''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.  

'''Chibi Chibi Lain: The Empire Strikes Back'''  (ちびちびレイン　帝国の逆襲）is a series of <s>six</s> five (?) humorous 4-panel comic strips by [[Yoshitoshi ABe]]. (Sources appear to conflict over whether there are five or six strips.) They feature a chibified [[Lain]] in ridiculous situations, generally acting cute and/or vulnerable. They appeared in the original Restore booklets packaged with Geneon Universal's 2010 Japanese release of Serial Experiments Lain Blu-ray BOX|RESTORE. (that's the thin booklet that documents the restoration process, not the fat one with the sketches.) Funimation's 2012 Limited-Edition BD+DVD release came with an English-translated version of the Restore booklet that did not include the comics.
