サファイア リボンの騎士 [Sapphire: Ribbon no Kishi]

A short-lived 2008–2009 revival from Kōdansha, Sapphire: Ribbon no Kishi brings Osamu Tezuka’s iconic gender-swapping princess back to the page in a self-contained, four-issue series. This modern update retains the core premise of a heroine who must masquerade as a male knight to protect her kingdom, while introducing fresh artistic and narrative interpretations. While the original creator had passed, this series stands as a notable tribute to Tezuka’s groundbreaking work, offering a concise, new chapter for longtime fans of the classic Ribbon no Kishi saga.
