Spirit of Wonder (スピリットオブワンダー Supiritto Obu Wandā?) is a manga series authored by Kenji Tsuruta, originally serialized from 1986 in Kodansha's Morning seinen manga magazine, and later in Afternoon, until 1996.
It was later adapted into a one-episode OVA in 1992, entitled Chaina-san no Yūutsu (チャイナさんの憂鬱?, lit. Melancholy of Chaina-san) (released in North America as Spirit of Wonder: Miss China's Ring), animated by Ajia-do Animation Works 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) (released in North America as Spirit of Wonder: Miss China Short Stories—Shrinking of Miss China and Spirit of Wonder: Miss China Short Stories—Planet of Miss China). In 2004, Bandai Visual released a complete DVD box set release of the entire series in Japan, entitled WONDERBOX, which included the 2001 sequel it produced as well as the earlier 1992 episode. Bandai Visual also released an 11-minute short entitled Cup of China's; this short is only available in the WONDERBOX DVD box set release.
