This manga seems to indicate there is not – behold the the struggle of the adorable little cockroach Gokicha-chan as she struggles to make friends with humans after moving to frigid Hokkaido to escape the unfortunate reputation her species enjoys in the Kanto region.
Spotted in Akiba, the manga oozes moe much as a newspaper smashed cockroach’s corpse oozes ichor:

Some roach are moe, but another Roach are hardcore, storming gulag and not afraid with anything. Good thing this Roach has Soap.
die sir
2-D cockroaches are better than the real ones and 3-Ds.
Now is the right time to say "3DPD".
name is 『!!』
I'm sorry, but that thing would still get a broom to the face. Or a shoe if a shoe is closer.
now i want to see an moe alpaca (who acess nico douga will know), they could make that?
You fiend!
cockroaches are smaller country when seen them in warmer area's they are like 5X bigger and uglier
I agree. Shes pretty cute, but the real cockroaches are gross!
MOE MOE COCKROACH, START!!
Oh please make Chuck Norris moe
Cockroaches are now moe.
I hate roaches I kill on site and chase them down if they escape my first attack
But moe cockroach!?! But she's so cute I couldn't bring myself to kill her.. but she's a roach but so cute......ERROR ERROR a logic error has occurred in the brain and will now shut down
I'm so confused right now
I have a tarantula named Rosy. We used to let it out of her tank to eat cockroaches. Ah, good times (>^^)>.
i see it, it dies...
Shiet. It's actually.... cute. Kind of reminds me of that Joe and the cockroaches movie.. Or something like...
This manga sounds like something PETA came up with so people would stop crushing cockroaches.
A roach is fine too...
I don't care how much moe it is, I FUCKING HATE COCKROACHES >:(
I want a moe giant roundworm. NAO!!!
Well, sorry, but that's ridiculous. It's extremely easy to make something moe when you give it HUMAN FORM! That's not a moe cockroach, that's a moe human girl with a hat. A turd could become moe like that! Just draw a pretty girl with a turd hat. C'mon!
The real challenge would be making things moe without changing their nature. That I'd like to see.
Sorry sir, but that's how it works. It's Japan, so it means you take something and make it into a loli. If you want just nice looking bugs then watch US cartoons.
Japan used to have more creativity. *sigh*
Make it look simply a Human because the target marketing is a Human sir.
I think most of people love this design and manga can sale a lot
that a real creative.
BURN THE SPIDERS BURN BURN BURN BURN BURN
Must...kill it.... There are somethings you just shouldn't try to make moe...
The formula isn't really that amazing. Trying to pass off something disgusting as cute is just insulting.
Kill it(cockroach) with fire.
Cockroaches make wonderful friends!
"And you flew all the way there right?...That makes you a flying cockroach."
You're trolling like a Cockroach.
kill it.
4koma + Moe + Random Subject (Roach)?
Inb4KyoAni TV series.
Until they try to come up with a moe anthropomorphised Deep Horizon oil spill, debate is still open on whether or not there's anything Japan can't make moe.
And even though part of me wants to go "Dude, wtf?" the majority of my brain is going "D'awwwwwww" at this 'Gokicha-chan'.
The detail of the art in that first pic is awesome, too. The tatami mats, and the console games... Wouldn't surprise me if it were just a photo run through ComicStudio's 2D Line and Tone filter.
I wouldn't mind a copy of this.
Wow, she is, as the American slang expression goes, "as cute as a bug!"
Now I remember "Used Gomu-chan"...
Gomu = rubber, slang for co...condoms
If cockroach were this cute...I don't think I would mind my house being infested... ;~;
If I have a beam rifle, I'll shoot at any cockroach in sight !
I'd hit that!!
I'm at shop.melonbooks.co.jp/shop/sp_ruitomo_g but I lack the moonskills needed to purchase it. Anyone feel like giving a guide on how to buy this without being able to read Japanese. Also would they ship overseas? Google translate didn't fare very well..
Or if someone could find me the email to the circle/author that would do just as well even.
I kinda feel so sorry for the cockroach girl. Hopefully the author doesn't intend to make the girl's life a living hell.
How about a moe mecha?
Been done a thousand times over.
That's cool. Seconded.

Here's a loli-DFC-cateared-MagicalGirl combo.
I never like cockroaches and when I see them I crush them, immediately, before they remember that they can fly. Yes, asian cockroaches can fly even though they seem like they forget that they can.
nonetheless, this manga seems interesting, but it won't change my mind of real cockroaches though.
I guess if someone was to cosplay as the cute roach then they would have to pray no one cosplays as a can of bug spray.
Science is yet to answer that question.
im just waiting for the hentai version when she finds a normal person that would have se with her,,
we can finally see a guy having sex with a small cockroach
I may never love cockroach... but
dang that character is cute!
Rule 34 yet?
So, does that me we get to watch her lay eggs?
