傷だらけの天使たち [Kizudarake no Tenshi-tachi]

A short-lived but striking manga series from Shogakukan, Kizudarake no Tenshi-tachi ran for just three issues between 1988 and 1991, offering a compact, emotionally charged story. Its title translates to "Angels with Scars," hinting at a gritty, character-driven narrative that likely resonated with readers for its raw, unflinching tone. Though brief, the series stands as a notable example of late-80s manga storytelling, remembered for its concentrated impact rather than a long-running arc.
