Notes:
Rumiko Takahashi does not typically work in the 4 panel strip format. In Japan this is called 四コマ (yon koma) and there are some manga artists that specialize in this type of storytelling. The structure follows a format where the first panel sets the stage of the story (起/ki). The second panel then develops the story (承/shou). The third panel (転/ten) is the climax. The fourth panel is the conclusion (結/ketsu).
Rumiko Takahashi has done a few four panel stripes in her career. These include a Untitled in the debut issue of Young Sunday, Delinquent, My Scandal and a special four panel Kyokai no RINNE strip.
There is a special message along with a photograph of the author that says, "Congratulations on launching Young Sunday. I am looking forward to upgrading with each issue!!".
