Nozomi Witches $@$N$>$_(B$@%&%#%C%A%#%:(B - serialized on Young Jump
1986-present, 42 volumes @ Y500.
Nozomi Witches used to be the number one serial on Young Jump during its
peak around 89-90. During its beginning (vol. 1-5) it concentrated on this
young, talent, ex-actress high school girl who returns from New Zealand,
and she met her next door neighbor Ryotaro. (The 15 year old male lead of
this story.) The next phase of this series is around vol 6-17, with the
main emphasis shifting from Nozomi to Ryotaro as he tries to qualify for
the Seoul Olympics. From vol. 18 on is the current phase of this manga
(which Nobe called Book II). It's about Ryotaro's pro boxing life, and the
parallel life of his boxing friend/enemy/soulmate Yugo Fukuyama. At this
stage the drama side of the story is almost non-existent, and there is
really no suspense between Nozomi and Ryotaro. Character designs also
changed.
