Rumiko Takahashi
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 seriesLater 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.

Rumiko Takahashi
Sure, the only one who recognizes the engagement between Ukyo and Ranma may be Ukyo herself, but that still counts for something, doesn't it? Ten years ago, Ukyo made a special okonomiyaki sauce - which Ranma secretly ruined. Unaware of what Ranma had done, Ukyo to this day can't quite understand why Ranma's being extra nice to her despite the phenomenal failure of her special sauce. Akane's onto Ranma, though, and one way or another, he's going to pay. Which will it be, Ranma? The okonomiyaki frying pan, or the fire that comes from slurping down that nasty sauce itself...?

It's the same old song. Ryoga-confronts-Ranma-and-Ranma-defeats-Ryoga (pause) Ryoga-confronts-Ranma-again-and-Ranma-defeats-Ryoga-again (fade out).

Not every technique is suited to every martial artist (at least that's what Ranma's dad Genma says). What Ryoga needs is a technique suited to his own unique strengths - to his depression, that is! Sure, asking Akane to say "I hate you!" may be the quickest way for Ryoga to power up, but even if Ryoga's body survives his new technique's blast, will his heart be able to withstand the blow?

RIN-NE, Vol. 1: Death can be a laughing matter!
Rumiko Takahashi
Rin-ne is the newest manga from Takahashi, creator of Ranma½ and Inuyasha, two of the most successful anime and manga series of all time. Sakura is a teenage girl who can see spirits due to a narrow escape from the wheel of death and reincarnation as a child. One day, her classroom is plagued by a ghost, and she meets Rinne, a living boy filling the role of a shinigami—a supernatural being who guides spirits to their rest. Poor and alone on Earth, he tries to cadge meals and scam a living in between dealing with unquiet spirits. Despite potential melodramatic fodder, both characters are too practical and matter-of-fact for theatrics. Instead, Rin-ne tells the wry and funny adventures of two lonely kids becoming friends against a background of ghost stories that are more melancholy than frightening. Rin-ne is not the most profound of comics nor is it the most visually stunning, but it is a satisfying and heartfelt story, with promise of greater things to come as the tale unfolds.

Genma y Ranma Saotome son padre e hijo y panda y chica respectivamente, ya que entrenando en cierto lugar de China fueron víctimas de una maldición: cada vez que se mojan con agua fría, se convierten en el último ser que se haya ahogado en las fosas en que cayeron. Esto no pasaría de algo simpático (ponele) salvo por un temita: Ranma termina comprometido a su pesar con Akane, una de las hijas de Soun Tendo, para juntos llevar adelante el dojo de artes marciales de este. Sus transformaciones no sólo serán un problema (y un cago de risa) sino que se va a llenar de personajes que intenten matar a uno/a de los dos para quedarse con su prometido/a. ¿Por qué no demostrar amor, con un te quiero y ya, con un beso y ya? ¡Y así todo podría ser mejor!
Ranma 1/2 es una pieza fundamental de la historia de Ivrea. No sólo marcó el puntapié inicial de la línea manga de la editorial allá por 1999, también fue el primer manga en publicarse legalmente en este país, y sufrió toda clase de tropiezos entre los propios de la inexperiencia y las tormentas económicas del país, quedando en una cosa amorfa de 50 tomos con 3 cambios de formato, sentido occidental, etc. Obviamente como todo padre, uno está orgulloso de su hijo sin importar cómo se vea, pero ya que esto es una serie de libros, pensamos que lo podíamos hacer mejor, y acá está.
