Pani Poni (Japanese: ぱにぽに), also known by the title of its anime adaptation, Pani Poni Dash! (ぱにぽにだっしゅ!, Pani Poni Dasshu!), is a Japanese manga series by Hekiru Hikawa that uses parody, frequently referencing Japanese and American pop-culture in many ways.[2][3][4] It mainly follows child prodigy Rebecca Miyamoto, an MIT graduate newly hired as a homeroom teacher at Peach Moon Academy, where she deals with the antics of the Class 1-C students during everyday school life. The manga was serialized in Square Enix's G Fantasy between the November 2000 and October 2011 issues, and the chapters are collected in 17 tankōbon volumes.
A 26-episode anime television series adaptation aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between July 4 and December 26, 2005 with its title renamed as Pani Poni Dash!. The anime is licensed by Funimation in North America.[5] There have also been several drama CDs created based on the TV series and manga. A special OVA was released with a DVD box set containing the anime series on April 15, 2009 in Japan.[6]
