{{nihongo||少年アシベ|'''Shōnen Ashibe'''|{{lit|Boy Ashibe}}}} is a Japanese [[manga]] series written and illustrated by {{ill|Hiromi Morishita|ja|森下裕美}}. It was serialized in [[Shueisha]]'s [[Seinen manga|{{Transliteration|ja|seinen}} manga]] magazine ''[[Weekly Young Jump]]'' from 1988 to 1994, with its chapters collected in eight {{Transliteration|ja|[[tankōbon]]}} volumes. It describes the daily life of Ashibe, an elementary school boy, and his family and friends, including his [[spotted seal]] pup named Goma-chan.

It received a six-episode [[original video animation]] (OVA) adaptation in 1991, which led to an [[anime]] television series adaptation aired on [[TBS Television (Japan)|TBS]] in that same year; a second season aired from 1992 to 1993. A second manga series, titled ''ComaGoma'', which depicts Ashibe as a second grade student, was serialized in ''Weekly Young Jump'' from 2000 to 2004, with its chapters collected in six volumes.

A second anime television series adaptation, titled ''Shōnen Ashibe Go! Go! Goma-chan'', was broadcast for four seasons on [[NHK Educational TV]] from 2016 to 2019. A manga adaptation of ''Shōnen Ashibe Go! Go! Goma-chan'', illustrated by Junko Ogino, was published in [[Futabasha]]'s ''[[Monthly Action]]'' and Manga Town from 2016 to 2018, and its chapters were collected in three volumes. 

Another manga series illustrated by Shōhei, titled ''Seishōnen Ashibe'', was serialized in ''Monthly Action'', and later on the ''Web Action'' website, from 2017 to 2024. It depicts an older Ashibe as a freshman in high school. In 2020, Morishita started another manga series, titled ''Shō 3 Ashibe QQ Goma-chan'', which depicts Ashibe as a third grade student.
