Usage of Second Hand Love

edit

The title Second Hand Love can refer to one of two of the following:

  • The 1986-1987 manga series by Murasaki Yamada
  • The manga collection titled as such by Drawn and Quarterly: The majority of the collection is taken up by A Blue Flame (titled A Shimmering Pale Color or Yurari Usuiro in Japan).

The two manga were published together in Japan under the title Yurari Usuiro, referring to the longer/bigger series, while in Canada they were published in English under the Second Hand Love title.

The title here, and the article subject, is about the latter (both reliable secondary sources cover the whole collection), while including the former!

If there's confusion, I'm happy to help to try to disambiguate between the 1986-1987 series, and the collection including it.

I didn't put the collection under "Category:1986 manga" but I redirected Second Hand Love (1986 manga) ‎ specifically so I can put the redirect (referring specifically to the 1986-1987 series) under that category, and then the target is not in the category (as the target refers to the wider collection including it).

I see on some Japanese blogs that the main character in Bed In is Ichinose Emi (一ノ瀬絵美, in Japanese order as per Holmberg's translations of Yamada's works) and the man is Kobayashi Haruji (小林春士), but I do not know if the original Japanese manga uses the same characters for the same names. Some Japanese editors may help determine that. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:05, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
