explanation: It is the merit of Tezuka Osamu to show that the girls need their own mangas by publishing "Princess knight" in 1953. The world wide success of Sailormoon confirmed the importance of this market. There exist some weekly manga magazines destined to girls such as Nakayoshi and "Shojo Fried".
