Pink (1982 manga)

A young girl named Pink makes a living as a mysterious bandit stealing water from the shady Silver Company, which she keeps for herself.

Due to Pink's young feminine physique and her face being concealed behind goggles, her opponents all assume the bandit is a small guy.

After numerous thefts, the head of the company, Silver, calls the local sheriff Cobalt Blue to apprehend the bandit and bring them to justice.

Written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama, Pink is a one-shot manga published in the December 1982 issue of Shueisha's Fresh Jump magazine on October 23, 1982.
