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

Devo essere onesta, mi aspettavo molto di più dalla Banda dei Sette.
In questo Manga sto riscontrando un po' lo stesso problema che sto avendo con la lettura di Hokuto no Ken: vengono introdotti personaggi stra interessanti, ti ci affezioni nel giro di poco (o comunque catturano fin da subito la tua attenzione) e nel giro di un volume o due schioppano male.
Con la Banda dei Sette è capitato lo stesso e ammetto di esserci rimasta malissimo per la fine che hanno fatto Bankotsu e Jakotsu, che tra l'altro sono stati gli unici ad avere avuto un minimo di approfondimento oltre a Suikotsu.
Che senso ha introdurre così tanti personaggi con un potenziale enorme se poi vengono sprecati in questo modo? Ormai non spero neanche in un loro futuro ritorno, perché dubito che torneranno in vita ancora una volta. Peccato, però, perché erano dei personaggi davvero interessanti.

No tak, ciągle tylko walczą i rzucają technikami, ale naprawdę nie jestem w stanie obiektywnie tego ocenić…
Kocham Inuyashę całym sercem, a to jeszcze końcówka Shichinintai arc i pożegnanie z Bankotsu.
Połowa serii za mną, a jeszcze tyle do końca🫶

War unfassbar spannend, romantisch und lustig 🙈 Das Ende war ein echt mieser Cliffhänger der mein Interesse auf Band 16 vergrößert hat 🥰

Mamma mia, ma non si può far terminare il volume nel bel mezzo della scena clou 😭
Comunque sia, continua la battaglia sul monte Hakurei - la banda dei sette è stata eliminata un pezzo alla volta e, con la scomparsa della barriera sacra, tutta l'aura maligna di Naraku è saltata fuori. Naraku che ha avuto tutto il tempo di rigenerare il suo corpo schifoso all'interno di una caverna che è diventata una vera e propria parete di carne (una roba abbastanza schifosa). Al momento è riuscito a recuperare i vari frammenti della sfera che prima era in possesso di Kagome e pure quelli usati per riportare in vita i sette geni del male. Il prossimo obiettivo saranno sicuramente quelli nelle gambe di Koga.
In mezzo a tutto questo casino, l'unica cosa veramente interessante di questo volume è stata la dichiarazione d'amore di Miroku nei confronti di Sango (anche se, in quel momento, la poverina aveva perso i sensi e quindi non poteva sentirlo, #maiunagioia), seguita a ruota da quella di Sango, che si rifiuta di lasciare il monaco mezzo moribondo e preferisce restare con lui fino alla fine. Piccolo momento emozione, chissà quando ne vedremo un altro....
Molto interessante anche la figura del sacerdote/buddha che stava mantenendo la barriera sacra sul monte - un uomo che ha passato la vita ad aiutare gli altri e che, nei suoi ultimi momenti, ha avuto paura di morire, non voleva rinunciare così alla propria vita. Un sentimento perfettamente comprensibile e umano, di cui si è approfittato quel fetente di Naraku. Kikyo, un'altra che vive in una condizione molto particolare, lo aiuterà a trovare pace.
In generale, un volume che non mi ha entusiasmato tanto quanto i precedenti, e che, ahimè, si chiude con un cliffhanger fastidioso.

Kagome se encarga de cuidar de la eridas de Koga mientras que inuyasha combate contra Renkotsu. Claro la masoquista está más preocupada por inuyasha que por protegerse a ella misma y sus amigos heridos, pero todo sale bien e inuyasha regresa ileso cuando kagome lloraba preocupada por el poniendo a Koga en una situación incomoda.

Continúa el combate con estos sujetos y Naraku termina su proceso en conbertirse en un demonio completo.
