The original Princess Knight, published 1953-1956, was important for several reasons. It was the first Shoujo manga with an actual storyline. It also was a large influence on the development of the Magical Girl genre, since even though it does not feature a magical girl it's portrayal of a powerful female protagonist was a major influence on the genre. It also influenced later Shoujo manga (mainly from the 60s to the 80s) to explore gender identity and androgyny. This manga, meanwhile, is the remake Osamu Tezuka made about a decade later.
