The series originally started out as a manga in the early to mid-1970s. The story is about a 16-year-old girl, Nanako Misonoo (御苑生奈々子, Misonoo Nanako), who attends a prestigious academy and deals with life as a high school student via writing letters to her "brother". The manga has never been officially released in English, though it has been translated into French, Italian and Polish. The series spans 39 anime episodes and three manga volumes, ending when Nanako is eighteen.
