Spirit of Wonder (スピリットオブワンダー Supiritto Obu Wandā?) is a manga series authored by Kenji Tsuchida, originally serialized from 1987 in Kodansha's Morning seinen manga magazine, and later in Afternoon, until 1996.
It was later adapted into a one-episode OVA series in 1992, entitled Chaina-san no Yūutsu (チャイナさんの憂鬱?), animated by Asiadou and released by Toshiba-EMI. It was later followed in 2001 by a new OVA series, produced and released by Bandai Visual, which included two arcs, Shōnen Kagaku Kurabu (少年科學倶楽部? lit. Scientific Boys Club) and Chaina-san: Tanpenshū (チャイナさん 短編集? lit. Chaina-san: Short Stories). In 2004, Bandai Visual released a complete DVD boxset release of the entire series in Japan, entitled WONDERBOX, which included the 2001 sequel it produced as well as the earlier 1992 series.
The complete OVA series has also been broadcast worldwide by the anime TV network Animax, including its English language networks in Southeast Asia and South Asia.
