Chiikawa (ちいかわ)

Chiikawa

Have you heard of 'Chiikawa' (ちいかわ), which has become a social phenomenon in Japan.

'Chiikawa', also known as 'Nanka Chiisakute Kawaii Yatsu', is a very popular manga drawn by illustrator Nagano. It has been seriezed on X(Twitter) since 2020.

'Nanka' (何か) means "something," 'chiisaku/chiisai' (小さく/小さい) means "small," 'kawaii' (かわいい) means "cute," and 'yatsu' (やつ) means "guy" or "something." Therefore, the literal meaning of the title is "something small and cute."

The surreal combination of adorable characters and realistic, absurd stories is believed to be one of the reasons for its popularity.

My favorite character in 'Chiikawa' is 'Hachiware' (ハチワレ), who looks like a cat.

ちいかわ

日本で社会現象となっている「ちいかわ」をご存知でしょうか？

「ちいかわ」は、イラストレータのナガノ氏による漫画作品「なんか小さくてかわいいやつ」の通称で、2020年よりTwitter（現X）にて連載されています。

「なんか」は "something"、「小さく/小さい」は "small"、「かわいい」は "cute"、「やつ」は "guy/something" を意味するので、「なんか小さくてかわいいやつ」の文字どおりの意味は "something small and cute" となります。

かわいらしいキャラクターと、現実感のある不条理なストーリーのシュールな組み合わせが、人気の理由であると考えられています。

私はこの作品の「ハチワレ」が好きです。
