Takahashi Related Miscellany
Odds & Ends (rumic version)
Kuniko, Rumiko and Makiko on their way to vacation in Bali |
Here are a few more tidbits about Takahashi as a person. I've collected
a few pictures and other info about her. Maybe someday I'll add interviews
too, but damn I hate translating so maybe if someone else does it.

First off here's some publicity pictures of a Takahashi doing a signing.
Both males and females come in droves to hear her speak, and get her autograph.
Her assistants Kuniko and Makiko are also seen lending their signatures.
Take note of the some of the props that people come across waiting in
line. I especially get a kick out of the shrine bell with Mendo's picture
on it. People can go under it and yell "kuraiyo, semaiyo, kowaiyo"
just like he does in the manga. You'd never catch me doing that, but it's
still pretty funny that someone thought of the idea.

A few shots of Takahashi and company when they went to Bali. This excursion
was later recounted in "kemo kobiru no nikki" issue 8. There
were a few other pages, showing beach shots and a very hard to see pic
of Kuniko windsurfing, but I only scanned this one page as a sample.

Another vacation, this time Takahashi went to the Palau Islands (she really
seems to have a thing for polynesian beaches). Here we see her scuba diving
and sitting down for a feast that's way too big for just her.
This is
one of the pictures I found from when Takahashi and her assistants took
an excursion to Nagasaki. There were more photos, but they were mostly
all of scenery and buildings. I'm sure if you wanted to see those, you'd
be at a travel site right now.
