S01E01 Maru-Chan's Sibling Rivalry! & Maru-Chan's in the New Year Mood!
Tensions rise between Maruko and Sakiko when a new notebook enters the picture. Then, Maruko's peaceful New Year is threatened by responsiblities looming over the horizon.
Maruko's family heads to a French restaurant to broaden their palettes, but nobody is quite ready for what they'll encounter there. Then, the dreaded school marathon has finally arrived, much to Maruko's chagrin.
Meet Maruko, a sweet schoolgirl with a hefty dose of curiosity (and occasional laziness!). She sails through life in a cozy town alongside her loving parents, grandparents, and sister. Maruko has a band of loyal friends, including her closest pal, Tama-chan, but her playful and doting grandpa is at the heart of it all. Life is never dull in this charming series.
