New Pick! - Jigoku de Mes ga Hikaru by Takashina Ryouko (1973)
We proudly bring you a shoujo maddo scientisto story from a very prolific shoujo artist, Takashina Ryouko: Jigoku de Mes ga Hikaru (A Scalpel Glints in Hell).
I, the translator, have decided to pick this up after reading Julia Popek's article on 70s shoujo manga artists in the French magazine Animeland's issue no. 250 dedicated to Rose of Versailles. Barely two minutes after I read that a shoujo Frankenstein exists, it was in my shopping cart. We are lucky that Nakayoshi decided to reprint the first edition to celebrate its 60th anniversary. Let's hope more old shoujo get this treatment.
