Osamu Tezuka is widely celebrated as the "Godfather of Manga,” and is renowned for revolutionizing the Japanese manga and anime industries with his imaginative characters, pioneering storytelling techniques and prolific output, which included more than 700 manga works and 500 anime episodes, including groundbreaking works like Astro Boy, Princess Knight, and Kimba the White Lion.

The Prime Rose manga was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Champion from July 1982 to June 1983. However, when the anime project was initially proposed, the manga had not yet finished, so a new story was written specifically for the film. During the early 80s, there was a lot of popularity among manga fans in Japan for fantasy-adventure manga featuring cute girls. Tezuka was intrigued but resisted numerous reader requests for more “fan service” featuring Prime Rose. He eventually moved on to other projects but in 1983, his manga was adapted into the feature-length animated film, with Prime Rose portrayed as he had originally intended her. Prime Rose also appeared in Astro Boy: Omega Factor, where she had a prominent role as Daichi Tokugawa's girlfriend and the daughter of Acetylene Lamp.
