Synopsis

“My Daily Walks with Ponta” – Viral Manga Gets TV Adaptation

Popular social media sensation “Today’s Sanponta,” a heartwarming walking comedy about Shiba Inu Ponta and his owner Rieko, is getting a TV adaptation. The series, currently serialized in Gessan (Shogakukan), will air on Fuji TV TWO starting February 2025, with two episodes per week for a total of eight episodes.

Shintani Yuzumi stars as Rieko, a carefree and somewhat airheaded college student. During their daily walks, Rieko vents her various troubles to Ponta, while the sarcastic Shiba Inu makes witty internal comments that his owner can never hear. This creates a charming one-sided conversation between the pair on each walk, resulting in a laid-back, feel-good comedy that captures both humor and heart.
