Features: Doraemon is incredibly famous among young readers in China. This modern comic classic, introduced in 1970, has taken the world by storm. The smart and lovable Doraemon—also known as "Ding Dong" or "Robot Cat"—has become a good friend to generations of children. However, in mainland China, the colored versions of Doraemon were still later released. These works were originally colored, and their exciting and humorous stories have never been fully captured in the black-and-white comics. The style of the latter part of this book suddenly shifts to a two-color format. This was also common at the time, primarily to adapt to the guidelines of a certain Japanese magazine [Shogakkan Nishinensei] during that period. In terms of content, the two-color versions mostly feature humorous comics that develop step by step. Perhaps some readers may find the dialogue between Doraemon and Nobita a bit rough, which might feel unfamiliar to fans already familiar with the current animated version of Doraemon. However, this is also a unique characteristic of the ever-changing Doraemon.
