[[Chibi Miku-sanMikusan]] is what you get when you cross [[Vocaloid]] [[X Meets Y|with]] [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]] (Or any [[Moe]]-themed [[Yonkoma|4koma]] for that matter). [[Chibi Miku-sanMikusan]] is a [[Web Comics|webcomic]] that narrates the humorous everyday life of [[Fun Size|Chibi-Miku]] and the rest of the [[Vocaloid]] gang in a series of silent, often ''non sequitur'' strips. Illustrated by a Japanese artist named Minami, it used to be a gag per day webcomic series until recently, where new strips are [[Schedule Slip|released erratically]] (which can range from once every few days to a whole month). Though it is not the first Vocaloid 4koma series nor the most original, it is arguably the longest running out there with a small but dedicated fanbase.
 
Known for its [[Off-Model|inconsistent character designs]], being [[Tastes Like Diabetes|disgustingly adorable]] and easy to understand despite the lack of dialogue (thus [[Bilingual Bonus|enjoyed by both Japanese and English speaking fans alike]]). Can be found in Minami's 'site [http://carafuru.web.fc2.com/comic.htm here] and his PIXIV page. A Danbooru archive with translation notes can also be found [http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/675 here].

{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes include: ===
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]] -- Yowane Haku gets a special ''"DX"'' strip that spans 8 panels long. It deals with her {{spoiler|getting a surprise birthday celebration. D'aaaaaaaaaawwwwwww~!!!}}
** Other characters can also take center stage for brief moments, changing the title of those particular strips (''Chibi Neru-san'', ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Meguri-neesan]]'', etc.)
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]] -- A [[Running Gag]] in the series. Characters are either [[Oblivious to Love]] or just plain dense.
Line 17:
* [[Animated Actors]] -- It's the only explanation how they manage to play as themselves (or each other) in the Project Diva games.
* [[Animated Adaptation]] -- A short video uploaded on ''Niconico Douga'' gives us a taste of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYtNcrpz1IQ what could be done] in the future of the series.
* [[April Fools' Day]] -- 2010 gave us [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/645834/ this] fake [[PSPPlayStation Portable]] box art.
* [[Art Evolution]] -- It's [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/266930/ in] [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/398997/ there], [[Take Our Word for It|trust us]].
* [[Aside Glance]] -- Luka turns to the readers at one point and [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/481174 gives a thumbs-up] for finally getting brownie points from Chibi-Miku.
Line 26:
* [[Big Eater]] -- Suzu, a [[Running Gag]] along with her iron stomach.
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]] -- Akita Neru.
* [[Bottle Fairy]] -- MEIKO.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint|Bratty Half Pints]] -- The Kagamine twins when they were younger. Thankfully Hatsune Miku ''fixed'' them.
* [[Break the Badass]] -- When Rin found out that Chibi-Teto is an even better gamer than she is. She also straightens up whenever Big Sis Miku is around.
Line 45 ⟶ 44:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]] -- And how! For a 4koma series ''with no dialogue'', Rin's snarkiness really shines through!
** [[Silent Snarker]]
* [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]] -- Len will never be able to finish ''World is Mine'' in Project Diva if he keeps playing as Miku.
* [[Dojikko]] -- FL-chan falls flat on her face every few steps.
** [[Disability Superpower]] -- Her clumsiness turns into this when she learns how to dodge with it.
* [[Dragged Byby the Collar]] -- Part of Uta's ''shtick'' with Momo, [[Super Strength|whenever she's not twirling her in the air for being silly.]]
** Chibi-Miku also had to drag Chibi-Suzu away from Haku's shop.
* [[Dreadful Musician]] -- Chibi-Suzu. Full stop.
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
* [[Generation Xerox]] -- The Hatsune sisters, though Chibi-Miku is ''a lot'' more hyperactive than her older sister.
* [[The Glomp]] -- For a dog, Hamo strangely likes to attempt to do this with Chibi-Miku and Neru.
* [[BottleHard-Drinking FairyParty Girl]] -- MEIKO.
* [[The Heart]] -- Haku is the best friend you can ever have. She has managed to rescue Hatsune Miku and Ruko's friendship ''twice'', and is perfectly content with just being in the sidelines.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] - ''"Yowaneko"''.
* [[In-Series Nickname]] -- The titular character. She's only called as such because her older sister probably shares the same name as her. The other ''chibified'' characters get to retain their full names.
* [[Jerkass]] -- Kagamine Rin to pretty much everyone, but especially to Chibi-Miku.
** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] -- When no one is looking.
* [[Lethal Chef]] -- Hatsune Miku tries to teach Chibi-Teto how to cook. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
** Inverted with FL-chan, whose cooking turns out fine, but [[Dojikko|she hurts herself while doing so]].
Line 90:
** Chibi-Neru's fear of dogs, always hurting herself in the head whenever she tries to run away from Hamo.
** "Thing Not Quite Sure What It Is", an ugly mascot-type character that nonetheless has a huge following.
* [[She Is's All Grown Up]] -- Yokune Ruko was introduced (in a flashback, no less!) as Hatsune Miku's childhood friend who [[Put Onon a Bus|moved away]]. Cue present day Ruko returning...
* [[Shout-Out]] -- One of the names Chibi-Miku suggests for Hamo when she first arrives is [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Negima]]; this could be a reference to the ''negi'' dish, though.
* [[Something Completely Different]] -- ''Neko Miku-san''
