Steel Angel Kurumi

Steel Angel Kurumi (2003–2004) is a nine-issue manga series from A.D. Vision, adapted from the popular anime and drawn by the artist collective Kaishaku—primarily Hitoshi Ota and Terumasa Shichinohe. Set in an alternate 1920s Japan, the story follows a young scientist who awakens a powerful, android-like "Steel Angel" with a childlike personality, blending sci-fi action with romantic comedy. This series stands as a key example of early 2000s English-translated manga, capturing the crossover appeal of anime-inspired comics for Western audiences.
