Book Reviews of Guru Guru Pon-Chan 1
Book Review: Is it puppy love?
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
