The original Chibi Maruko-chan manga inspired a television anime that is almost consistently the #3 rated television anime series after Sazae-san and Detective Conan.
Over these 10 upcoming weeks, the anime will air newly animated versions of scripts that original Chibi Maruko-chan manga creator Momoko Sakura had written for popular anime episodes in the past.
The Chibi Maruko-chan manga is getting new chapters drawn by Sakura Production, which is staffed by long-time assistants of Sakura.
The official website for the Chibi Maruko-chan anime announced on Sunday that the anime will resume airing new episodes on June 21.
