The Heart of Thomas
- ... that the live-action film adaptation of the manga series The Heart of Thomas stars actresses in breeches roles playing schoolboys whose dialogue is dubbed over by voice actors? Source: "Girlie Sexuality: When Flat Girls Become Three-Dimensional"
- ALT1:... that the 1974 manga series The Heart of Thomas draws inspiration from the Bildungsroman genre, the works of Hermann Hesse, and the 1964 film Les amitiés particulières? Source: Individually cited in article
- ALT2:... that while it is now considered a classic work of girls' comics, the 1974 manga series The Heart of Thomas was almost cancelled five weeks into serialization due to poor initial reader response? Source: "When a Woman Betrays the Nation: an Analysis of Moto Hagio's The Heart of Thomas"

Improved to Good Article status by Morgan695 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:49, 16 December 2020 (UTC).
- Promoted to GA within time period, three days before nom. Long enough, at over 22,000 characters. Passed a successful GAC, so it's within policy. All hooks come under 200 characters, are all interesting and broad enough, are cited within the article, and are neutral. QPQ done. I like all three hooks, but I have a slight preference for ALT2, although any would be good. How about adding an image, although it's fine without one. I'm honored and proud to promote this beautiful article to DYK. I think you should bring it to FAC; let me know when you do that; I'd be happy to assist. Congrats on some great work.

- Thank you! Though the majority of the thanks should go to User:Lady freyja, as this article is primarily a translation of their excellent article on the French Wikipedia. Morgan695 (talk) 18:13, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
- Regarding image use, as a note for whoever promotes this: File:Hagio Moto in 2008.jpg could be used for any of the hooks, with "(author Moto Hagio pictured)" added after the link to the article. File:Demian Erstausgabe.jpg could also be used for ALT1, if "the works of Hermann Hesse" is rephrased to "Demian by Hermann Hesse". Morgan695 (talk) 18:17, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
