Ponta is a tail-wagging puppy, the beloved pet of the Koizumi family. Then Grandpa Koizumi invents the Guru Guru Bone, which gives Ponta the power to transform into a human girl. Ponta is immediately drawn to handsome Mirai Iwaki, and even after he discovers that she's really a dog, the two fall head over heels (paws?) in love.

When Mirai's ex-girlfriend stands between Ponta and Mirai, the budding relationship sours. Ponta realises that she can never really be Mirai's true girlfriend, so she runs away. And when the lovers try to reunite, tragedy strikes. Will out-of-body experiences, old flames, and spring fever keep Ponta and Mirai apart?

Ponta is a Labrador retriever puppy, the Koizumi family's pet. But when Grandpa Koizumi, an amateur inventor, creates the Guru Guru Bone, Ponta discovers she can use it to turn into a human girl! Ponta quickly meets and falls in love with Mirai Iwaki. And when he realises that she's actually a dog, Mirai learns to overcome it. Talk about an odd couple.

In ways of the heart, it is certainly not an easy road for them. Plus Mirai's ex-girlfriend wants him back - by any means necessary. When Mirai and Ponta go to the beach together, the trip turns disastrous. Can Ponta make the romance work, or will she give up her life as a human forever?


Dog Days

Ponta the Labrador retriever is no ordinary dog. With the magic Guru Guru Bone, she can turn at will into a human girl. In her human form, Ponta has fallen in love with Mirai Iwaki - and the couple has developed an uncoventional but powerful relationship.

But what would happen if Mirai transformed instead? As a puppy, Ponta learned the true meaning of friendship and love. Might Mirai also benefit from living life as a dog? Of course, there's a downside. For Ponta, all the changing between puppy and girl has taken its toll... which raises the question: Is the Guru Guru Bone more a curse than a blessing?

Gang, an aggressive Labrador, is drooling over Ponta, unaware that she's human half the time. And Gang's owner, Aoka, is attracted to Mirai, and will stop at nothing to have him for herself. When Aoka hatches a plan to 'marry' Gang and Ponta, she sets in motion a chain of events that may leave Ponta expecting puppies and Mirai all alone!

Ponta is a Labrador retriever puppy who uses the amazing Guru Guru Bone to transform into a human girl. She has fallen in love with Mirai Iwaki, who-after the initial shock-has overcome his concerns about her true canine form. So now the two are dating. But everything is new and different for Ponta, and she's having a rough (ruff?) time with the relationship.

When the Guru Guru Bone stops working its magic, Ponta finds herself trapped in her original dog form, and unable to communicate with Mirai. To make matters worse, there's a good-looking Labrador who has set his romantic sights on her! When the Lab's adorable owner starts spending time with Mirai, will Ponta be in the doghouse?


Ponta is a Labrador retriever puppy, the Koizumi family's pet. She's full of energy and usually up to some kind of mischief. But when Grandpa Koizumi, an amateur inventor, creates the Guru Guru Bone, Ponta's curiosity causes trouble. She nibbles the bone - and turns into a human girl!

Surprised but undaunted, Ponta ventures out of the house and meets Mirai Iwaki, the most popular boy at school. When Mirai saves her from a speeding car, Ponta changes back into her puppy self. Yet much has changed for Ponta during her short adventure as a human. Her heart races and her face flushes when she thinks of Mirai now. She's in love! Using the power of the Guru Guru Bone, Ponta switches back and forth from dog to girl - but can she win Mirai's affections?

Winner of the Kodansha Manga of the Year Award!


Thanks to the invention of the Guru Guru Bone, Ponta can now change from puppy to teenage girl at will. But human customs are hard to master, and she keeps finding herself in strange and awkward situations. Will Ponta have to spend Christmas in the dog pound? Will she ever attract her one true love, cute high school boy Mirai? She's certainly lovable enough - maybe that's why transfer student Go Fujinaga falls for her instantly! Romantic misadventures ensue, as Go moves heaven and earth to induce beautiful, innocent Ponta to look his way. . .

Rivalry is the name of the game in this new adventure, as Ponta discovers the obstacles in her path to winning Mirai's love. First there's Mirai's mother, a woman with very strong ideas about the type of girl her son should involve himself with. Can Ponta ever measure up to a mother's expectations?

Then Ponta meets Mirai's ex-girlfriend, Hana. After leaving high school, Hana became a Japanese pop idol. Now she's back and wants to relive old times. But first she'll have to contend with Ponta . . . whose bite may be worse than her bark!
