Majokko Lily

I am fascinated by magical girl terminology and the evolution thereof. After all, the words and phrases we use to describe the facets of this genre had to come from somewhere. Sometimes these origins are unambiguous. For example, the now-defunct Magical Girl Project blog made a series of posts in 2015 examining the history of magical girl transformations, and an early step in that process was coining a bunch of terms for the different types of transformation.

Other times, magical girl word origins aren't so clear cut. Some of these terms have been in use for decades and I can only hazard a guess at how long they've been around based on when they start showing up in completed productions. The term magical girl itself is a pretty direct translation of the Japanese mahou shoujo (literally magic girl), and the first anime to use mahou shoujo in its' title was Mahou Shoujo Lalabel, which began airing in 1980.

Then there's what magical girls were called before that, which doesn't seem to be as solidified. Asahi Sonorama put out a compilation record featuring the protagonists of Toei's first eight magical girl anime, and this record referred to them as mahoutsukai heroines. Mahoutsukai literally means magic user, so it's interesting that Limit and Honey were included in this despite using advanced science and technology. Even as far back as the 70s, magic was not a prerequisite for being a magical girl.

At any rate, a far more common name for this type of character was majokko. Majo is Japanese for witch, while ko has a number of meanings, one of which is girl, and it can be used as a diminutive suffix. As such, majokko can be translated as witch girl or little witch. Like with mahoutsukai heroine above, it's interesting that few of these characters were technically witches, though I suppose that's a matter of semantics. Again, I haven't found an in-depth explanation of where this term came from, so all I have to go on is productions that use it. 1974's Majokko Megu-chan was the first anime to put the word majokko in the title, and for a while I though it may have coined the term. But it turns out, there is a manga that dubbed its' protagonist a majokko about six years prior.

Majokko Lily is a 1968 manga by Kiyoshi Takenaka. An ordinary girl named Deko-chan is given a peculiar-looking doll for her birthday, but it turns out Lily is no doll. She's a witch from the underworld who has come to our world to make mischief. She sets herself up to pose as Deko's younger sister and when the two touch noses, Deko is able to use magic as well.

This set-up has some similarities to later magical girl works, especially Majokko Tickle (which, for context, was created ten years later); however, Lily's character design and power set strike me as quite unique. The above page explains Lily's various magical abilities, and while I don't know nearly enough Japanese to translate it in its' entirety, there are some powers listed on it that I haven't seen in any other magical girl series before or since.

Majokko Lily was published in Shogaku Sannensei, and unfortunately it has been quite difficult to track down exactly when that publication was. As near as I can tell, the debut chapter was printed in the April 1968 issue, given that it was the oldest issue to show Lily on the cover. While I don't have an exact chapter count, a single tankobon volume was released by Mushi Productions as the 6th volume of their Best Comic series on March 25, 1972.

But wait there's more! This manga would receive a direct sequel titled Oshikake Majokko Lily (Oshikake I think in this context would mean uninvited visitor but please correct me if I'm wrong) which ran in Shogaku Sannensei until the March 1972 issue. How the sequel differs from the original, I'm not sure. The tankobon release by Mushi Productions only covered the original series, meaning this sequel has never been printed outside of its' original magazine run. As well, even that one volume has never been reprinted, which has kept awareness of the manga quite low, even in comparison to other titles I've covered here.

Majokko Lily was created by Kiyoshi Takenaka, not to be confused with Kiyoko Takenaka, the latter of whom did the third manga of Bewitched. It is interesting that both created a small handful of obscure shoujo manga around the same time, and I have seen some speculation that they may have been either related or one person using a pseudonym, but as far as I know there's never been any confirmation of this. Personally, my money is on weird coincidence.

Although I can't say this with 100% certainty, Majokko Lily appears to be the first series to use the word majokko in its' title. I doubt Takenaka invented the word, but from there it would show up in the titles of a number of other magical girl stories. This includes early magical girl anime such as Majokko Megu-chan, Majokko Tickle, and Majokko Club, as well as some more recent anime like Majokko Shimai no Yoyo to Nene, not to mention manga that should be showing up on this blog as we get into the 80s and 90s, including Majokko Carnival, Majokko Tenshi, and Majokko Vivian.

Not all of these protagonists are witches in the technical sense, but referring to them as majokko highlights their commonalities to a potential audience. It associates these different works with one another, emphasizing that they're a part of the same genre, and allowing that genre to develop a core viewer base. Even now, the same thing is done with different terms, and it's incredible to look back at how far we've come.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIOTA NAGISA

Thank you, Nagisa, for showing me that being kind and gentle doesn’t mean that you’re weak and also that the parts about you that you hate can be turned into your greatest weapon. You have been a role model for me for the past four years and I strive to be as wise and caring as you. Keep doing what you’re doing, you adorable little assassin, we’re all so very proud of you. 😍😊

Yes, I know that Nagisa’s birthday is during Summer break but shhhhh

(25 unread messages)

Akabane Karma: Hey there Nagi :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLUEBERRY! I can’t believe you are officially older than me. But don’t get your hopes up, just because you’re my elder, doesn’t mean that I will start listening to you. Just to show you how awesome I am, I decided to stay up late so that I can text you exactly at 00:00. But for real, I hope you have an awesome day and I promise to beat up anyone that ruins it for you ;) Nagisa, you are honestly the most amazing person I’ve ever met and you’re seriously like such a sweet and kind and honest and good person and I have no idea how someone as nice and forgiving as you ended up befriending someone as crazy and violent as me. You’re the only person who's never been scared of me and even though you hate violence you still stood by me and never tried to change me and you liked me for me. No one’s ever liked me without expecting me to change and I’ve never felt as comfortable being myself with someone as I have with you. Can’t wait to see you at school today - I got you a present. No I won’t tell you what it is and yes, you’ll definitely love it. See you soon.

Sugino Tomohito: Happy Birthday Nagisa! Hope that you have fun today! I just want to tell you that you are the best best friend that I could ever ask for and I am truly grateful for everything that you have done for me. When I first got kicked down to 3-E and was forced to leave the baseball club, I thought that it was all over but you came along and was the first person to actually sit down and listen to me and you offered to practice baseball with me and honestly, that really made my day. Dude, you are like this amazing blue ball of kindness and like seriously you are brilliant but you don’t nearly give yourself enough credit. I don’t know where you get your low self esteem from or what it is that makes you think that you are worth so little but I promise to remind you that you are cared for every single day until your next birthday and for the rest of your life. Okay, that probably sounded super weird but it’s early and my brain is like 60% baseball memes at this point. At first I hated losing my baseball friends and getting sent to this abandoned building on top of a death mountain but meeting you has made me realise that our crazy assassination classroom™ is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. From the day I’ve met you, you’ve been nothing but loyal and caring. You are the person I can talk and rant to and you’ll never judge me and you always know how to make you smile. And honestly, you are worth 1000 baseball teams. Don’t let your mother get you down. See you in class! Oh, BTW, my little brother says Hi.

Kayano Kaede: HIIIIII NAGISA! HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I got you a gift and I hope you like it and no it’s not pudding but you will be getting some cake from that cafe we visited over the weekend. It’s not easy being the new girl and ever since I’ve joined the class, you’ve been nothing but an awesome best friend and you have always been by my side since the day we decided to have matching hairstyles (which might I say looks so much better on you than it does on me - UNFAIR!) I hope the rest of the year is filled with pudding and happiness and sweets and smiles and everything else you love

Nakamura Rio: Happy birthday to our resident blueberry cinnamon roll! Have a wonderful day ‘Gisa. I’m sure you will when you see what I have in store for you ;). You are seriously the most mature, innocent, pure little bean I have ever met - and definitely the most fun person to play pranks on! Dont worry, as the birthday boy, you shall spend 24 hours completely prank free. Yes, yes I know, I’m the best classmate ever. Dont need to tell me something I already know, sweetie. See you later, my fellow English lover!

Maehara Hiroto: Yo, dude, Happy Birthday! Hope you have fun and enjoy what we’ve got in store for you (no hints!). Like seriously you are legit the most awesome person ever cause you’re so sweet and innocent and can turn into this super awesome secret badass whenever you want to. Youre like the class therapist/medic/person we can always rely on and you never complain when we drive you crazy (cause I know that we do). I’m super proud of you man. Never change Nagisa. See you at school. (BTW - We still up for karaoke next week?)

Isogai Yuuma: Happy birthday Nagisa! Hope you have a wonderful day! I can’t wait to see you in class later. When my siblings found out that it was your birthday, they insisted that they make you a card.You are an irreplaceable member of our class and I’m so happy that you are part of it. Seriously, if it wasn’t for you and your ability to calm people down and talk people out of doing whatever crazy idea they came up with, I’m pretty sure I would’ve lost my mind. You’re always smiling and always participate in class without complaining and you always see the best in everyone. Keep on doing what you do Nagisa, the world could use more people like you. ( Oh and come to the cafe later, I got an iced bun on the house for you)

Fuwa Yuzuki: AAAAAHHHHH HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAGISA! CONGRATULATIONS ON SUCCESSFULLY SURVIVING THIS LONG ON EARTH! OOHH IM SUPER EXCITED FOR YOU TO SEE WHAT I’VE GOT YOU! Thank you for always going along with and listening to my crazy anime/manga rants even when you have no idea whats going on. It’s so much fun hanging out with you cause youre chill and youre always up for anything and apart from Takabayshi you’re the person in the class that get my references the most. Youre an amazing main protagonist and you deserve all of the screentime and lines you get - heck even your own spin-off show. For someone who loves heroes so much, youre doing an amazing job of being one yourself. Youre the best Watson a Sherlock like me could ever ask for and a really good friend for this manga obsessed Otaku! Love you and see you later!

Kataoka Megu: Happy Birthday Nagisa. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the day. As someone whose job is to watch over our … interesting class, having you around makes everyone else bearable. I’m sure that if you aren’t here to keep the peace I would’ve murdered Okajima months ago. You have always been really respectful and kind and I appreciate having someone as hard-working and loyal as you in my class. I always enjoy having our talks about equal rights and you have always been like a little brother to me (honestly, I prefer you over my actual older brother). See you later and please continue to stay the way you are.

Okano Hinata: Hey there Nagisa. Happy Birthday! How’s it going, little dude! Hope you enjoy yourself and have lots of fun today. Thank you for being one of the only boys that I can actually stand. You are such an amazing person to have in the class and you’re amazing at being someone that we can all come to when we’re upset. Plus you let us brush your amazing godly hair (seriously I’m jealous at how nice it is). If any main campus kids try to ruin this special day - come to me and I’ll sort them right out :)

Kurahashi Hinano: HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAGISA! I HOPE YOU HAVE LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN TODAY AND EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU SO THAT I CAN GIVE YOU YOUR PRESENT IN PERSON AND THE BIGGEST BIRTHDAY HUG EVER! YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON AND I (AND EVERYONE ELSE) LOVE YOU SOO MUCH OKAY I HAVE TO GO NOW BUT BYEEEE

Kimura Masayoshi: Hey Nagisa! Happy Birthday! Can’t wait to see you at school!

Mimura Kouki: Happy Birthday Nagisa :) wish you the best :)

Yada Touka: Happy Birthday Nagisa! I hope you have a fun-filled day! You are a really sweet and nice person and I enjoy hanging around with you - especially when you join us girls on our girl trips to the mall. You’re like a little brother to me and I always feel comfortable when I’m with you. Love you and hope you have a nice day <3

Takabayashi Koutarou: Happy Birthday Nagisa. I hope that you enjoy yourself.

Hayami Rinka: Happy Birthday Nagisa

Okajima Taiga: Happy Birthday Nagisa. You are such an incredible person to have in the class. And thank you for always saving me from the girls when they get mad at me. Hope you have fun. I was going to give you some really cool magazines but when the girls figured it out they slapped me and said that they’d tie me up in the middle of the mountain and leave me there if I did so I’m just gonna give you something else that I made (with Sugaya’s help). I’ll show you it at school - I hope you like it.

Kanzaki Yukiko: Happy Birthday Nagisa. I hope you have a nice day and thank you for being such a good and reliable friend. See you at school.

Yoshida Taisei: Happy Birthday Nagisa! I’m so sorry for the grenade incident earlier and I am so happy Koro-Sensei saved you. Also like you are one tough guy, you know that right? Cause what happened with Takaoka, man you couldve beaten any of us up with your eyes closed any time. Stay awesome dude. See you at the mountain

Hara Sumire: Happy Birthday Nagisa. I’ve made some sushi just for you. I hope you like it. As your official unofficial mother, I hope you have fun today and I can’t wait to see you later.

Sugaya Sosuke: Happy Birthday Nagisa. Thank you for being around and seeing the good in all of us even when we don’t see it ourselves. You always know how to inspire us and you are going to be an awesome grown up when you’re older. You always appreciate everyone and you know exactly how to pick us up when we’re down. I hope you like your present (you’ll get it later)

Okuda Manami: Happy Birthday Nagisa! I hope you have a wonderful day today. I just want to say thank you for being my friend and always encouraging me and helping me. You always know how to cheer me up and include me. See you at school.

Chiba Ryuunosuke: Happy Birthday Nagisa

Hazama Kirara: Happy Birthday fellow literature lover. I really enjoy talking about gothic literature with you - your analysis of themes and context is always very insightful and interesting and I enjoy spending time with you. If you ever need to escape, you can always come to me. PS - my offer to curse your mother is still up.

Muramatsu Takuya: Happy Birthday Nagisa. Hope you have fun. I made you some ramen (don’t worry its not my dad’s recipe so you’ll be good)

Terasaka Ryouma: Sup Shiota, Happy Birthday. I just want to say that I’m really sorry for being an a**hole and treating you like a jerk - especially forcing you to wear that grenade at the beginning of the year. You’re really good at assassination and you’ve got some serious moves. I dont really know what to say but you can always hang out with my gang whenever you want.

Thanks to quarantine, I finally sat down and read the compilation of Shigeto Ikehara’s Majokko Megu-chan manga. I bought this on Amazon a few years back (I think in 2015?) and never actually sat down and read the whole thing. Sheer laziness on my part! But with the pandemic and all, I was looking for things to fill my time, and reading this seemed like a good idea.

Ikehara drew a few Megu-chan manga in a number of magazines when the anime was airing. This commonly gets mistaken for the “original manga” but it’s really one of many tie-ins. The anime isn’t based on an existing manga. Ikehara’s manga was the only one that got collected in tankobon format back in the 70′s, so it’s the most widely recognizable.

The “main” manga he wrote is more or less identical to the anime. Changes are minor. Some chapters are based on anime episodes, while others are original. The manga mostly focuses on Meg and the kids, everyone else is reduced to smaller roles. The Queen gets a design overhaul and is far more interesting and hands than in the anime. Ikehara’s Chousan is much more tolerable. His creep factor is reduced and the sexual harassment has been severely toned down. For some reason Mami’s name is changed to Maman, the French word for “mama.”

So does the manga hold up to the anime? Kinda. It’s not really amazing but it’s not horrible or anything. The artwork is beautiful, although it’s drastically different looking than the anime. Ikehara was a pupil of Tezuka, which is super apparent in his drawing style. There are a lot of times where Meg looks like Melmo or Uran.

The human drama is still there but it’s not as profound as it was in the anime. Ikehara opted to exclude a lot of magical characters from the anime. Missed opportunities by not featuring Meg’s old classmate Leon or Saturn. Meg’s classmate Emi appears in one chapter but is a very different character from her anime counterpart. Roko still appears a couple of times. Meg also gets a new love interest, Daisuke, who’s obviously inspired Danny Hamilton from the anime. Non’s role in the manga is severely downplayed. I only remember her being in a few chapters. This is shame because Non is such a great character, and phasing her out was a bad move.

The tone of storytelling (much like the anime) kind of varies. You get serious chapters, like Meg dealing with confronting her “human” emotions. Then there are super fluffy stories, like Rabi wanting to get celebrity autographs. There’s also a super weird chapter where Apo has a crush on Meg’s classmate and the ending reveals the feelings are mutual. Yuck.

The ending for the manga is identical to the anime. Meg and Non have finished their training and are summoned back to the magic world. Meg refuses, which leads into another conflict with Non. Once they finally return, Meg defies the Queen, saying she has no desire to be her successor. The Queen imprisons Meg for her impenitence. Wanting to go back to her family, Meg cries, which frees her from the Queen’s spell. She turns into a swan and flies away. The Queen is left astonished and declares Meg is surely fit to be her successor. Meg happily returns home for Christmas dinner.

Now, while I absolutely love the anime’s ending, I felt that having Meg face off against the Queen felt much more conclusive. It just makes sense. Unlike the anime, the fates of Non and Chousan are left up in the air.

The rest of the book features comics from other magazines. They were all geared towards younger readers and thus didn’t really have much of a story line. Some were just 4Koma. Most of these were done in color but it seems as though the manuscripts were lost, so most of the chapters were sourced from photocopies.

The Ichinensei manga stuck out to me the most, since it was pretty different from the anime. In this version, the entire Kanzaki family knows Meg is a witch. Despite being the most lighthearted of all the other versions, it depressingly ends with Meg leaving the human world forever. Go figure.

There’s also a new all-color one shot drawn by Ikehara. It’s a short story about Chousan invading Apo’s dreams and giving her nightmares. It’s okay. The digital coloring is kind of dreadful and the whole thing feels unnecessary.

Despite it not being as good the anime, I’d definitely recommend it to magical girl fans. You can usually find it for cheap online and it has so much content! If anything, it’s worth picking up for the gorgeous artwork alone.

Also, it’s very easy to read. LOL.

Si Mitsuru-sensei wishes us a good Golden Week. And this is also a reminder that there is an exhibition of the magazine publishing Megu Tsugu, Qpa, from April 24th to May 12th.

Also, a fan made these keyholders and sent them to sensei. Aren't they cute? I wish that fan had made a mistake with the address and had sent them to me instead...
