Roses and Sparkles

Some of the series that ran in those old issues of Shoujo Friend…

Some old (mostly from the 1960’s) covers of Shoujo Friend magazine

A bunch of covers by Uehara Kimiko. I’ll never understand that wacky “tongue flapping-out-of-mouth-smile” seen in so many 70’s titles :)

SHIGA Kimie also has some interesting manga covers.

Some art by Asaoka Ruri. Her covers are quite lively! Lots of kicking and slapping going on here…

Some more Akamatsu Setsuko covers. She certainly has a certain hairstyle/pose she likes to draw!

Art by Akamatsu Setsuko

Some art by Mizuno Hideko. She was awesome~

Some more great old covers. Man, that ballerina one looks evil~

Imagine how well this cover would go over with parents here. XD
