Ubunchu! (うぶんちゅ!) is a comedy manga serialized in ASCII Media Works’ Weekly ASCII and Ubuntu Magazine Japan between May 2008 and June 2013. Its name is a play on words combining the Linux distribution Ubuntu and a Japanese onomatopoeia for a kiss, chu (ちゅ).
Plot
editThe story follows the activities of the three memebers of the Ichinomiya High School’s system administration club. Each chapter is focussed on a certain aspect of the Ubunu operating system or a related topic, such as command-line interfaces, input methods, and software licensing.
Characters
edit- Akane Kisaragi (如月 あかね)
- President of the system administration club, Akane is a *nix evangelist and very knowledgeable about network and Linux system administration.
- Masato Midō (御堂 マサト)
- Vice-president of the system administration club, Masato is a Windows user and very versed in internet culture.
- Risa Shiina (椎名 里沙)
- The system administration club’s only regular member, Risa is a Mac user and not very skilled with computers except for media design.
- Akiha Shinozaki (篠崎 あきは)[2]

editBesides print publication in ASCII Media Works’ magazines, most of the manga’s chapters are freely available online and released under a Creative Commons license. Furthermore a tankōbon was published in 2012 containing the first eight chapters as well as two short extra stories.[3]
