What does Chibi mean?
Chibi ちび or チビ is a Japanese slang word, a combination of Bi & Chisai meaning "short person" or "small child". In English speaking anime and manga fandom, Chibi denotes a style of drawing characters or animals with oversized heads or disproportioned (cute) bodies and also as a means of describing children or small versions of characters.
A big thank you to LoneTiger who has pointed out that the manga *"Dragon Half" contains the "best combination of "Chibi", "Kawai" and "Super Deformed" all separate at times or all 3 combined together"

*"Dragon Half" from mangaka Ryuusuke Mita, is based on the adventures of a half-dragon-half-human girl whose love for a popular dragon-slayer leads her on a quest to find a potion that will make her fully human.

When you have the chance read the Manga "Dragon Half" that is the best combination of "Chibi", "Kawai" and "Super Deformed" all separate at times or all 3 combined together :)
