About the author
Rumiko Takahashi
1,587 books2,099 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

Creo que nunca me cansaré de esta historia, es simplemente genial. Ojalá hubieran continuado el anime de forma apegada al manga y sin tanto relleno, aunque muchos de los caps de relleno son de mis favoritos xD
Sigue en pie el plan de conseguir todos los tomos, poco a poco voy reuniéndolos.

This was my favorite volume so far. The story about the new teacher in the first half was very enjoyable. The story about Akane's journey, which took up most of the volume was outstanding!

Ranma me gusta, son ya unos cuantos tomo y en general me está pareciendo un manga muy divertido hijo de su tiempo (y el país del que viene). Además, me pasa una cosa curiosa: cuando hace tiempo que no me acerco a un tomo lo cojo con más ganas y lo disfruto más.
Dicho esto, el tomo que nos ocupa hoy me ha hecho disfrutar mucho. Y no tengo claro si es porque llevaba tiempo sin leer y no estaba saturado o simplemente es un tomo por encima de la media.
Lo primero es que las tramas duran todas varios capítulos, y aunque eso no lleve a que avance absolutamente nada la trama de fondo, sí que consigue engancharte un poco más, darte una continuidad que el comic necesita y agradece.
Son tramas bastante decentes. Desde la profesora nueva que se transforma hasta el príncipe del principio del tomo pasando por el chico del pasado de Akane. Es un universo muy rico, con personajes loquísimos y que no debes tomarte en serio, pero que siempre consigue sacarte la sonrisa.
Así que sí, éste tomo me ha gustado. Pero ahora no sé si esperarme un tiempo a leer el siguiente para cogerlo con más ganas o arriesgarme a saturarme de su peculiar humor y leerme otra de seguido. Qué hago?

One of my favorite stories is in this volume. I've loved this entire series for so long I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. (Because I am Akane.)

Este ha sido de mis favoritos!! La relación entre Ranma y Akane me encanta en este tomo, y el final es de lo más tierno.

I forgot how charming Ranma can be. I'm glad the longer arc with Herb is over because the shorter stories are more fun. Like a teacher where Ranma has to grab her boob to defeat her. Classic.
