Unfortunately it didn’t run long and didn’t get an anime, which is a shame. The artwork is energetic, the characters likable, and the tempo brisk. It would have been fun to see this air alongside the Sailor Senshi at some point in the 90s!

In a huge leap from Shinohara-sensei’s “Umi no Yami, Tsuki no Kage” this one is a super silly but expressive action/comedy with a bit of romance sprinkled in. Considering the time period, it might have been Shogakukan’s answer to Sailor Moon, lol.

Part two of reading older (80’s-90’s) Shogakukan Shojo (Maybe this‘ll become a series of threads?) This time we’ll highlight Yukako Iisaka’s “Battle Girl Ai.” 16 year old Ai Kagami is killed in a car crash but is rebuilt as a heroine to do battle (heh) against the evil organization “Black Lizard.”

With Ruka's ability to infect and possess others, the plot goes places fast. I dig the trippy visuals and how unhinged Ruka gets. I'm around volume three now, but I'm enjoying it. If only Red River's license had opened the door for this one to get picked up...

Twin sisters Ruka and Rumi are into the same guy. He seemingly chooses Ruka, but before she can reciprocate, a virus infects the two, giving them psychic powers. Rumi takes this chance to violently keep everyone away from her love interest, including her sister.

Been reading 80s-90s Shogakukan Shojo lately and ran across "Umi no Yami, Tsuki no Kage" by the "Red River" artist Chie Shinohara. The series ran for 18 volumes in Shogakukan's Sho-comi magazine from 1987 to 1991 and had a 3-episode OVA.

(Thread hopefully today) in the meantime to clear up some confusion, Kai-hen Wizards’ serialization is similar to HXH’s where a set of chapters runs consecutively, after which the series goes on hiatus for a bit. Sunday refers to this as “series” serialization. (1/2)

And here’s another one with (from right) Mitsuru Adachi, Yuuji Yokoyama, Kenjiro Hata, Gosho Aoyama and Kazuhiko Shimamoto! Sunday Royalty paying respects to the queen. (Why does Aoyama always look like he doesn’t want to be there? Is it jealousy? 😂)

Frieren is still making her rounds and this time it’s Kazuhiko Shimamoto who has her in his embrace. He seems happier to see her than Aoyama was for some reason… 🤔
