Mangas
Hamtaro was originally a manga drawn by Ritsuko Kawai. A manga is a Japanese comic, but the meaning for Hamtaro is a bit different. It used to be a "kid-friendly" guide about hamster caring.

In the comics, the little hamster called Hamtaro reflects on his life as a pet. Meanwhile, in each chapter of the manga, there are some tips about hamster care.

Actually, the Japanese mangas are different from the English ones. Thanks to Kristopher, we have the three that were released in English, as well as a few Japanese ones.
