There was this 80s girls publication in Edinburugh that had 70s shoujo manga published in it?

Question

Anyone know its name? I really want to buy some old copies for nostalgia's sake. I think it was a book, not sure...

The images features cutesy shoujo girls that looked somewhat like this:

Answer 1

Can't remember a specific edition of a publication from over 30 years ago, sorry.

Shōjo or shoujo (少女, Shōjo or shoujo?) is a term used in English to refer to manga and anime aimed at a female audience between the ages of 10 and 18. The term is a transliteration of the Japanese 少女, literally lesser, or little, girl. The genre is stereotyped as melodramatic stories of romance usually with a female protagonist, and drawn in a flowing style where beautiful characters with huge, intricately drawn eyes become spontaneously surrounded by flowers, stars, and/or bubbles. Shōjo works, however, cover a huge range of subjects, from historical drama to science fiction and by no means do all adhere to the same artistic sensibilities or conventions. In the end, it is not a style or a genre but a demographic.

Answer 2

I can't find any reference to what you are looking for but it may have been "shoujo manga "phonebook" magazine". Heres a couple of links to early publications that you might recognise.
