History Manga / ChisSweetHome

* NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: InUniverse; Chi and Youhei (the Yamadas' son) provide most of the humor.

The manga finally wrapped up in 2015 after it's 11 year run. However, the anime has now gotten a reboot serving as like a sequel to the Madhouse anime, airing in 2016. The reboot's episodes are about ten minutes long as opposed to three, the first season aired 51 episodes and it has now begun its second season.

!!Povides examples of:

* NeedsWikiMagicLove

* ToiletTrainingPlot: Early on, both Youhei and Chi are learning not to miss their respective bathrooms, and both have at least once accident before finally getting it.

* AdultFear: Episode 25 of the CGI reboot series is a major case of this for anyone who's ever owned both a pet cat and a pet bird. Chi repeatedly tries to eat the parakeet that the Yamadas are pet-sitting, ends up letting it out of its cage, and generally causes a huge mess. It's all PlayedForLaughs, but if you've ever been in that situation, you probably won't find it funny.

** Ann the kitten has grey fur exactly like Chi in the manga, in the CGI series, she has much lighter grey or lilac fur. She is also a blotched tabby, like her mother and as opposed to her 'mackerel' tabby siblings. This is probably to make it easier to tell her and Chi apart.

** Ann the kitten has grey fur exactly like Chi in the manga, in the CGI series, she has much lighter grey fur, (and is an blotched tabby, as opposed to her 'mackerel' tabby siblings) probably to make it easier to tell her and Chi apart.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Goldfish don't have eyelids. Or teeth, for that matter.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Youhei and his parent's hair color would sometimes change in a different story or scene in the earlier volumes of the manga. In the anime, their hair color is completely different most notable for Youhei whose hair was orange in the original manga while his hair is brown in the anime.
** Ann the kitten has grey fur exactly like Chi in the manga, in the CGI series, she has much lighter grey fur, probably to make it easier to tell her and Chi apart.

* {{Isekai}}: Season 2 of the CGI adaptation, strangely enough, dips into this with "Fluffyland," a colorful, physics-defying, [[Creator/DrSeuss Seussian]] world populated by tasty flying fish [[spoiler: as well as more dangerous creatures]] that the kittens find inside of a tree stump.

The manga finally wrapped up in 2015 after it's 11 year run. However, the anime has now gotten a reboot serving as like a sequel to the Madhouse anime, airing in 2016. The reboot's episodes are about ten minutes long as opposed to three, and it has now ended its first season.

* CuteKitten: Chi herself. Many of the other kittens also qualify.
* CatStereotype: Chi fits the "hyperactive" and "friendly" tabby stereotypes, but Kuroino/Blackie doesn't really fit the "black cat" ones. His are [[SubvertedTrope more of a cross between the "orange" and "gray" stereotypes]].

The manga is currently licensed by Vertical, with its first volume released July 2010. Both seasons of the anime were licensed by DiscotekMedia in April 2014.

* AllJustADream: "Cat, Taken Away".
* AnimalReactionShot

* CatSmile: From Chi, naturally.

** Also, [[spoiler: Cocchi is very much a black-and-white cat stereotype.]]

* CheerfulChild: Chi and Youhei.

* ContinuityReboot: The 2016 CGI anime has Chi and family living in the new apartment (or one resembling it), but Blackie is still in the neighborhood and acts as a mentor to Chi, while the animals from ''Chi's New Address'' are nowhere to be seen. Instead, Chi makes friends with a male kitten named Come-Come, along with a few other, less-frequently-appearing cats like sister and brother pair Ann and Telly.
* CoolBigSis: [[spoiler:Tama]]
* CuteClumsyCreature: Chi, Chi, a thousand times Chi.

* DogsAreDumb: [[spoiler: Eventually subverted with]] David.
* [[FestivalEpisode Festival Arc]]: Episodes 70 to 72 of ''New Address''

* FromStrayToPet

* GoodParents: Youhei's parents.
** Chi's mom is another example. She even saves Chi from being hit by a car.

* KindlyVet

* NoNameGiven: The pet store clerk.
** A number of the neighborhood cats also remain nameless, despite apparently becoming good friends with Chi.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Alice.
* TheOjou: Alice.
* PottyEmergency: Chi doesn't get that her litter box is, well, her ''litter box''. Also, a few instances with Youhei. It's interesting to note that the events surrounding this trope is the reason for Chi's name (it's based on the way the Japanese word for "pee" is pronounced)

* PollyWantsAMicrophone: Lucky the budgerigar

* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Kuroino/"Blackie". He comes back for a short time as of Episode 100 of ''New Address''.]]
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The driving focus of the series.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Cocchi and Chi.

* UrineTrouble: Goes with PottyEmergency above.
* WhamEpisode: Episodes 103; doubles as a DramaBomb.

* TalkingAnimal: Similar to {{Garfield}} in that the cats' mouths don't actually move, except for typical cat noises.

* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Kocchi and Chi.

* {{Tsundere}}: [[spoiler:Alice seems like a dignified show cat, but loves chasing after things all the same.]]

* AllJustADream: "Cat, Taken Away"

* DramaBomb: Episode 103 of ''Sweet Home''; [[spoiler: Blackie moves away, leaving Chi devastated.]]

* PottyEmergency: Chi doesn't get that her litter box is, well, her ''litter box''. Also, a few instances with Youhei.
** It's interesting to note that the events surrounding this trope is the reason for Chi's name (it's based on the way the Japanese word for "pee" is pronounced)

* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: Little episode length, big time cute.

** Also, [[spoiler: Kocchi is very much a black-and-white cat stereotype.]]

* DefrostingIceQueen: Kocchi/Come-Come is a tsundere kitten who pretends to be annoyed by Chi, but actually loves playing with her. He slowly warms up to Chi at first, but comes a long way and admits to being her friend after she gets food poisoning from eating some rotten sidewalk-chicken. He remains a tsundere, however.

* GeckoEnding: The first anime ended well before the manga did. As such, it doesn't feature the ending from the manga, which involves [[spoiler: Chi returning to her original family and leaving the Yamadas.]] The 2016 anime ignores the manga ending altogether.

** Kocchi/Come-Come from the 2016 adaptation is a completely straight example of a tsundere, right down to his VerbalTic. Keh.

* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler: Chi eventually meets and befriends her brother and sister, Telly and Ann. However, she still doesn't know they're her siblings and vice-versa.]]
