Incredible drawing of pirate Honey from the back cover of my new second volume of Honey Honey’s Great Adventure (ハニーハニーのすてきな冒険).

Tap Dancers in Boater Hats, Bow Ties, and Dancing Canes

Does this manga chapter of Honey Honey no Suteki na Bouken have to do with Broadway dancing, jazz dancing, tap dancing, or none of the above? Your call.

This is the full-color image on the back of my edition of the first volume of the manga for Honey Honey’s Great Adventure (ハニーハニーのすてきな冒険). That cat is everything to me.

It really throws me off that Honey Honey’s Great Adventure (ハニーハニーのすてきな冒険), or at least this edition, does not have chapter breaks at all.

This is the end of the first volume of Honey Honey’s Great Adventure (ハニーハニーのすてきな冒険). One of the most significant things about it that I haven’t mentioned up to this point is that the creator, Hideko Mizuno (水野英子), was one of the very earliest successful manga artists. She worked closely with Osamu Tezuka (手塚治虫) and then went in to do her own work to much acclaim.

I have to say, I did not enjoy the Around the World in Eighty Days movie as much as I did the novel. The pacing wasn't as pleasing and the cultural stereotypes felt heavier for me.

On the plus side, thanks to a close friend of mine, I was able to locate a confirmatory citation that suggests Around the World in Eighty Days (80日間世界一周) was indeed an influence on Honey Honey's Great Adventure (ハニー・ハニーのすてきな冒険).

My friend from Japan arrived yesterday and brought me such a great haul!

I realized after making my post about the final chapter of Super Mimiko (スーパー・ミミ子), I realized I have two more things to do with that series. First, as I mentioned, I want to post some of the full-color cover images, and, second, I have to figure out what words Suzuki-san (鈴木さん) used that are now considered offensive such that the publishers felt the need to include a disclaimer at the end of the reprinted volume.

Anyway, that’s all for the future. For now, the book I brought to entertain me on this work trip I’m on is the first volume of Honey Honey’s Great Adventure (ハニーハニーのすてきな冒険) by Hideki Mizuno (水野英子). Many magical girl fans may recognize the creator’s surname (pseudonym?) as being the same as Sailor Mercury’s surname in Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon (美少女戦士セーラームーン). Anyway, Honey Honey is not a magical girl manga. I don’t think there are any magical elements, although I have never read it so we’ll see. Still, I’m interested in it as a magical girl-adjacent story centering on a young girl protagonist having fantastic adventures, and, from what I understand, it had a major influence on shoujo manga overall, including the magical girl genre.

Pictured is the cover of the edition I have.
