Manga de Hakken! Tamagotchi (meaning Found in the Manga! Tamagotchi) is a Tamagotchi comic series released by Shogakukan and later published in CoroCoro Comic. It's a 4-panel yonkoma series about the Tamagotchis living on Earth with humans. An unnamed boy who stars in the manga tries to take care of his Tamagotchis, but is quite terrible at it and gets upset when one of them grows into a Kuchipatchi.

- Comic-Book Adaptation: Of Tamagotchi, featuring the characters in a yonkoma comic.
