o TRANSLATED AND/OR ENGLISH-LANGUAGE MANGA AVAILABLE IN THE USA

     Some manga (Japanese comics) have been translated into English for
the American market.  Those manga which have spun off into anime-related
projects are indicated in parentheses.  [Note:  "American manga" based on
Japanese characters are not included.  That's why CAPTAIN HARLOCK, DIRTY
PAIR and LENSMAN are not listed here.  Also not listed here is NINJA HIGH
SCHOOL, an "American manga" that is only *indirectly* based on Japanese
characters (it is a satirical blend of elements taken from ORANGE ROAD,
PROJECT A-KO, and URUSEI YATSURA).  Manga produced by Japanese creators
in English, however, like MAZINGER, ONI & SAMURAI: SoD are included.]
