Introduction to Nagano’s “Chiikawa: Those Little, Cute Things”
The long-awaited book adaptation of Nagano’s popular “Self-Mocking Bear” series!
A story of the fun, bittersweet, and sometimes tough daily lives of the “somehow small and cute creatures”—commonly known as “Chiikawa.”
They’re loved and treated kindly by everyone, and they’d like to live like this… or so they thought, but there are also plenty of mysterious beings all around them!?
Still, surrounded by their beloved Hachiware and rabbits, eating delicious food, and trying to get what they want with the rewards from their work, the world of “Chiikawa”—who live each day to the fullest—is always brimming with smiles.
Of course, it also includes brand-new episodes you can only read in this book!
Another “Nagano World” begins right here!
