ChocoMimi (チョコミミ, Chokomimi') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Konami Sonoda. It was first serialized in the magazine Ribon Original in 2003 and was moved to the main Ribon magazine in March 2004. The series was put on hiatus in the September 2019 issue of Ribon due to Sonoda's poor health, and she later died from breast cancer on August 4, 2019.
In Japan, the series was popular among elementary and junior high school students, with critics citing the fashion focus and emphasis on friendship as its strong points. The popularity of the series led to a live-action television drama adaptation in 2007.
