Princess Comet (コメットさん, Kometto-san) is a manga series created and illustrated by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, the creator of Tetsujin 28-go and Giant Robo, which went on to inspire two Japanese TV drama series and an anime series. The series, which tend to have each their individual plots, revolve around an alien in the form of a young woman arriving on Earth and becoming a guardian to some young children, while using magical powers. The manga was first serialized in Shueisha's monthly Margaret magazine from July to November 1967, marking as one of Japan's first Magical girl series produced. The most recent entry, the 2001 anime Cosmic Baton Girl Comet-san ☆ (Cosmic Baton Girl コメットさん☆, Cosmic Baton Girl Kometto-san) tells the story of Comet, one of the princesses of the Triangle Nebula who came to Earth in search for a missing prince.
