Set in Shimizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture (now Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture), it is a heartwarming work that depicts the cheerful, funny, and sometimes poignant everyday life of Maruko, a third-grade elementary school student, and her family and friends. It has been popular as a TV anime and movie, and it recorded the highest cumulative circulation (over 30 million copies) among the comics of the manga "Ribon" that was serialized.
