The web is full of Rumiko Takahashi fans. Everywhere I look, anime and
manga fans are enjoying the works that bear her name. But what I found
strange is how little people seem to know about the woman herself. What
is she like? How does she create comics? What kind of home life does she
have?
 With
this sub site of Tomobiki-cho, I hope to give fans a little glimpse behind
the pages and get to know the fun side of the creator herself. Here I
cover Takahashi as she was during her twenties for the Urusei Yatsura/Maison
Ikkoku years.
For those of you who may not know Rumiko Takahashi (for shame) first read
my introduction About the Creator.
For all the rest of you, press on.

Rumiko's
Journal Comics
 "kemo*kobiru
no nikki"
We
have 9 issues of Takahashi's own diary manga series (which appeared
in UY Shonen Sunday Graphic magazine). Here we follow the workaday
adventures of Takahashi, co-starring her two assistants Kuniko and
Makiko with special appearances from her editor Oshima (psudonym)
and several other guests. It's a fun look behind the pages of Urusei
Yatsura, on the web for the first time ever.

Here's
just a mishmash of leftover stuff I had about Takahashi. Some vacation

Some pretty interesting stuff.
