@ruby_ruberri Shonen Domei also made its television debut in the Inazuman TV series from 1973. However, this version of the Shonen Domei bears more of a resemblance to another Ishinomori manga called Mezzon Z, which it took inspiration from for the uniforms.
Ishinomori used a similar motif of a story taking place in past, present and future in his Ryu Trilogy. Even though Ryu is a different character in each series, Ishinomori saw them as part of a roman fleuve. Each story flows through time like a river over different generations.
This was a groundbreaking work published in Shojo Club back in 1962. According to Ishinomori, vampire stories were uncommon in Japan at the time. The plot is also a mix of different genres, including horror, romance and science-fiction, one of the trademarks of his shojo stories.
I made the epilogue chapter as an afterthought to the original comic strip and as a bridge between it and the Interdimensional Hide-And-Seek. I still have plans to storyboard some sort of pilot episode recounting events from the original Mutant Nina.
@ruby_ruberri Marippe is the heroine of the series, which was first published back in 1965. Marippe and her boyfriend Rokube were occasionally revisited by Ishinomori during the 70s and 80s alongside other characters such as Sarutobi Ecchan and Hoshi no Ko Chobin.
Today we have a colored piece for my Ishinomori Girls Illustrations: Marippe from Kinnaru Yatsura! Many thanks to @ruby_ruberri for the wonderful colors! #石ノ森章太郎 #石森章太郎 #気ンなるやつら #スタジオ・ゼロ
Ecchan and Miko were also an inspiration for Nina and Ellie. These kind of hairstyles were especially popular among 60s girls and heroines.
