Dokonjo Gaeru: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

This is the story of a middle school boy named Hiroshi and Pyonkichi, a rather special talking frog. One day, Pyonkichi is jumping around and minding his own business, and then Hiroshi crashes on him. Somehow, Pyonkichi survives... as his soul sorta becomes an imprint on Hiroshi's shirt. Since Hiroshi is very poor and that's his only good shirt, he's forced to keep it as well as Pyonkichi, who becomes a sort-of member of his family and his best friend...

Yep, this is one really weird show.

 

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Aside of frogs, we have gorillas... for [[The Big Guy|the local bully]].

** The said bully's sidekick is named Mogura, which is Japanese for "mole". As his name implies, [[Tunnel King|he can dig underground]].

* {{spoiler|[[Break Her Heart to Save Her]]: At some point, Pyonkichi's frog girlfriend Pyonko appears. Pyonkichi treats her real badly, which greatly upsets Hiroshi; when he asks why would he do such a thing, Pyonkichi cries and explains that he doesn't want her to suffer due to his special situation so he'd rather have her hate him.}}

* [[A Boy and His X]]: A boy and his talking shirt! ... Sorta.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Hiroshi's father is explicitely mentioned to be deceased, so he lives with his [[Housewife]] mother.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Gorilla-Imo frequently bullies Hiroshi, but he does have a soft-side, such as his love of cats.

* [[No Name Given]]: The sushi parlor owner/Sankakubei's boss, Hiroshi's mother.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Goro looks like a grade schooler. {{spoiler|So does his future girlfriend, Misako.}}
