Chibi Maruko-chan

Also known as: ちびまる子ちゃん, Momoko Sakura, Nhóc Maruko

by Momoko Sakura, Botan Kohagi

Momoko Sakura is a third-grade elementary school student. Because she’s small and a girl, everyone calls her “Chibi Maruko-chan.” This delightful, diary-style comic follows the everyday adventures of Maruko-chan and her quirky family and school friends.
