I had not heard about "Princess Knight" until you mentioned it.
What is it about?

Princess Knight was one of the first shoujo manga, and it became the
first shoujo anime; naturally, it's by Osamu Tezuka. The first 6 volumes
are to have been released in Kodansha Bilingual Edition by the end of
this month. Princess Knight is the story of Prince(ss) Saphire, who, due
to the 'assistance' of a well-meaning but thoughtless cherub, has been
given both a boy's heart and a girl's heart. The boy's heart makes her
gallant and valliant, while the girl's heart makes her gentle and kind.
The English translation can't readily indicate the 'gender' of the speaker
the way Japanese does, but the translator did make an effort in that
direction.

Ah ha! "Ribon no Kishi" is the Japanese title, is it not? I remember
seeing some anime episodes of that when I was little, in Korea (under the
title of "Prince Sapphire", in case anyone was interested)...I had no idea
what the story was about, since I didn't watch too many episodes of
it and I was rather young...actually, I was unaware that there was a
continuing story to the show -_-;
There's a bilingual release of the manga?
