About the author
Rumiko Takahashi
1,582 books2,136 followersRumiko Takahashi (高橋留美子) was born in Niigata, Japan. She is not only one of the richest women in Japan but also one of the top paid manga artists. She is also the most successful female comic artist in history. She has been writing manga non-stop for 31 years.
Rumiko Takahashi is one of the wealthiest women in Japan. The manga she creates (and its anime adaptations) are very popular in the United States and Europe where they have been released as both manga and anime in English translation. Her works are relatively famous worldwide, and many of her series were some of the forerunners of early English language manga to be released in the nineties. Takahashi is also the best selling female comics artist in history; well over 100 million copies of her various works have been sold.
Though she was said to occasionally doodle in the margins of her papers while attending Niigata Chūō High School, Takahashi's interest in manga did not come until later. During her college years, she enrolled in Gekiga Sonjuku, a manga school founded by Kazuo Koike, mangaka of Crying Freeman and Lone Wolf and Cub. Under his guidance Rumiko Takahashi began to publish her first doujinshi creations in 1975, such as Bye-Bye Road and Star of Futile Dust. Kozue Koike often urged his students to create well-thought out, interesting characters, and this influence would greatly impact Rumiko Takahashi's works throughout her career.
Career and major works:
Takahashi's professional career began in 1978. Her first published story was Those Selfish Aliens, a comedic science fiction story. During the same year, she published Time Warp Trouble, Shake Your Buddha, and the Golden Gods of Poverty in Shōnen Sunday, which would remain the home to most of her major works for the next twenty years. Later that year, Rumiko attempted her first full-length series, Urusei Yatsura. Though it had a rocky start due to publishing difficulties, Urusei Yatsura would become one of the most beloved anime and manga comedies in Japan.
In 1980, Rumiko Takahashi found her niche and began to publish with regularity. At this time she started her second major series, Maison Ikkoku, in Big Comic Spirits. Written for an older audience, Maison Ikkoku is often considered to be one of the all-time best romance manga. Takahashi managed to work on Maison Ikkoku on and off simultaneously with Urusei Yatsura. She concluded both series in 1987, with Urusei Yatsura ending at 34 volumes, and Maison Ikkoku being 15.
During the 1980s, Takahashi became a prolific writer of short story manga, which is surprising considering the massive lengths of most of her works. Her stories The Laughing Target, Maris the Chojo, and Fire Tripper all were adapted into original video animations (OVAs). In 1984, after the end of Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku, Takahashi took a different approach to storytelling and began the dark, macabre Mermaid Saga. This series of short segments was published sporadically until 1994, with the final story being Mermaid's Mask. Many fans contend that this work remains unfinished by Takahashi, since the final story does not end on a conclusive note.
Another short work left untouched is One-Pound Gospel, which, like Mermaid Saga, was published erratically. The last story to be drawn was published in 2001, however just recently she wrote one final chapter concluding the series
Later in 1987, Takahashi began her third major series, Ranma ½. Following the late 80s and early 90s trend of shōnen martial arts manga, Ranma ½ features a gender-bending twist. The series continued for nearly a decade until 1996, when it ended at 38 volumes. Ranma ½ is one of Rumiko Takahashi's most popular series with the Western world.
During the later half of the 1990s, Rumiko Takahashi continued with short stories and her installments of Mermaid Saga and One-Pound Gospel until beginning her fourth major work, InuYasha. While Ran

Volume 15 is a long one... the first half is dedicated to martial arts eating. Yes, even eating can be martial. A fellow named Picolet Chardin arrives and steals everyone’s food and eats it so quickly they can’t even see it. He challenges Ranma to a duel, and Ranma loses. Turns out he’s from a French family of competitive eaters whose secrets lie in their massive mouths. And it turns out that Soun Tendo promised that he could marry his daughter before they were born (because he honestly wasn’t expecting to have girls; he traded a hypothetical one for a meal. Looks like he no longer has the upper evans over Genma...) Ranma offers to go in their place (in girl form) so he can have his revenge match. He’ll go to the Chardin estate and learn their art, and he can get out of the marriage if he defeats Picolet in a duel. They train Ranma and put her in a metal corset, so she can’t change back into a guy at all, and she figures out a family secret - parlay du fois gras. It’s a technique that force feeds the opponent faster than the eye can see, rather than cleaning one’s plate by eating. Ranma does this and eventually manages to defeat Picolet. It... really can’t get much stupider than this. (I thought martial arts tea ceremonies were bad!)
The next arc is as good as that one was bad. Akane and Nabiki get into a fight, and Ranma chimes in to mock Akane, too. She loses her cool with both of them and suggests that he marry Nabiki instead. This leads to more fighting - Ranma doesn’t quite see what he did wrong, and feels like a pawn in the sisters’ war. Nabiki, meanwhile, tries to sell Ranma-time to his mother suitors and to sports teams and such, and when Ranma protests she confesses her love for him. Akane overhears this and believes her, and Ranma believes it too.
Akane and Nabiki discuss it, and Akane as good as admits she’s in love with him. “Why don’t you tell him how you feel?” Nabiki asks. “I’m... I’m not like you,” Akane replies. “I can’t say it!” (Oh my heart. She has tears.)
Ranma eventually overhears Kasumi and Nabiki talking, and learns that Nabiki was lying when she said she loved him nos he plots revenge, and part of that involves going on a date. Nabiki agrees, and tells Akane that Ranma wants to go with *her*. The next day the date occurs, and it looks like Ranma’s plan is to freak Nabiki out by pretending to be in love with her. But everything backfires and he chases Nabiki into a hedge-maze. He reaches through and grabs her, shouting that he loves her - but it’s actually Akane that he grabbed. There’s some awkward correcting, and Akane realizes that he didn’t want to date her, but he quickly comes to his senses and offers her the dozen roses he bought.
So, my favorite moment in this volume is when Ranma and Akane almost make up. They’re standing by the canal, he having just intercepted her on her morning jog. He apologizes and asks if they can go back to the way they were. Akane asks if he means the engagement too, and he says yes. “I don’t mind,” she replies, and he grins and says he’s glad. She then apologizes and says it’s all her fault, and he jubilantly cries that she finally gets it, that he’s an innocent victim of sibling squabbles and that the engagement doesn’t mean anything at all. “And it’s even worse getting stuck with the greedy sister than with the violent one!” he crows. So she knocks him into the canal. So close, Ranma, yet so damned far. Lolol.

I had forgotten how much fun this manga is. I left off between volumes 15-16 a few years ago and I decided to take the deep dive to finish reading it all now. Ranma has some luck for attracting all of the stalkers, man or woman. If Ranma was actually interested in Kuno I”m sure he would come off as much more romantic, but since Ranma isn’t interested, Kuno is just an obnoxious idiot that won’t leave him alone. He wasn’t even able to take advantage of him when he tried. Ukyo is also really interesting to me because she is someone who could potentially be a good romantic partner, but Ranma obviously isn’t very interested and is even oblivious to her affections. That boy is dense. However, that’s what makes this so much fun. I’m looking forward to continue reading this. Lots of laughs ahead.

This volume has two long arcs; the first introduces something called martial dining, which Ranma trains in so he can beat someone in a competition. Martial dining is supposed to be about eating the elegantly, but really, it looks ridiculous. The second arc is about a love triangle between Nabiki, Akane and Ranma, where Nabiki becomes engaged to Ranma instead of Akane but she does it out of terrible motives and then both Akane and Ranma have to work through their feelings for each other.

Damn it! I was so close to getting what I wished for, but then Happosai got shoved into the story at the end. Why did we have to get a story about a cure for baldness? I wanted a break from the gross old weirdo. Anyway the other two "stories" featured in the volume were funny, but also super ridiculous (as expected). But the grown ass man that cheat at cards against kids might take the cake in this one.

This one was very funny, though also kind of gross. Their mouths were so huge! Nabiki and Ranma kind of frustrated me with this one. Nabiki for not giving up (though she does end up helping, of course) and Ranma for not being able to see how hurt Akane was.
January 12, 2025
Absolutely amazing! From the hilarious character design of the Gambling King to the continuity of Ranma not wanting his hair cut, I absolutely adore this story, as ridiculous and out of pocket it continues to be.

Quince tomacos ya de Ranma ½ en la estantería y la cosa tampoco es que haya avanzado demasiado desde que empezó. Vale que tenemos secundarios como para llenar un barco, pero lo que es la trama de la serie es la misma que al principio. Ya sé que es algo que se llevaba muchísimo en la época de
publicación de ésta obra: historias auto conclusivas reutilizando a los personajes y sin apenas continuidad, pero a día de hoy me escama tener tantísimas páginas de una historia y que no pase de divertimento.
Porque eso es lo que son las historias de éste volumen: un divertimento ligero repleto de humor absurdo que basa todo su atractivo en el carisma de sus personajes (y en mi caso de la nostalgia).
No nos engañemos, las tramas de Ranma no hay por dónde cogerlas, algo que se puede perdonar al tratarse de un comic de humor. Son absurdez tras absurdez que acabamos por encontrar hasta normales por culpa (o gracias) a que los personajes ya son así y no encuentran para nada descabellado tener que hacer okonomiyaki, luchar contra unas envenenadoras o que haya una fanática de los cerdos.
Por suerte éste tomo se limita a jugar con los personajes que ya conocemos casi todo el rato, olvidando meter sagas de varios capítulos con personajes nuevos a los que no volveremos a ver. Es algo que se agradece mucho, ya que da cierta sensación de estar conteniendo un poco la obra, y de centrarse en los personajes que queremos ver.
Sigue siendo una obra divertida, de la que te lees un capítulo o dos y los disfrutas, pero es menos cierto que si fuera una obra nueva no la estaría comprando.

This volume was a lot of fun! The martial arts dining storyline was a little strange but Ranma looked so cute the entire time I forgave the rather stupid storyline. I loved all the cute outfits she had on!! So adorable! And this was funny:
Aah!! Ranma was so adorable!!
Ranma is just so stinkin' cute as a girl! I love it!!
The second story line with Nabiki was quite fun. She is so devious and great! I loved the part 12 cover art of Nabiki with the Ranma and Akane puppets. So great!
But grrrrr. Ranma and Akane? I do not approve!!

Hilarious as always with Rumiko Takahashi's excellent artwork, pacing, sense of humor and incredible fashion sense. I loved the clothes in this, especially the dress Akane was wearing in the last chapter on the volume. So cute.
This book is broken up into two stories and I like both equally. One dealing with Food Fu, starring Picolet as the antagonist, who is, of course, a love sick idiot and keeps getting kicked around.
The second story is Nabiki-centric and kind of looking at the nature of their relationship while Nabiki also manipulates the hell out of everyone around her, including the hapless Ranma.
I thoroughly enjoyed both stories as I usually do with this series and there were several places that made me laugh.

Ranma 15
Kuno tiene una espada que le concede 3 deseas, usa uno para vencer a Ranma varón, el segundo para tener una cita con Ranma mujer, que aprovecha para intentar quitarle la espada y usar el ultimo deseo para quitarse la maldición, pero no le resulta, lo que si se generan muchas situaciones chistosas.
Luego es la historia de un señor que apuesta, esta no es tan divertida, excepto por que Ranma resulta ser super malo para jugar cartas.
La de los pelones y los bigotes del Dragon, lo mejorcito es el diseño de los monos que parecen dumplings.

Eating food is a form of martial arts? Seriously, cat-fu, delivery-fu, what other forms of kung fu can they come up with? Although, it was funny to see Ranma stuck in a steel corset. And how many fiances does he have exactly? This just another entertaining chapter in the craziness that Ranma calls his life :)

They say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. But I did - And I was right ;) This series is amazing! You get genderbender, fantasy, action, romance and slapstick-humor along with intense serious moments, what more can you want?

This volume was hilarious. So far i love this vol. the best out of the series. The French guy and his mouth was so funny and i laughed so hard at some parts. Ranma 1/2 is a funny light hearted series and a good series to try

Esta vez sólo hago esta reseña provisoria para dejar constancia de que este tomo 27 argentino contiene el material publicado originalmente como el volumen 15 japonés. Ojalá los Librarians descuidados no lo anden "separando" de su edición correspondiente.

Me tomó un buen tiempo, pero porfin le seguí con la serie. Obviamente el secreto esta en no leer varios volumenes de seguido. Son divertidos pero como dije antes, las historias se vuelven muy repetitivas.
