Chibi Chibi Lain

Chibi Chibi Lain: The Empire Strikes Back (ちびちびレイン　帝国の逆襲）is a series of six humorous 4-panel comic strips by Yoshitoshi ABe. They feature a chibified Lain in ridiculous situations, generally acting cute and/or vulnerable and often weeping excessively. They appeared in the original Restore booklets packaged with Geneon Universal's 2010 Japanese release of Serial Experiments Lain Blu-ray BOX|RESTORE. Funimation's 2012 Limited-Edition BD+DVD release came with an English-translated version of the Restore booklet that did not include the comics.

The artist Gomennasai has written some similar 4-panel comic strips which may have been inspired by ABe's Chibi Chibi Lain. Refer to Fanworks.

There are two other full-page color comics that appeared in the original Restore booklet. The first is 8 panels long, the second is 20 panels. They can be glimpsed momentarily in this unboxing video. Little is known about the first comic; the second comic is confirmed as being included in the original Omnipresence artbook, but not in the ab# rebuild.
