Fun and lighthearted, with relatable content that makes me nostalgic for my childhood days. I prefer the 1st volume more, this one seems to be a bit more silly and absurd. I enjoyed most of the stories and will read volume 3.
The story is based on what happened to her at home and at school.
Nothing supernatural. Just her everyday mistake in life that seems so big at the time and so funny now when we looked at it. Like forgotten homework, and accidentally eaten the cake prepared for a home visit from her sister's teacher.
it is black and white manga, but is also made into anime.
Chibi Maruko Chan is in the third grade. She is kind and clumsy. It captured the life of a child in Japan, like having all the Japanese festivals, homework including a diary to record what one has done for the day. Exchanging dairy is also a custom in deepening friendship.
I couldn't find the store of Vol 1. So I picked this one.
Book: Read a graphic novel or a book set in a school or academic setting. A stay at mom who yelled at her for not doing her homework and a grandfather who would do whatever she wants.
The kid strategy to buy snacks (big deal in Japan) for limited money. Spent 1/4 of the money buy the sweets or snack for yourself. Then use the rest of the money to buy the largest quantity of snacks for snacks exchange with other kids.
