'''Chibi Chibi Lain: The Empire Strikes Back''(ちびちびレイン 帝国の逆襲)is a series of 6 humorous 4-panel comic strips by [[Yoshitoshi ABe]]. They feature a chibified [[Lain Iwakura]] in ridiculous situations. Five of the strips were originally included in the liner of the LaserDisc and VHS releases of the Serial Experiments Lain [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|anime]]. The second strip was not included, mentioned as a "deleted scene" in the third. However, all six strips are published in the original [[Omnipresence in Wired]] artbook.
