Fluffy, Fluffy Cinnamoroll (ふわふわ♥シナモン, Fuwa Fuwa Shinamon) is a manga series with the story and art by Yumi Tsukirino and the concept by Chisato Seki. Released entirely in color, and aimed at elementary school children, it uses a Sanrio character, Cinnamoroll ("Cinnamon" in the Japanese version), and was released in North America by the Vizkids line of Viz Media. It was originally serialized in Japan from 2004 through 2008 in the following magazines: Shōgaku Ichinensei, Shōgaku Ninensei, Shōgaku Sannensei, Shōgaku Yonnensei, Shōgaku Gonensei, and Pucchigumi ().

Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy, authors of The Anime Encyclopedia: A Century of Japanese Animation, referred to Fluffy, Fluffy Cinnamoroll as "sugar-sweet".

This series tells the story of a cloud puppy who learns how to fly and moves into a café. The cafe's owner believes that the puppy's tail looks like a cinnamon roll, so the owner gives him the name "Cinnamoroll". He and his friends go on adventures and face the antagonist, a dark cloud named Cavity.

Issue #3 of the comic was #9 on The New York Times manga best sellers list for April 29-May 5.

Rebecca Silverman of the Anime News Network ranked the series "B" overall, "B-" for the story, and "B" for the art. Silverman argued that the book has a "sweet story, simple art, and bright colors" that appeal to its intended audience, although the book would not hold the interest of an adult reader; she stated "All in all," the first two volumes of the series "provide a nice transition from the picture book to the chapter book, or simply an alternative for the reluctant reader."

The series resulted in increased attention towards a Cinnamoroll movie.
