I'm looking for a manga where the male lead turns into a small, cute animal, not necessarily permanently (actually, it would be better if it weren't permanent). Examples: Tomoe who is trapped in chibi form for a while in Kamisama Hajimemashita, Peter who can change into a rabbit at will in Heart no Kuni no Alice, the lizard prince in Tokage Ouji, and maybe the boy trapped in the body of a fox in Platina (I haven't read it yet, and it doesn't seem to be romance, which I'd prefer).
It doesn't have to be a full animal transformation -- for example, Tomoe just has fox ears and becomes very small. I'd like it if the female lead can lift up the guy in her arms.
Strange request, I know. Thanks for humoring me~

Hm...Not exactly but...Natsume Yuujinchou, and Full Moon O Sagashite.
I feel like I've read a lot of these but I can't recall...

Not small enough to lift in her arms (they're dragons), but you might like Ten no Ryuu Chi no Sakura anyway.
One of the major side characters in Ultramaniac is a kitten who can turn into a boy.

From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

Fruits Basket is probably the most popular animal transformation shoujo. As someone who is generally a seinen reader even I found myself enjoying it and its cuteness.

Unfortunatly the guy is dead and possesses the body of a toy.
