QPQ:
Overall: Earwig flagged one webiste. I added an image. @Morgan695: if you don't like it, feel free to swap it with another. A manga article should have a good image. The date may be wrong in the hook. The article says 1970s. Are there any other hooks you'd like to suggest? This one is somewhat boring. --evrik ^(talk) 23:44, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

@Evrik: Corrected date in ALT0 and added some alt hooks. It looks like Earwigs is pinging a website that is just scraping the text of the article, so I don't think that's a copyvio concern. I removed the image, as it illustrates josei manga rather than the topic of this article. Morgan695 (talk) 16:19, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

@Morgan695: Can you recommend any image? --evrik ^(talk) 16:34, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

@Evrik: I don't believe any of the images in the article lend themselves well to hooks. Morgan695 (talk) 16:59, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

@Morgan695: Okay, are there any other shōjo images on the commons we can add? What about File:NAKAYOSHIi1954年12月創刊号（1955年1月号）.jpg?--evrik ^(talk) 17:16, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

@Evrik: That image is ineligible as it is not in the public domain in the United States; it's also not used in the article. Did I miss some sort of policy change obligating DYKs to have images? I don't believe this nomination needs an image. Morgan695 (talk) 17:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

No, there is no such requirement. Manga is such a visual form of communication, it seemed there would be a good image to accompany the nomination. --evrik ^(talk) 17:37, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Pass. --evrik ^(talk) 17:37, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Fair point, the issue is just that the vast majority of manga artwork is copyrighted. Morgan695 (talk) 20:50, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
