List of chapters in Leave it to Chota

This listing contains all chapters that were published in the series Leave it to Chota, as well as notes on if they were reprinted and what changes occurred.

As the series has no current comprehensive reprint, there may be cases of missing chapters or incorrectly-ordered content in whatever reprints that had previously existed (most notably Akebono's "Complete Works" volumes).

1. **"Handyman Store Starting Business"** (べんり屋開業, October 1963)- For whatever reason, this chapter is placed at the start of "Complete Works" volume 2. The original frontispiece featuring Chota's early design has not appeared anywhere after the original magazine serialization, with it instead replaced by a page of a much later-drawn Chota's face and the chapter title.
