"Chiikawa" is a popular manga that illustrator Nagano started serializing on X (formerly Twitter) in 2020. It won the Grand Prix at the "Japan Character Awards 2022" and again at the "Japan Character Awards 2024" announced in July 2024. The contrast between the small, cute characters and the harsh world setting has gained popularity among both adults and children, with followers surpassing 3.85 million to date.

The anime version of "Chiikawa" airs on Fuji TV's "Mezamashi TV" every Tuesday and Friday around 7:40 AM. Starting April 2025, new episodes will be paused for about three months to rebroadcast past episodes that received significant attention. Additionally, the first "Chiikawa" smartphone app, "Chiikawa Pocket," was released on March 27 and is available in 43 countries and regions, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the United States.
