"Year 24 Group (24\u5E74\u7D44, Nij\u016Byo-nen Gumi) refers to one of two female manga artist groups which are considered to have revolutionized sh\u014Djo manga (girls' comics). Their works often examine \"radical and philosophical issues\", including sexuality and gender issues, and many of their works are now considered \"classics\" of sh\u014Djo manga. Many of those in the first group, Fabulous Year 24 Group (\u82B1\u306E24\u5E74\u7D44, Hana no Nij\u016Byo-nen Gumi), also known as the Forty-Niners, were born in Sh\u014Dwa 24 (1949)."@en .
