<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvelous_Melmo" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Marvelous Melmo</a> is a manga from &gt;40 years ago, apparently never released / translated for the English market, and its nice alliterative title makes me a bit curious of when and how the English title came to be.</p>
<p>Is it a ~2000s era title? Given how the Wikipedia's page history indicates a stub existed with the title in 2006?</p>

Looks like there's [an official English translation of this manga](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18071921-marvelous-melmo), though I can't find where's it's published.
