Fujio Akatsuka's most popular work, serialized in Shounen Sunday and other magazines! The six children, Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu, along with Chibita, Iyami, Hatabou, and many other unique characters, all cry and laugh together!
This series helped establish Akatsuka's reputation as a gag comic artist, long before his other popular manga, Tensai Bakabon. Osomatsu-kun has appeared in numerous special issues of Shounen Sunday. Akatsuka has also included several manga adaptations of routines from Charlie Chaplin movies in the series.
Note: Won the 10th Shogakukan Manga Award in 1964.
