History
Compared by Animage to an all-girl "Lupin III", Tsukasa Hojo's sexy trio of leotard-clad cat burglars became an instant sensation when it first appeared in "Shonen Jump" in 1981. It ran for eighteen issues, attracting as many female readers as male. The story became an animated television series in 1983, where it proved equally successful with its mix of crime and passion. The same titled opening theme of the series became a hit in its own right, selling over 800,000 copies. The initial thirty-six episodes were followed in 1985 by a second series of thirty-seven episodes which took a lighter tone, concentrating on the love triangle between two of the characters. This was followed by a live-action TV special in 1988, and a live-action feature film in 1997.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
