Set in a medieval fairy-tale backdrop, Princess Knight is the tale of a young princess named Sapphire who must pretend to be a male prince so she can inherit the throne. Women have long been prevented from taking the throne, but Sapphire is not discouraged and instead she fully accepts the role, becoming a dashing hero(ine) that the populous is proud of.
The playful cartooning style of Princess Knight is comparable to that of Disney, � la Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Considered by many as one of the first major shojo works, inspiring�comics for girls such as Revoluntionary Girl Utena, Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon for�generations to follow.�A rare�shojo property�from the godfather of manga, Princess Knight has been long considered one of Tezuka's most popular works worldwide.
