Chibi Miku-san is what you get when you cross VocaloidwithAzumanga Daioh (Or any Moe-themed4koma for that matter). Chibi Miku-san is a webcomic that narrates the humorous everyday life of 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 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 inconsistent character designs, being disgustingly adorable and easy to understand despite the lack of dialogue (thus enjoyed by both Japanese and English speaking fans alike). Can be found in Minami's 'site here and his PIXIV page. A Danbooru archive with translation notes can also be found here.
Tropes include:
A Day in the Limelight — Yowane Haku gets a special "DX" strip that spans 8 panels long. It deals with her 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, Meguri-neesan, etc.)
Early-Bird Cameo — MEIKO and KAITO first appeared in a TV drama Chibi-Miku loves to watch. This is way before they're established as Hatsune Miku's caretakers.
Exact Words: Chibi-Miku's doll's head came off, and she asks Rin to fix it. And she indeed fixed it and said that the head won't come off again. True to her words, the head is fine; but she made it so that only the hair launch off from the head. Nice trolling, Rin, as always.
Fun Personified — Chibi-Miku. Nothing can get in her way and/or ruin her fun.
The other chibified characters also count.
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.
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.
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.
The Load — Yowaneko, both figuratively and literally. It serves nothing but to creep the other characters out, and when Haku tried to lift it, she threw her back.
Made of Iron — Uta and Momo, as demonstrated by jumping out a helicopter and landing feet-first on the ground.
Megaton Punch — Defoko to KAITO under orders from MEIKO. Theoretically-speaking, any of the girls can do this tothetwoguys if they really wanted to.
Memetic Mutation — In-universe example: the Not-Quite-Sure-What-This-Thing-Is gained a cult following all thanks to a certain image board. Chibi-Miku, Rin and FL-chan fail to understand this logic.
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 All Grown Up — Yokune Ruko was introduced (in a flashback, no less!) as Hatsune Miku's childhood friend who moved away. Cue present day Ruko returning...
Shout Out — One of the names Chibi-Miku suggests for Hamo when she first arrives is Negima; this could be a reference to the negi dish, though.
Sugar and Ice Personality — Luka is usually seen as stoic and aloof, but she positively glows whenever she's together with Chibi-Miku. She even blushes just thinking about her.
Super-Deformed — Practically everybody, since they're really not up to proportion.
Supreme Chef — Kagamine Len, but his skill are hardly praised and his position is currently being threatened by Momone.
