Gokinjo Monogatari

A shojo manga classic from the 1990s, Gokinjo Monogatari follows a group of fashion-school students navigating love, friendship, and artistic ambition in Tokyo's trendy Harajuku district. Originally serialized in Ribon magazine, this series is best known as the work of manga artist Ai Yazawa, who would later achieve global fame with Nana. Published in Germany by Egmont Ehapa in a compact seven-issue run from 2005 to 2006, it offers a warm, stylish prelude to Yazawa’s signature themes of youth and self-discovery.
