start speaking human language once they put it in their mouth or lick it. Koizumi tries to test it on Ponta, bun instead the effect it has on her is that it turns her into a human girl! She starts running around totally naked, and then runs into the neighbor's yard. Their neighbor is Mirai, the handsomest boy in school. He sees this crazy naked little girl in his yard and doesn't know what to think, but saves her from nearly getting hit by a car. Ponta runs away when she accidently pukes on Mirai, and then turns back to her dog form though as transformation is only temporary.

Nine months pass after that, and Ponta is now a few years older(in dog years). She sees Mirai again, and gets a hold of the Guru Guru Bone which was in his room for the last few months. She turns into a human again, but this time she's a cute blonde teenager. She grabs one of Mirai's shirts and runs home. Ponta's family is suprised to see a mute half-naked girl running around, but then the transformation wears off again, and they learn the truth about their grandfather's experiment.

From this point, one thing leads to another, and Ponta is now enrolled in Koizumi's school, which his granddaughter Yuka who has a secret crush on Mirai. But what none of them know is that Ponta has a crush on Mirai too. He soon figures out about Ponta's transformations, but still treats her like a little
sister. This leads to a conflict where Ponta realizes that Yuka is jealous of her spending time with Mirai, so Ponta tries to loose the Guru Guru Bone. But that doesn't last long, as she's back in school in human form later on, and becomes the girl that the new transfer student gets a thing for.

This is an exceptionally funny manga series. It's mostly from the p.o.v. of the dog though, but still very well illustrated, and has a bizarre but hysterical sense of humor. Certainly worth a look for dog lovers, or any shojo junkies.

this is defintly the cutest and most delighful shojo that I've come across in a long time! If u love dogs and adorable romance, then this manga is perfect for u!

Little ponta is a trouble loving lab puppy, who lives for dog treats, digging in the yard, and of course, love from her family.

However, her life gets a new twist when her owner invents a "Guru Guru Bone". This allows Ponta to speak like a human girl. However, when Ponta licks the bone, not only can she talk, but she also can change to a human girl!!! O.O

And when Ponta devolps a crush on a human boy( Handsome Mirai-kun) things just even more complicated!!!

This is such a cute manga, and it's definalty worth you're money. You'll love the plot, adorable characters ( Especially Ponta) and just well... everything about it basically!
