Also
known as “Choppy and the Princess,” the
52-episode anime adaptation of Princess Knight is based upon the
best-selling comic (manga) by legendary
creator Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, Kimba The White Lion) and features animation from Tezuka’s own Mushi Productions. It originally aired
on Japanese television from 1967 through 1968, and its English-language
adaptation was syndicated throughout the United States in the 1970s and 1980s.
In
both anime and manga forms, Princess
Knight was among the first titles geared specifically toward a young female
(shoujo) audience. The original comic
was serialized in Kodansha’s Shoujo Club
anthology magazine, from 1953 through 1956, and its sequel series, Twin Knight, was serialized in
Kodansha’s Nakayoshi anthology in
1958. The two collected volumes of the Princess
Knight manga are currently available to North American readers from
Vertical, Inc., which plans to release the sequel series in Summer 2013.

About PRINCESS KNIGHT, Part 1
Once upon a time, in
the faraway kingdom of Silverland, a princess named Sapphire was born. Thanks
to the prank of a mischievous little angel, Sapphire ended up with both the
blue heart of a boy and the pink heart of a girl. Thus, the new little princess
would be as rambunctious and brave as she was gentle and caring.
However, all was not
well in Silverland. By law, only a son could inherit the throne. So, to stop
the evil Duke Duralumon from being next in line to rule the kingdom, the King
announced to his subjects that Sapphire was a boy!
Now, several years
later, everyone in the kingdom sees Sapphire as a swashbuckling prince. Very
few people know her secret. But the Duke still lurks in the shadows, waiting
for a chance to make his move… So begins the story of Sapphire - the courageous
Princess Knight – as she fends off the Duke’s wicked schemes and fights for
justice and the happiness of her people!
