Co-created by Courtney Love and D.J. Milky, the Princess Ai manga is a loose adaptation of Courtney Love’s life story, with Ai as Love’s fantasy alter ego. It should be noted that Ai means “love” in Japanese. It is also generally believed that Kent, the sensitive, blonde guitar player who becomes Ai’s love interest, is based on Courtney Love’s late husband, Kurt Cobain. Another connection to the real-life Love is Princess Ai’s heart-shaped box, which figures prominently in the story. “Heart Shaped Box” was a hit song by Nirvana, and was inspired by a heart-shaped box Courtney Love gave Cobain as a present.

I used to love these when I was about 11 and had no idea who Courtney was. I recently picked one up at the book store and couldn’t believe all the references she threw in there!
