Description

This listing includes the original 1969 comic book featuring the character "Shino", a farmer's daughter transformed into the "shadow" of "Natsu Hime". It describes the original version of the work, which is more about tragic love and heartbreak than horror, contrasting it with later editions like the 1972 Akita Shoten Sunday Comics version that altered the cover to feature Natsu Hime prominently instead of Shino. This specific item is a GIGA premium listing meant for true collectors, and the seller states that they will not lower the price for some time due to its rarity. The book was originally serialized in "Shōjo Friend" between 1968 and 1969 and is confirmed to have been published in 1969 based on data from various sources. The dimensions are 18.2×12.8×2.2 cm, with 171 pages and no missing pages.
