SAILOR MOON
Takeuchi intended to kill off the main characters in the end, but her editor would not let her, remarking that “[Sailor Moon] is a shōjo manga!” When the anime adaptation was created, the protagonists were in fact killed off, although they came back to life, and Takeuchi held a bit of a resentment that she had not been allowed to do that in her version.

Shadow Star Narutaru
The protagonist of the series is a twelve-year-old girl named Shiina Tamai. She bonds with a starfish-shaped “dragonchild” (baby “shadow dragon”) whom she calls Hoshimaru. The series is mainly about the interaction between Shiina and other young people who have also bonded with dragons.
The manga, especially the original Japanese version, is known for the gruesome material that appears as the plot progesses. Despite the young main characters, cute monster designs, and initial appearances of a shōjo or Pokémon-esque series, the story quickly takes on a much darker and more disturbing tone, with later volumes involving some graphic depictions of gore and sexual violence. The English- and German-language versions of the manga have some edited scenes; entire pages of content were removed from the seventh volume of the English-language release.
