Meet Maruko, a sweet schoolgirl with a hefty dose of curiosity (and occasional laziness!). She sails through life in a cozy town alongside her loving parents, grandparents, and sister. Maruko has a band of loyal friends, including her closest pal, Tama-chan, but her playful and doting grandpa is at the heart of it all. Life is never dull in this charming series.

"The town is getting excited as the year comes to an end. I've been practicing for the singing contest I'm going to enter. There are a lot of tough rivals, but I'm going to sing that song!"

"The next episode will be a one-hour special to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the anime. There will be a story about Maruko and her friends becoming members of the Drifters, and a special episode where they hold a Chibi Maruko-chan song festival and sing all kinds of songs. I wonder what songs they'll sing, hehe, it's still a secret. Look forward to it."
