Description
This is the original version of Princess Knight that was serialized in Shojo Club from 1953-1956. The 1963 version, serialized in Nakayoshi was completely redone from the ground up.
Set in a medieval fairy-tale type setting, this is the story of young Princess Sapphire. When Sapphire is in heaven waiting to be born, a mischievous cherub named Tink accidentally gives her a second heart, and the young girl is born with both the brave and adventurous blue heart of a boy, as well as the loving and caring red heart of a girl.

Realizing a mistake has been made, God sends Tink to earth with instructions to retrieve the blue boy’s heart. However, Princess Sapphire has been born into the Kingdom of Silverland, where only a male heir can inherit the throne, so retrieving the boy’s heart is no easy task. In order to keep the evil Duke Duralumin from becoming next-in-line to the throne, the king and queen announce that a prince has been born – forcing Sapphire into a life of deception. Sapphire was inspired by the Takarazuka Revue all-female theatre troupe, of which Tezuka was a long-time fan.

Some examples being Katsuji Matsumoto's Kurukuru Kurumi-chan from 1938 and Shosuke Kurakane's Anmitsu-hime from 1949 in addition to a myriad of others. Less...
