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

Los capítulos del patinaje son de los mejores!!!
Me encanta como en esta edición la traducción deja mucho más en evidencia el verdadero interés secreto, y no tan secreto, de Ranma por Akane.

Mal wieder funny af, aber in diesem Band doch sehr repititiv. Man fragt sich nur noch, welche kuriose Kampfsportart als nächstes auf dem Plan steht... Sicher ist aber, dass jemand, der darin Meister*in ist, aus dem Nichts kommt und sich in Ranma (m/w) / Akane (w) verliebt - den man dann besiegen muss, damit er davon ablässt. Ich bin mittlerweile immer froh, wenn mal etwas zwischen diesen ständigen Kämpfen passiert. Dennoch liebe ich die Charaktere und den Zeichenstil. Darum beobachte ich das ganze mal noch mindestens einen Band und schaue, ob mich das Ganze irgendwann nervt ...

Nueva edición argentina en 20 tomos más entrevistas a la autora y curiosidades, aunque obviamente sin "La odisea de la traducción". Equivale a casi cuatro tomitos de la vieja edición argentina salvo por un capítulo.

Bin immer hin und hergerissen, was von Rumiko Takahashi ich lieber mag / mochte: Inuyasha oder Ranma. Das tolle an Ranma ist die Leichtigkeit der Geschichte und die episodenhafte Erzählweise. Ein gutes Buch für zwischendurch, insbesondere wenn es Mal nicht so gut läuft und man müde vom Stress des Alltags ist. Liebenswerte Charaktere, einfaches und interessantes Story-Konzept, ansprechender Humor - einzig die Storylines werden irgendwann ein wenig repetitiv, wenn man es zu lange liest. Aber bei welcher Sitcom is das nicht der Fall. Dieser Band enthält auf jeden Fall eine meiner liebsten Kapitel in der Geschichte - so 5 stars it is.

Viel Nostalgie...aber die unterschwellige Homophobie ist irgendwie störend

La prima parte, sfida di ginnastica ritmica marziale, non mi è piaciuta molto, l’ho trovata un po’ noiosa. Il resto del volume invece è volato, le prime gelosie di Ranma per Akane e viceversa sono molto carine.

Me encanta el manga de Ranma 1/2. Lo disfruto muchísimo, me hace reír a carcajadas. Sin dudas es superior al animé, que vendría a ser una versión diluida del manga. Acá, en cambio, la acción y el humor no dan descanso, con leves notas de amor y sentimentalidad intercaladas, y con una trama que avanza ligera y dinámica. El humor físico y de expresiones queda excelente en los dibujos de Rumiko Takahashi. Y en este caso, a diferencia de otros mangas más serios, me parece que la traducción argenta que hace Ivrea, al tratarse de una comedia mordaz y subida de tono, queda muy bien. Este segundo tomo abarca, completos, el combate de gimnasia artística contra Kodachi, la rosa Negra, y el de patinaje contra la pareja compuesta por Azusa Shiratori y Mikado Sanzenin. Hacia el final se introduce el arco narrativo de Shampoo, la guerrera que debe asesinar a Ranma (mujer) y se enamora de Ranma (hombre).

Otra gran alegría que me hace sentir mezcla de nostalgia con cierta sorpresa como si fuera la primera vez que la leo.

RANMA VOL 2
AUTOR: RUMIKO TAKAHASHI
EDITORIAL: PANINI MEXICO
PAGINAS: 344
TRADUCCIÓN: MIZTON PIXAN
En este segundo tomo de Ranma las locuras continúan, aquí conocemos a dos de las rivales de Amor de Akane, Kodachi "La Rosa Negra" y "Shampoo" . Además Ranma a pesar de no considerarse un don Juan , debido a pequeños accidentes con estas dos chicas se enamoran de el.
La historia sigue teniendo giros interesantes en competencias de pelea tanto en gimnasia como en Patinaje. Personajes como Ryoga, Y Kuno como los rivales de Ranma, conocemos a otros personajes como Mikado y Azusa (dos patinadores muy particulares) de los cuales lo que más ha fascinado es el primer beso de nuestro protagonista transformador en mujer.
No hay palabras para describir toda la trama y arcos argumentativos que vemos en este tomo, lo importante es que leyendo el manga, me sigue fascinando la historia que logré ver en anime en mi infancia. Ahora estoy con deseos de poder leer los próximos tomos y redescubrir una historia tan fascinante, de enredos amorosos y el toque marcial.

Beh, dai... Alla fine si ride!
Certo che la Takahashi era riuscita a trasformare tutto in uno scontro di arti marziali. Ginnastica ritmica marziale, pattinaggio artistico marziale... I risultati, ovviamente, fanno ridere. Anche perché di tutti i coprotagonisti che popolano questo manga non c'è nessuno che si distingua per l'intelligenza. Anzi, son uno più cretino dell'altro. Come la coppia del pattinaggio.
P-chan rimane il mio personaggio preferito, ma in questo numero arriva anche Shampoo e il suo wo ai ni.
Va beh, continuiamo questo viaggio nel passato...

2,5⭐
Digamos que el manga se divide en 3 partes, la 1ra y 2da consumen casi todo el libro y son EXACTAMENTE iguales. Nada más que una es un desafío de gimnasia rítmica y el otro de patinaje. El último fue más entretenido, el de gimnasia se me hizo largo. La 3ra historia, recién está empezando, continuará en el otro tomo, me está entreteniendo.
En resumen, fueron muchas páginas para pura repetición.

Me encantó. Me divertí muchísimo con cada nuevo personaje o desafío que parecía. Son todos súper locos a decir verdad, aunque los hermanos Kuno son los peores hasta el momento.
Ya quiero que Ranma y Akane sean algo más. Es que, son tan liiiindoooooos, quieren hacer pensar al otro que no les importa, pero si les importa y lo demuestran y ya quiero QUE SE BESEN, y luego se enojan y empezamos otra vez.
Aunque seguro debo esperar un montón para eso. 💔

Volume in cui entrano in scena parecchi personaggi amati dai fan di Ranma! Questo volume poi è divertentissimo grazie anche all'apparizione di Azusa, geniale Rumiko qui!
Questo, inoltre, è quel volume in cui Ranma inizia a provare qualcosa per Akane, la scena importante però viene interrotta dalla famiglia Tendo.
Ah, quanto vorrei farne parte!

L'humour continue de faire mouche et le trait de Takahashi est un régal pour les yeux. J'avais complètement oublié le personnage de Shampoo et je suis ravie de la redécouvrir. <3 Les personnages féminins brillent réellement dans ce manga, ils sont aussi forts que loufoques et c'est absolument savoureux.

Con el tomo dos, empezamos a ver poco a poco como Ranma comienza con su interés hacia Akane y aquí es donde se nos introduce un personaje nuevo que es Ryouga y además nos muestra un crecimiento por parte de Akane, dejando de lado su enamoramiento imposible y posiblemente poniendo su atención ahora hacia su prometido.

Io rileggerò all’infinito questa storia solo per Ranma che urla “AKANE È LA MIA FIDANZATA, PROVA A TOCCARLA E TI AMMAZZO”
SCLERO MALE.
Ma poi in questo volume succede il finimondo e la relazione tra Ranma e Akane fa 680 passi avanti ahaha
Ma poi Shampoo ragazzi. Quanto cazzo è bello il suo personaggio hahahah

J'ai bien aimé ce tome 2, il y avait de l'action grâce aux défis que les personnages lançaient à Ranma. Il y a également beaucoup d'humour avec le petit cochon d'Akané.

Tout est prétexte à se battre, ça part dans tous les sens (ce combat sur la patinoire haha) , mais c'est aussi ce qui fait le charme de Ranma 1/2. Drôle et énergique !

Adoro gli episodi con la sfida di pattinaggio 🥲

Aparición de Ryoga y se descubre su secreto, muy buen tomo, de los que salieron hasta ahora el color de la sobrecubierta es mi favorito 💜

It was okay, but it's really a manga series for teenagers and I'm way past that age.

Amo questa serie! Il secondo volume è ricco di azione, combattimenti improbabili e nuovi personaggi (alcuni dei quali sono tra i miei preferiti)
