Caught another shōjo/josei manga version of the thieving gentleman's escapades:
🎩 Lupin Étude is a series by Iwasaki Yōko that's running in Princess GOLD (digital only). Volume 3 of the comic came out a week ago. Like Saitō Chiho's version, it's based on the stories by Leblanc.

During the 1980s shōjo/josei manga boom, when a lot of men read magazines like Ribon or Bouquet too, novelist & critic Takahashi Genichirō (a quirky & amazing person btw) called for the destruction of the wall between junbungaku & entertainment erected by so-called intellectuals.

Bouquet series often had protagonists transitioning from senior high to university & then finding jobs, marrying. Kind of like an in-between space for shoujo-josei manga, tending more toward what we today would call josei manga. (Another clue: no ruby/hiragana kanji readings.)

Like Sanju Mariko, Yuria-sensei no Akai Ito is another great title with an older protag. from Kodansha’s josei mag BE LOVE. I love Yuria, she’s super tough bc her father taught her to be responsible & never leave things unfinished. The human interactions in this manga are A+++
