"Totto-chan" was originally published in Japan as a series of articles in Kodansha's magazine appearing from February 1979 through December 1980. The articles were then collected into a book, which made Japanese publishing history by selling 4,500,000 in a single year. The book has been translated into 35 languages. This page is to trace this record-making multilingual text.
