List of Year 24 complete manga work in English or Italian

I made this list mainly to myself, but you can easily use it too. I am on a mission to read every Year 24 group manga available, so here I collected:

licensed manga (in English and Italian)

online scans

Every licensed manga has a the name of the publisher too, and you might find the Italian translation easier than the Japanese.

I added an "online" to the ones you can definitely find scanned online. Every title is linked to where to read the story nearby, keep in mind these websites come and go and might have ads.

If you see a licensed title in italics it means that the manga cannot be found anywhere online and scanned (and translated). Or that some short stories in the collection (if it is a collection) cannot be found anywhere online and scanned.

Let's start!

The authors are (in order): Moto Hagio, Keiko Takemiya, Riyoko Ikeda, Ryoko Yamagishi, Yasuko Aoike, Yumiko Ooshima, Minori Kimura, Kihara Toshie.

Hi Izuru Tokoro no Tenshi (1984) - Ryoko Yamagishi

[asnowperson]

Yamagishi Ryoko's Christmas (1976)

I found a nice surprise while I was reading a Yamagishi one shot collection, Christmas (クリスマス, 1987). It's the 27th volume in Kadokawa Shoten's Asuka Comics-Yamagishi Ryoko's Complete Works (山岸凉子全集). See what I'm talking about below:

I can't scan things, as usual.

This volume contains these stories:

1- Tinker Bell (ティンカー・ベル, 1973) 2- Christmas (クリスマス, 1976) 3- Sphinx (スピンクス, 1979) 4- Nightmare (Akumu, 悪夢, 1980) 5- Adashino (化野, 1982)

I had already read Sphinx and Akumu (both are great), but the angel on the cover was so pretty that I still got this volume off Surugaya. The title story, Christmas, has a gorgeous first page:

So gorgeous that they used it on the cover.

Right at the bottom of the last page, there was a little "Original story by Truman Capote" note. And I was like, "Huh? Is it the Capote I know? What's going on?" 10 seconds on Google told me that Yamagishi indeed adapted a Truman Capote story, A Christmas Memory (1956), into manga! That was totally unexpected for me. I hava a soft spot for literature adaptations in manga, so I was overjoyed to discover this one shot. I immediately read the original story too, and now I have further proof that Yamagishi is indeed great.

Only in manga do little boys suffer like that.

It's a very nice adaptation that both feels Japanese and American. The orphan, mean relatives and all are very much 70s shoujo (with Yamagishi's more serious touch, of course). Also, there are additions like Sook's lingering, awkward love to make this more interesting for Princess readers of 1976 AD. And for some reason, the good doggo is named "Buddy" in the manga adaptation instead of the narrator himself, whose name is "George." Also, I must mention that how much I loved that the boy went to a simple boarding school (to have his 70s BL adventure) instead of military school.

Miss Sook's awkwardness, George's love for her, their loneliness is perfectly captured in this little story. As old shoujo fans, we have a very comfy Christmas read right here. Isn't it right that I find this story comfy, even though it's sad? Maybe it's Yamagishi using a grown-up George reminiscing about the old days.

Retro shojo letters set

Artist Macoto Takahashi, Ryoko Yamagishi & setuko.

Im unsure of the other artist but it could possibly be Kitajima Youko.

[scrimblospectrumdisorder]

the lack of vintage yuri is a crime but im grateful for what there is.

[retrosofa]

I remember watching this episode of Sailor Moon and thinking that these characters looked out of place.

I later found out they're probably based on characters from Ryoko Yamagishi's ballet manga Arabesque.

(The name of the ballet instructor, Yamagishi, makes it obvious.)
