I watched it as a child in the late 70s/early 80s and a friedn recently back from Japan also watched it. Hasegawa's comic is as ingrained in the culture of manga as the idea of flying people in capes is ingrained in comic culture in the U.S. Her influence is felt not only in Japanese comics that have a similar tone in storytelling but even in something as simple as the way many mangaka choose to name their characters.
