☆ Chocomimi Volume 6 English Translation / Chapter 1
Translated through phone scans and my limited knowledge of Japanese! I appreciate any and all corrections.
This series was a big part of my childhood but localization had stopped after volume five, so I’ve decided to translate as much as I can for fun. I hope someone out there enjoys!

This comic is traditionally read right to left, top to bottom.
(skipping over the character pages for now because they’re a lot to translate)
☆ Reading ☆
Choco: It’s autumn, the best season for reading!
Choco: Guys, how about we all read books and write down our impressions of them?
Mumu: okay! Is a fashion magazine alright?
Choco: Can you please choose something that has a story?
Mimi: okay! Is a shoujo manga alright?
Choco: Could you please choose something that doesn’t have pictures?
Mikachin: okay! Is a Japanese dictionary alright?
Choco: As long as you’re using it to write down your impressions…
☆ Recommended ☆
Mimi: Mikachin, I read the book you recommended~♡
(New universe theories)
Mikachin: Really? How was it?
Mimi: (ehe) Difficult to get through, but interesting!
Mikachin: I see. Mimi, you’re very admirable.
Mimi: (honestly, I didn’t understand any of it, but I’m glad I read it anyways)
Mumu: Woah, what’s with the difficulty in this?
Mumu: I’m trying to read it, but it’s impossible.
Mikachin: Is that so?
Mikachin: Should I explain to you the parts you don’t understand?
Mimi: gasp!
Mikachin: Come over to my house after school today. there’s cake, too.
Mumu: huh——- okay, sure.
Mimi: ((I made a mistake!!)) how nice…
☆ The Next Day ☆
Mimi: Mumu-chan, did you go to Mikachin’s house yesterday?
Mumu: hm? I did.
Mumu: The two of us read the book the whole time in Mikami-kun’s room. I got sleepy.
Mimi: (just them alone in Mikachin’s room?!)
Mumu: Halfway through, I fell asleep.
Mumu: Mikami-kun ended up giving me a piggyback ride to my house. He’s really kind, huh.
Mimi: (A PIGGYBACK RIDE FROM MIKACHIN?!!??) AAAHHH….
Mimi: I’d also like to be an idiotic and inconsiderate human being… I envy Mumu-chan... sigh…
Andrew: You’re already idiotic and inconsiderate enough.
☆ Girls ☆
Mikachin: Sometimes I just don’t get girls, y’know?
Andrew: Huh? what happened?
Mikachin: on Snow White...
Mikachin: If a stranger covered from head to toe in black offered you an apple… would you normally eat it?
Witch: here, take this apple
Snow White: oh dear
Andrew: I wouldn’t eat it. That’s way too suspicious.
Mikachin: and Little Red Riding Hood, too…
Mikachin: The wolf was pretending to be her grandmother in her house…
Mikachin: To not be able to tell the difference from a beast to a human… is that even possible?
Red: Gramma, why are your ears so big?
Andrew: That’s just how fairy tales are.
☆ Tears ☆
Choco: Speaking of emotional stories…
Choco: Once in a while, I’m hit with the desire to really want to read one.
Mumu: I know what you mean! The more you cry, the better it is.
Choco: Exactly! I have to read those alone, because tears end up falling from my face.
Mumu: Exactly! And that’s when I snap a pic of my crying face!
Mumu: I like verifying that my crying face is the cutest thing ever~ it’s the photo after I was reading
Choco: Sorry, can’t relate to that whatsoever.
☆ Shoujo Manga ☆
Choco: Mimi, the manga you lent me is so interesting! I really relate to the main character.
Mimi: The protagonist Shouko is really similar to you, Choco!
Choco: Isn’t the transfer student Shindou-kun also a bit like Ando?
Choco: Her close friend Yumi is just like you, Mimi, and almost predictably, Matsuda-sensei is like Take-chan, too!
(The manga she’s reading is called chocomint)
Mimi: [hehe… Choco doesn’t know this yet, but in volume five, Shouko and Shindou confess to each other and find out they have mutual feelings~]
Shindou: please go out with me.
Mimi: [and also, Yumi, the girl that Choco said looked like me]
Mimi: [confesses to her homeroom teacher, Matsuda-sensei]
Matsuda-sensei: You moron!
Matsuda-sensei: I’m going to use this triangle ruler’s 30-degree angle to stab you!
Mimi: [that’s just horrible, honestly…] It seems so depressing...
☆ Bible ☆
Choco: Mimi, what book are you reading?
Mimi: The “How to Be a Good Woman Book”! If you read it, you’ll become a wonderful lady!
Mimi: Ah, it’s essential that a good woman has an attractive lover!
Mimi: I guess I’ll have to study up on the “How to Find a Great Boyfriend Book”.
Mimi: Ahhh… but there’s no doubt that a wonderful boyfriend would also be popular with the ladies…
Mimi: I’ll have to research the "Affair Detection book”...
Mimi: sigh… and I’ll need to read the “Getting Back Up After a Broken Heart Book” after we split up from the cheating… I can’t get depressed now!
Choco: ah... the only thing she’s learning is delusion…
Fashion tips section!
☆ Feelings ☆
Choco: Ando, have you read this too? It’s a book about understanding your pet’s feelings! I borrowed it from Mimi!
Ando: nah, I don’t need it.
Choco: Ahh.. you already know whatever Picho’s thinking, huh.
Ando: Not at all, but…
Ando: Even if we never reach understanding over an entire lifetime, it’s okay. Ando: If that’s how it is, then I’d be pleased just guessing as to how I can make her smile… thinking of my beloved companion day and night…
Ando: Isn’t that the key to continuing to love other people?
Choco: What’s with your dialogue sounding like it’s coming from a master of love?
☆ Returning a Favor ☆ (this is based off a japanese tale called tsuru no ongaeshi)
Bambi: Like a crane who comes to return a favor, Picho turns into a human before your eyes!
Bambi: What would you do?
[One night, Picho had opened the door and returned in the appearance of a beautiful maiden...]
Picho: Good evening...
Ando: That wouldn’t be bad…
Mikachin: Wait, Picho is a girl? I thought he was a guy this whole time.
Bambi: Oh yeah, and Picho’s also a little kid. So instead…
Bambi: One night, Picho opened the door and had returned in the appearance of an elementary school boy with a shaved head!
Ando: Absolutely not.
☆ Heroine ☆
[A great man’s entire life will remain in history through books.]
[His story will be read by all.]
Jin: Wouldn’t it be nice if there were books about ordinary people, not just the greats?
Jin: A book written about an ordinary person’s life from their birth up to their death!
Aoi: Would that be interesting to read about?
Jin: There’s a chance it wouldn’t be interesting, and there’s a chance it wouldn’t have a happy ending…
Aoi: right?
Aoi: (But, if it’s Jin-kun’s book, I might be interested in reading it...)
[If it’s Jin-kun’s book, then I think it’d definitely be happy.]
Jin: look, that cloud is like taiyaki!
[How many pages in it will I appear?]
Aoi: (No, it’s not how many pages… how many lines?…)
Aoi: (Oh…I wonder if I’ll be able to make an appearance at all...)
Jin: You know…
Jin: It’s fine if I end up not reading about Aoi-chan’s life.
Aoi: (I-is it…because it’d be so insignificant?!)
Jin: or should I say, I wouldn’t have to go to the trouble of reading it.
Jin: Whatever happens in Aoi-chan’s life, my eyes will have seen ALL of it, so that’s why I wouldn’t need a book.
Jin: We’ll be together forever, yeah?
Aoi: ........
Aoi: Forever?
Jin: Yep, forever.
Aoi: Even when we become adults?
Jin: Yup, foreverrrrr.
Aoi: I see…
[Then, my book]
Jin: look, that cloud is a heart-♥️
Aoi: You’re right.
[Will surely have a happy ending.]

Hi! I made this blog bc I felt nostalgic and dug up one of my childhood manga, ChocoMimi. I noticed there didn't seem to be full volumes posted online in English, so I decided to post vol 2-4 in English since I have the physical copies! (I don't have vol 1) Also I don't know how to scan so forgive me for the simple photos of pages!
What is ChocoMimi? ChocoMimi is a shoujo manga by Konami Sonoda from the early 2000's about fashionable best friends Choco and Mimi as well as their cast of friends.
I don't expect a lot of people to care or be into this, but I just don't want this to turn into lost media. I think it's a very underrated piece of "girly" childhood media that I wish was more well known. And it's a shame most of the later volumes aren't online and translated (due to the unfortunate death of the mangaka back in 2019)
But I hope this will reach some people who may have liked this manga or haven't heard of it before!

2. Cardcaptor Sakura
3. Kitchen Princess
4. Jibaku Shounen Hanako Kun
5. Spirited Away
6. Blue Period
7. Happy Happy Clover
8. Chocomimi
9. Pokemon
10. Gnosia
#liya chats#if you recognize any of the obscure ones ur a real one#the breath of story telling in fb is amazing and like. I’ve never gotten over how masterfully it was told#ccs is close to my heart!!!!!!! thank u clamp#kitchen princess was the first manga I ever read and made me into who I am today#jshk has the most cute art (I want that style) and also the inherent tragedy of it. middle school coming of age stuff hits different#spirited away first ghibli film!!!! i was never scared by it lol and I had a crush on haku when I was five :/#blue period. yatora IS me I won’t be elaborating farther#clover and chocomimi r obscure manga but I loved them to bits as a kid#pokemon. send tweet#GNOSIA IS THE MOST RECENT ONE BUT I STILL GET A PANG IN MY CHEST WHEN I THIBK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH!!!

Now my work is doing a door decorating competition and since me and my coworker are techniicalllyyyyy not really participating in the competition, we’ve been deciding to go decorate our based on our childhood faves.
I read. A lot of shoujo manga. So I was thinking of doing all my faves (Sailor Moon and Chocomimi above) for the sillies 💖 these are the silly sketches
#rambles#bruh my childhood spent reading chocomimi and happy happy clover#and things I prolly shouldn’t have been reading like count Cain

honestly my weakness for comics with fashion pages breaking up the story is probably why the only manga i ever read was chocomimi lol
#i dont remember it being all that good plotwise but the outfits. oh my god#also my first exposure to ‘why does this character who is a boy who looks like a girl make me feel so happy’

My sister got me a ton of cute manga for my birthday! It’s called Chocomimi, and we used to read them from our library when we were kids. I guess the English version is hard to find though.
#browniefox speaks#chocomimi#my birthday isn’t until Saturday#but for reasons we unwrapped presents yesterday

What was Chocomimi like story wise? I’d like to know
It was a 4-panel slice of life shoujo manga with humor and romantic hints. It’s very cute. Sort of like GALS! in how it’s about fashion and fun, but a lot less heavy and a lot sweeter.
