The question remains--where is Daigo's soul?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spotlight on Rumiko Takahashi's career began in 1978 when she won an honorable mention in Shogakukan's prestigious New Comic Artist Contest for \u003ci\u003eThose Selfish Aliens\u003c\/i\u003e. Later that same year, her boy-meets-alien comedy series, \u003ci\u003eUrusei Yatsura\u003c\/i\u003e, was serialized in \u003ci\u003eWeekly Shonen Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e. This phenomenally successful manga series was adapted into anime format and spawned a TV series and half a dozen theatrical-release movies, all incredibly popular in their own right. Takahashi followed up the success of her debut series with one blockbuster hit after another--\u003ci\u003eMaison Ikkoku\u003c\/i\u003e ran from 1980 to 1987, \u003ci\u003eRanma 1\/2\u003c\/i\u003e from 1987 to 1996, and \u003ci\u003eInuyasha\u003c\/i\u003e from 1996 to 2008. Other notable works include \u003ci\u003eMermaid Saga\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRumic Theater\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOne-Pound Gospel\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTakahashi was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 2018. She won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award twice in her career, once for \u003ci\u003eUrusei Yatsura\u003c\/i\u003e in 1981 and the second time for \u003ci\u003eInuyasha\u003c\/i\u003e in 2002. A majority of the Takahashi canon has been adapted into other media such as anime, live-action TV series, and film. Takahashi's manga, as well as the other formats her work has been adapted into, have continued to delight generations of fans around the world. Distinguished by her wonderfully endearing characters, Takahashi's work adeptly incorporates a wide variety of elements such as comedy, romance, fantasy, and martial arts. While her series are difficult to pin down into one simple genre, the signature style she has created has come to be known as the \"Rumic World.\" Rumiko Takahashi is an artist who truly represents the very best from the world of manga.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 7.4 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 13, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47211667194105,"sku":"9781974754946","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/1uu19OyB9M9781974754946_ec94ca7a-0f87-404d-bd10-34e627448229.webp?v=1768084068","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/mao-vol-20-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
