Chibi Coloring Books For Adults Teens & Tweens

Chibi means small and/or miniature in a good or cute way. This word, along with kawaii and several other Japanese words, have been taken by America’s “Wapanese” who have gone overboard in accentuating their English speech with Japanese words. “Chibi” was probably first introduced to the West through anime, and probably from the name of Sailor Chibimoon, in Sailor Moon.
