About the author
Rumiko Takahashi
1,586 books2,143 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

Die Geschichten werden immer seltsamer.

Ranma doit affronter Herb, un redoutable adversaire, venu tout droit de Chine. Après avoir été aspergé par l’eau du Zhishuitong, le seau ancestral de la dynastie du Musc, il ne peut plus se retransformer en garçon, même plongé dans l’eau chaude ! Une seconde longue histoire met en scène une nouvelle prof principale qui, sous ses airs d’ado, cache bien son jeu...
Deux longs arcs narratifs dans ce volume, le premier en Chine pour des combats épiques, le deuxième au lycée avec une nouvelle prof invincible. Ça se lit vite, les personnages secondaires sont souvent ridicules, donc hilarants. Ça ne vole pas bien haut mais au moins on n’a pas le temps de s’ennuyer.

PERFETTO. FANTASTICO. SEI MILA STELLE. IL MIO VOLUME PREFERITO FIN ORA.👏👏👏
Lo scontro con Herb è stato bellissimo e lui è un personaggio che proprio WOW, poi finalmente Ranma usa le tecniche che ha precedentemente imparato, prima sembrava che le dimenticasse 🫥
Qua invece ha spaccato e il trio Mousse-Ryoga-Ranma è stato fenomenale.
L’abbraccio di Akane.🥹
Tutto perfetto davvero.

Confermo che il capitolo di Ranma innamorato di Ryoga mi è piaciuto molto. Bello anche quello dei lottatori del mondo selvatico dove viene a galla l’amicizia tra Ranma, Ryoga e Mousse.
Vediamo il primo abbraccio tra Akane a Ranma uomo (finalmente!)

Très bien cette tome ! L'histoire avec l'altesse ma beaucoup plu. Eu plus la nouvelle prof c'est géniale !

Me gustó que abarcara más la (compleja) amistad entre Ranma, Ryoga y Mousse. ESE momento en el que Ranma piensa en Akane es uno de mis favoritos, lo mismo que cuando Ranma vuelve a casa.

Dopo i divertenti episodi conclusivi iniziali facciamo la conoscenza dei tre membri della Dinastia Muschiata. Tre peroanggi forti e misteriosi che fanno sì che Ranma rimanga una donna e deve cercare il tesoro segreto che cancella gli effetti della maledizione. Insieme a Ranma si uniscono Ryoga e Mousse, in un’avventura piena di azione dove sopratutto il capo del terzetto muschiato, Herb, sarà una fonte di sorprese. Una parte piena di azione e combattimenti con spazio anche al divertimento e l’ilarità che contraddistingue la serie senza però esagerare. Sul finale si torna però a ridere con la nuova professoressa chiamata dal preside per raddrizzare il brutto comportamento di Ranma. Ma questo provocherà la gelosia delle altre pretendenti del ragazzo perché per sconfiggerla il ragazzo le deve toccare il seno... Insomma un finale esilarante che promette che ne avremo ancora da ridere nel prossimo volume!
