About the author
Rumiko Takahashi
1,597 books2,203 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

Essen ist ein wiederkehrendes Thema. xD

Después de éste ya sólo faltan otros tres tomos de Ranma y tendremos la colección completa. Y curiosamente nada parece indicarlo a éstas alturas.
No me malinterpretéis, el comic sigue pareciéndome divertido dentro de su estilo bastante retro. Pero de verdad esperaba que hubiera algo de trama principal más allá de ir presentando a más y más personajes secundarios recurrentes.
Las historias que tenemos en éste tomo dieciséis me han parecido más frescas que en ocasiones anteriores, creo que están mejor encontradas y coquetean menos con el humor absurdo japonés (o humor absurdo extremo). Son historias que tienen algo más de espacio para desarrollarse (como la del traje que casi te hace invencible o la de la chica que se transforma en... ya mejor lo leéis), y que quizás por ello consiguen enganchar un poco más.
Pero como he dicho, esperaba un mínimo acercamiento entre los dos protagonistas a éstas alturas. Tengo la sensación de que los capítulos de éste tomo se podrían intercambiar con los del segundo y no pasaría absolutamente nada.

Disfruté mucho este volumen, y por la cantidad de risas que me sacó creo que se merece las 4 estrellas.
He hecho las paces con la realidad de que esta historia no se debe tomar muy en serio, y que para disfrutarla uno debe aceptar que los personajes son muy tontos y de ahí derivan todos los problemas en los que se meten.

Siguen los absurdos, ya entramos en las “batallas culinarias” donde hay unos “enfrentamientos” absurdos llevados de una manera simple pero que entra en el reino del ridículo y por lo mismo resulta cómico.
Siempre he considerado a Ranma como una historia para “descansar el cerebro”, no se complica, es tonta y las tramas duran 1 a 3 capítulos usualmente.

Ranma 16
Una carrera en unas aguas termales, donde la pareja que gane se lleva un viaje gratis a cualquier agua termal, y pues todos participan. Pobre Ranma, vaya que recibe muchos golpes, y uno MUY doloroso.
Luego viene el inicio de Picolet, el francés comelon, y donde a Ranma hasta corset de acero le ponen. Inicio chistoso.

Ahora que tengo a mano el tomo y pude actualizar la data, me puse a ver el contenido para ver qué recuerdop de la historia.. Y la verdad que muy poco, salvo que Monsieur Picolette era un personaje odioso pero muy gracioso. Lástima que, por lo que veo, la historia seguía en el próximo tomo.

Cuarto tomo argentino en edición completa, equivalente al tomo 16 japonés, tal como indica la numeración del lomo.

Una carrera en unas aguas termales por un Gran Premio. Pero como siempre se desata una gran pelea.
Pobre Ranma está en manos de Picolet.
Esta parte no la recuerdo pero esta muy divertida
