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

Dieser Band enthält gleich drei Alltagsgeschichten aus dem verrückten Leben von Ranma und Akane. Unter anderem sollte das titelgebende Theaterstück an ihrer Schule aufgeführt werden. Doch auch hier sind die Rollen alle verdreht. Romeo und Julia mal anders. xD

Ranma continúa con la búsqueda de una solución a su problema.
Una obra de teatro, quien será Romeo, Julieta seguirá siendo la misma que al inicio?
Si no mal recuerdo cuando Editorial Toukan publicó en México Ranma 1/2 hasta aquí llego.

Hay tres arcos y todos tienen que ver con el manantial del hombre ahogado. El tercer arco, en donde hay un supuesto manantial en el vestidor de mujeres es aburido; el primero trata de un destructor de dojos y una cita con Shampoo y es entretenido. Sin duda, el mejor es el de Romeo y Julieta que es muy divertido y absurdo.

Happôsai seguro que querría más ropa interior XD

Una manga con varias historias, una cita con Shampoo, una pelea por el papel de Romeo, donde Akane será Julieta y Ranma hace todo lo posible por no besarla aunque sabe que el premio, un viaje a China, está a juego y por último una historia con Ryoga y Ranma donde van en busca del Nan Ni Quan japonés para terminar con sus transformación. Un capítulo divertido aunque no me agrada tanto el pervertido del maestro

Son como 3.5*, no es que no me gustara, pero todo el tomo se va por la búsqueda del “Nan ni quan” y no es que me aburriera pero creo que se estancó y hay otros arcos más divertidos.
Si bien Happosai me divierte bastante creo que fue desaprovechado en la extensión de lo que pudieran haberlo usado.

The plot isn´t really moving forward, so I´ll try to read one volume each day to try not to get bored.

Me he gustado ese nuevo volumen aunque pienso que a veces los cuerpos de las chicas son muy sexualizado.
Ranma esta disponible a hacer todo para transformarse de nuevo en un hombre completo

Otro volumen gracioso y ocurrente de la obra de Takahashi. Hay que ver que en este volumen en especial se pasa de una actividad a otra de forma impresionante: protectores del dojo, actores de teatro, y buscadores de tesoros.
El humor en los detalles y malos entendidos es marca de la autora, y este volumen no se queda atrás en ello, donde la búsqueda de Ranma por ser normal continúa, a pesar de una decepción tras otra.

Competencias interescolares que incluyen mucho drama y confusión para Ranma y Akane ❤️
Todo ello se complementa con la obra de Romeo y Julieta y los sentimientos de estos chicos que son incapaces de desmostrar.
Por otro lado, Ryoga vuelve porque tiene un mapa que cree que lo guiará hacia el lugar que puede terminar con su maldición.
¿SE IMAGINAN QUE HUBIERA SIDO TODO FÁCIL?
¡PUES NO!

Bueno, parece que se dieron cuenta de que el viejo era cargante, porque aquí le restaron páginas, aunque sigue saliendo y sus chistes apenas tienen gracia (más allá de cargar a Ranma con su culpa o que lo arrollen).
Sin embargo, la trama de la obra de teatro sí es muy divertida.

前巻とあまり繋がっていない。

毎話は面白い、そして今日は土曜日！一日中読むつもり！どこまでいけるかな？！
