Don’t let the cute faces fool you, nyo! Digiko is a pint–sized cutie whose sweet face belies a bratty personality with a habit of finishing her sentences with “nyo.” She works in a store called Gamerz where she dreams of making it big as an actress someday. Digiko finds her match in the cute and powerful Pyoko! Pyoko, leader of the Black Gema Gema Gang, devises silly schemes to kidnap Digiko in a desperate attempt to make a quick buck. Along with her sometimes rival and mostly friend RABI~en~Rose, and her younger sister Puchiko, Digiko stars in this compilation of shorts (originally published by Shônen Champion Comics) which chronicles their misadventures with the Pyoko and her cronies!

Because many of the shorts reference Japanese cultural events that were occurring concurrent to the magazine at the time—such as holidays, television shows, etc.—Studio Ironcat has made a special effort to include explanations and footnotes where appropriate to allow English readers to better understand the comic.
