Rumiko Takahashin koominen fantasiakertomus on eräs kaikkien aikojen suosituimmista mangoista. Vauhdikas menestyspokkari tarjoaa ihmissuhteita ja itsepuolustusta aitoon japanilaiseen henkeen. Pääosassa seikkailee itsepuolustuslajien mestari Ranma, joka muuttuu tytöksi, aina kun hänen päälleen kaadetaan kylmää vettä! Vain kuuma vesi peruuttaa loitsun, aina seuraavaan kylmään kylpyyn asti! Lisäksi Ranmaa jahtaavat lemmenkipeät kosijat ja verenhimoiset taistelutaiturit. Ja hänen isänsä puolestaan muuttuu kylmässä vedessä pandaksi.
Japanissa sarja ilmestyi vuosina 1987–1997 Shōnen Sunday -lehdessä ja se koottiin myöhemmin 38:ksi tankōbon-kirjaksi, joista on tehty eri kielille vaihtelevan määrän osia sisältäviä käännöksiä.
Rumiko 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
Después de una extraña carrera por fin Ranma logró obtener la píldora Fénix que le permitirá regresar a ala "normalidad" Ryoga entrenando con la vieja momia es extraño, me pregunto qué hubiera pasado si el combate hubiera seguido .
Por qué el pobre Ranma siempre tiene que sufrir 🤔será por ser el protagonista 😅
En este tomo, en una carrera/pelea en la playa con sandías, Ranma por fin consigue la medicina que le permite soportar el agua caliente, por lo que puede volver a ser chico. Luego tenemos el entrenamiento de Ryoga por parte de la abuela de Shampoo y la pelea entre él y Ranma, y finalmente la historia de la pelea con la técnica de la ceremonia del té (con un girito final que es de lo más ridículo pero que no me esperaba).
El nivel de japonés se me hace complicado. Hay muchas cosas que no entiendo bien y se me está haciendo pesado seguir leyendo. También es verdad que, de las tres partes principales de este manga, solo conocía la de la pelea con Ryoga por el anime, y quizá por eso se me ha hecho más fácil. Pero quiero seguir leyendo...
This was another one of those volumes where a lot was squeezed into very little space. You get three different "arcs". They go to the beach, they go to the mountains, and then the teaceremoni stuff. It's kind of messy to read, and not quite as interesting as some of the other volumes. The art style is still amazing to look at, though there's this one panel in the beach arc, where you have to sort of look at it for a while to figure out which limbs belong to which characters. But that's the first time it's happened over the first six volumes of the series, so I can't say it really bothers me.
Todos siguen a la abuelita de Shampoo a la playa tratando de conseguir la píldora fénix para que así Ranma pueda volver a ser hombre. Después de eso sigue una serie de entrenamientos, donde Ryoga es entrenado pro al abuelita de Shampoo quien le enseña la técnica del Punto de Presión Explosivo que pondrá en dificultades a Ranma. Por último, una historia donde se vera la técnica de la ceremonia del té.m
El tomo 6 lo sentí más como una historia de transición, un día más en la familia Tendo-Saotome, en donde nos muestra a un Ranma orgulloso que se deja manipular totalmente por sus aires de poder y todo eso, un tipo orgullo de artista marcial. Termina con una historia que no me gusto en lo absoluto, me pareció un poco rara y y un pco asquerosa también.
Aprietos raros, personajes peculiares que aparecen por única vez (algunos vuelven) y técnicas de artes marciales raras y absurdas como una crítica (real o solo en mi mente) a esas películas de los 60s-70s de artes marciales donde se hablaba de técnicas raras y entrenamientos absurdos (como en Ranma) donde el personaje principal pasa a ser mejor y más fuerte que sus oponentes.
Part 1: The Evil Wakes: Something escapes from a cave in the mountains. Happosai glomps on to Akane and Ranma-chan. Soun and Genma talk about the backstory of Happosai. Happosai says he'll train Ranm to be the heir to the school.
Part 2: He's Something Else: Happosai fights Ranma some, but goes off to steal more panties and glomp onto more girls. (Happosai is an energy vampire, basically, getting energy off feeling women's underwear and, even better for him, women's rear ends and breasts).
Part 3: Bathhouse Battle: The Tendos have to use a public bath since their bath is not working. (There are public baths in Japan, almost always divided into sides for men and for women.) Ranma and Happosai get into it (of course), Ranma-chan ends up on the women's side in the hot water and changes into Ranma (of course), the women beat up Ranma, and so on. It's quite a funny section.
Part 4: Moonlight Serenade: Happosai tries to steal a pair of Akane's panties, but P-chan catches him. Happosai dresses up like P-chan, puts Akane to sleep and kidnaps her. Ranma and Ryoga fight him but he still wins although Akane tosses and turns so much in her sleep she's beating Happosai up without even trying.
Part 5: The Wrath of Happosai: A man from the volunteer neighborhood watch talks to Soun about a panty-thief seen in the area. Genma makes Happosai angry and Happosai gets his revenge in rather funny ways.
Part 6: The Scene of a Woman: Akane and Ranma trick Happosai into wearing something that drives women away which removes his source of power. He's about to be mailed to the North Pole when Ranma saves him. Then it rains, Ranma becomes Ranma-chan, and Happosai gets in his glomps.
Part 7: Fathers Know Best: Soun, Genma and Ranma try to beat up Happosai. Happosai uses his giant battle aura to defeat Soun first and then Genma, but becomes worn out by the process.
Part 8: Instant Spring: -Shampoo comes up with 'instant nannichuan' powder. Meanwhile a dojo destroyer is coming to the dojo. Shampoo says she'll give Ranma the powder if he dates her.
Part 9: No Need for Ranma: The dojo destroyer shows up and Akane has to fight him alone while Ranma is having a rough time on his date with Shampoo.
Part 10: The Destroyer Strikes: Ranma gets back to the dojo to help Akane who has re-injured her hand.
Part 11: Just One More Kiss: Ranma defeats the destroyer and takes the powder which works, but finds out it only works one single time, so he's still cursed.
En este tomo nos encontramos en 3 situaciones: Ranma y la familia Tendo en la playa tratando de recuperar la píldora Phenix, después una vez que la recuperan y Ranma vuelve a ser hombre, Ryoga lo reta a un combate y cuando pierde se va a entrenar a las montañas junto a la abuela de shampoo. También Ranma, su papá y akane están ahí entrenando lo que conlleva al combate donde pelean por Akane y finalmente Ranma (en su versión femenina) es raptada y retada a hacer un combate de la ceremonia de te, en la cual participa por qué se sintió retado y no porque quiera ganar.
En general un montón de situaciones graciosisimas, gráficos muy buenos y un buen. Tomo que se disfruta todo el rato.
Este presente volumen sigue con el ritmo de diversión de los anteriores mangas, pero no profundiza en las relaciones de los personajes.
La mayoría de los mangas giran en torno a la abuela de Shampoo, Cologne, la cual pondrá en problemas a Ranma para que pueda ceder en el "compromiso" con su nieta.
Ryōga, por otro lado, desafiará a Ranma, quién gracias al entrenamiento de Cologne, será un rival peligroso.
Al final del volumen se presentará un arco que gira en torno al combate de la ceremonia del té, que a pesar de unos momentos divertidos, será intrascendente en la trama.
La primera de la pelea de sandias en la playa, no recuerdo que saliera en el anime, algo entretenida.
Segunda es cuando la abuela de Shampoo entrena a Ryoga el toque que hace explotar rocas, muy similar, aunque con un detalle que solo cuentan en el manga. Pobre Ryoga
La del chico del te, aunque aquí varia con la del anime, y es mas rara por lo del chango.
