Chiitan is a chapter in the Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy manga series. It originally ran in the Mighty Atom Club magazine's April 1966 issue.
Plot summary[]
One day, Professor Ochanomizu gives Chiitan to Astro and Uran as a present. Ochanomizu begins trying to teach the kids how to properly and safely handle a baby, but Chiitan turns out to have powers of his own and goes out of control.
This chapter is one of the few Astro Boy manga chapters to have never been reprinted. Many of the manga chapters that appeared in Mighty Atom Club were magazine exclusives, and have since stayed that way. "Chiitan" remains exclusive to its original release in 1966 and, thereby is considered to be a "lost" chapter.[1] Some pages have surfaced online after they were scanned by people who owned original copies of the April 1966 issue.
