Akane-chan (あかねちゃん, "Little Miss Akane") is a shōjo manga series by Tetsuya Chiba.

It was serialized in Shōjo Friend, published by Kodansha, from April to September 1968. It was adapted into a 1968 Toei anime series with the same name directed by Fusahito Nagaki, Yasuo Yamaguchi, Yugo Serikawa and Takeshi Tamiya, which was originally broadcast on Fuji TV.[1]

According to Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy's The Anime Encyclopedia, it was "deliberately designed to evoke a distant, carefree time of rural childhood for city kids deprived of the opportunity, placing it in the same spirit as My Neighbor Totoro."[1]
