Momoko Sakura's best-selling manga ちびまる子ちゃん Chibi Maruko-chan was adapted into a television anime series in 1990 and has continued ever since, earning its place among one of Japan's longest-running anime series. Depicting the simple, everyday life of Momoko Sakura (aka Maruko-chan) and her family in mid-1970s Japan, the series has been a hit both within and outside Japan and has been broadcast or distributed online in over 50 markets worldwide.
Momoko Sakura passed away in 2018, but the manga and anime series continues to be loved by a wide range of generations.
Fans of Chibi Maruko-chan are surely excited about the recent announcement that two of the series' most famous and well-known feature films are being released on Blu-ray!
