"Look! In the sky...It's a bird...It's a plane...It's Super Pig?!"
One fateful day, Karin, a junior-high student, found what she thought was an injured piglet. However, the piglet was just exhausted from hunger. After the piglet regained his health by eating Karin's apple, he revealed that he is a prince, Tonrariano III, from a planet called Booringo. Tonrariano wanted to reward Karin for helping him and so he transformed her into a pig with superpowers. Karin was not at all pleased with the gift because she wanted to become a pretty superheroine like "Cutey Chao" (a parody of Cutey Honey), not Super Pig. Reluctantly, she became more interested in her role as Super Pig when she found out that she can turn into someone like "Cutey Chao" if she can collect 108 pearls through doing good deeds for other people.

Where it came from
Super Pig, known in Japan as Tonde Burin, was produced by Nippon Animation and debuted in 1994. The series originated from a manga by Taeko Ikeda and was conceived as a lighthearted mahou shoujo, or magical girl, parody. By subverting the genre's typical focus on grace and beauty, the show centered on a protagonist who transforms into a pig, blending comedy with traditional superhero tropes.
The character design and overall aesthetic captured the vibrant, accessible style typical of mid-nineties shoujo animation. While it was marketed primarily toward a younger audience, its clever reversal of magical girl conventions garnered a niche following. The series remains a notable example of Nippon Animation's willingness to experiment with absurdity within established animation formats during the decade.
