Chibi Maruko-chan is a cute little girl with short black hair and pink cheeks who goes to elementary school. Maruko is known for her playful and sometimes lazy nature – she's often late for school and doesn't always do her homework!

Chibi Maruko-chan is based on a manga and anime series created by Momoko Sakura, and the stories are inspired by the author's own childhood experiences. The show is set in the 1970s, so you won't see any computers or cell phones – it's all about the simple joys of life back then.

Maruko lives with her family in a small town, and she has a big sister named Sakiko, who she sometimes fights with, but they love each other a lot. She also has loving parents, a grandpa who's the heart of the family, and a grandma who always seems to be there with a warm hug.

At school, Maruko has many friends. She's especially close to Tama-chan, and they have lots of fun together. Maruko is also a fan of the popular idol Momoe Yamaguchi and loves to read manga. She dreams of becoming a mangaka, a singer, or a world traveler when she grows up.

One of the fun things about Maruko is her sense of humor. When something embarrassing happens, you'll see black lines appear on her face, and sometimes a cold wind blows from behind her head. The anime also has a funny narrator who adds to the charm of the show.

Chibi Maruko-chan is a heartwarming show that reminds us of the simple joys in life, like spending time with family and friends, and the adventures of childhood. If you like Chibi Maruko-chan too, follow the tutorial below and try to draw this Chibi Maruko-chan who is waving her hand!
