Children's manga (子供向け漫画, Kodomomuke manga^?) and children's anime (子供向けアニメ, kodomomuke anime^?), are Japanese terms which literally mean "manga (or "anime", respectively) directed towards children". Children's manga are also known by the word "Kodomo", or "child". These works are noted for stories that are often very moralistic, teaching children how to behave as good and considerate people and helping them to stay on the right path in life. The episodes are generally stand alone and non-episodic in order to appeal to a child. They are very fun to read, and are directed towards a toddler audience.

Doraemon by Fujiko F. Fujio is one of the most notable examples for this manga/anime genres.
