Through her journey, Maya grows, faces intense training, surmounts obstacles, and ultimately rises to become the top actress of her era by around age twenty.

In 2120, following Earth's near destruction in the final great world war, humanity has expanded to colonize other worlds.

Attacker You! centers on You Hazuki, a spirited and driven 13-year-old junior high schooler from Osaka who relocates to Tokyo after her father Toshihiko, a cameraman back from Peru, brings the family together. You's mother left when she was very young, leaving You to look after her devoted younger brother Sunny, who shadows her everywhere—even to school and volleyball practice. You is also intrigued by Kyushi Tajima, a blonde TV announcer covering volleyball games, and confused by her father's anger whenever the woman's name comes up. With a burning passion for volleyball, You dreams of representing Japan at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. She joins her school's girls' team and rises quickly to the top, though her coach, who also serves as her homeroom teacher, is harsh and physically strikes players who fail to meet his standards. Her relationship with Nami Hayase (known as "Peggy" in the French version), a former school champion turned bitter rival, is rocky from the start, and things reach a breaking point when the two girls sign with opposing professional clubs. Meanwhile, You develops feelings for So Takiki (renamed "Shiro," "Serge," or "Sergio" in different Western adaptations), the captain of Hikawa's boys' volleyball team, and pours as much energy into winning his heart as she does into perfecting her game.

Austral Island sits 2,000 kilometers south of the Samoa archipelago. Its existence has been erased from all official records, prompting Tagami Yu to set out on a voyage to uncover the truth behind this disappearance. He embarked for the island alongside Dr. Waive—a friend of his father—Dr. Waive's daughter Doris, and a man known only as Captain, also a friend of Dr. Waive. During their journey, they came under attack by GAIL, a powerful international conglomerate, and the gangster syndicate Cougar Connection, led by Lady Lynx. Despite the assaults, they succeeded in reaching the island. But soon after landing, a mysterious monster appeared and began attacking them. Just as they resigned themselves to death, a colossal blue robot emerged. It destroyed the monster and saved their lives. Though this entity was far beyond human comprehension, it stirred in Yu a sense of warmth and familiarity. That robot was Giant Gorg, referred to by the island's inhabitants as the "Messenger of the God." Fleeing from the onslaught of GAIL's strike force, Gorg led Yu into the underworld. There, Yu discovered a relic left by aliens and an extraterrestrial being that had awakened after a slumber lasting 30,000 years.

Despite often rejecting the title, the recluse known as "Locke the Superman" is a courteous, immortal esper whose origins remain shrouded in mystery. No one knows when or where he was born, and Locke himself claims to have no memory of these events—though his statement may very well be accurate. During the "Millennium of the Witch" incident, when questioned by Cornelia Prim, he revealed that his home star was named "Toa." Throughout galactic history, Locke has appeared at various times, sometimes directly influencing events and other times merely observing. His esper abilities allow him to learn skills and complete tasks far quicker than ordinary humans. Additionally, these powers grant him eternal youth, enabling him to take the form of a child so that kind families will take him in. Many suspect he maintains this youthful appearance as a way to avoid responsibility for the problems he encounters, relying on the expectation that children are not held accountable for such matters.

Memoru later visits her in secret with her friends Popitu, Rupangu, and Pi, but the human girl, Marielle, appears ill and seems close to death. Feeling sorry for her, a tear from Memoru falls onto the girl's lips. The girl recovers, and a strong friendship begins between them.

Yet Aira pins her hopes on a champion from a different time. She reaches out to Yamato Hino, a seemingly ordinary but highly athletic high schooler living in modern Tokyo. Initially, Yamato dismisses the spectral messages from the youthful queen as hallucinations, but she eventually persuades him to cross through a magical portal into ancient Mu. Soon after Yamato's arrival, Dragonia launches another offensive, but this time the invaders are driven back when the enormous God Mazinger merges with Yamato. Though Mu has achieved a first victory, much work remains. Yamato must also undertake a personal quest, confronting his own flaws and growing into a true warrior to safeguard the kingdom and discover the path back home.

In the distant future, the Moon and Mars have been turned into sites for disposing Earth's hazardous waste and exiling criminals. The lawbreakers settled on the Moon have risen in armed revolt, endangering those who remain on Earth.

However, when a scientific experiment causes the robot to become real, Takashi discovers he must pilot Laserion to defend Earth from the space-based criminals launching an invasion.

Like earlier manga such as Doraemon and Obake no Q-Taro, Gu-Gu Ganmo centers on Ganmo—a chicken-like alien that wears sneakers—as he sets out to help his human friend Hanpeita. The series depicts their humorous adventures and the chaotic predicaments they face. One morning, Tsukune Tsukuda spitefully releases her brother's pet bird, only to regret it later. She returns home with an egg she found, intending to give it to her brother, Hanpeita. At first unimpressed by the unusually large egg, Hanpeita is shocked when it suddenly swells, cracks open, and a bizarre bird-like creature named Ganmo emerges, able to speak like a human. Ganmo ends up living with the Tsukuda family. To avoid being a burden, Ganmo takes on various tasks such as running errands and cleaning the house, though his attempts often create more chaos than order. His efforts to make up for the trouble only lead to further confusion. When a pretty girl moves into the neighboring house with her own peculiar pet, a myna bird named Déjà-vu, Ganmo faces even more ridicule for his odd appearance. Déjà-vu, though stylish, is known for its sharp tongue and constant teasing of Ganmo. As a result, Ganmo finds himself tangled in an ever-growing web of comedic mayhem.
