"Chiikawa" is a popular manga series that illustrator Nagano has been posting on X (formerly Twitter) since 2020. It won the Grand Prix at the "Japan Character Award 2022" and again at the "Japan Character Award 2024" announced in July 2024. Its unique combination of tiny, cute characters and a surprisingly harsh world has attracted a wide following among both adults and children, and the series now boasts over 4 million followers.
