Her mother sighed. “Maruko, I told you not to play on that thing. You broke it, didn’t you?”

“There’s more!” Maruko clicked another link. It was a preserved forum discussion from 1999. The topic read: “Who is funnier, Maruko or her grandpa?” chibi maruko chan internet archive

Tomozou’s eyes grew watery. “To think… someone across the ocean was thinking of our Maruko…” Her mother sighed

“It’s the ‘Internet,’ Grandpa!” Maruko chirped, not taking her eyes off the screen. Her friend Toshiko, better known as “Nagoya’s little star,” had shown her a magical place called the Internet Archive during a video call. “It’s a library! But a giant, invisible one where you can see things from the past!” It was a preserved forum discussion from 1999

Tomozou let out a loud, happy sob. “Wahhh! I am famous! A global treasure!” He grabbed Maruko in a tight hug, his tears dripping onto her head. “I will buy you ten more watermelons!”

“They’re talking about us, Grandpa!” Maruko squealed. She scrolled down. One user had written: “Tomozou-san is the best anime grandpa. He would do anything for Maruko. I wish he was my grandpa.”
