About the author
Rumiko Takahashi
1,566?books2,065?followersRumiko Takahashi (¸ßÇÅÁôÃÀ×Ó) 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 Ch¨±¨ 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 Sh¨nen 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 series
Later in 1987, Takahashi began her third major series, Ranma ?. Following the late 80s and early 90s trend of sh¨nen martial arts manga, Ranma ? features a gender-bending twist. The series continued for nearly a decade until 1996, when it ended at 38 volumes. Ranma ? 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. While Ran

I read volume 4-6 all in a row on a trip, and will give a general review of all three books here. A few new characters are introduced:
Rinne's dad: basically a scumbag. He's the reason behind Rinne's poverty because he made Rinne the cosigner on all of his own loans with a forged stamp. He's also a womanizer and a literal thief as he steals his girlfriends' valuables from their homes while he's wooing them. He runs a scumbag operation in the otherworld too: the Damashigami Company, whose workers' job is to bring spirits to their deaths before their time. Dad tries to force Rinne to marry and agree to take over the "family business," but withdraws when he comes to believe that Rinne and Sakura are dating.
Ageha: she's another shinigami. Her outfit and scythe have a lot of bows, and her scythe looks like a piece of merchandise from a magical girl show from the '90s (Cardcaptor Sakura immediately came to mind). At first she believes Rinne is a damashigami and attacks him, but that's cleared up pretty soon, and after he saves her, she develops a crush on him. Ageha's sister is working as the "hot secretary" for Rinne's dad.
Kain: introduced in this volume, he comes to collect Rinne's spirit in the form of a ball of light, because (here it comes) Rinne's dad borrowed money from his mom while pretending to be in love with her, and put the IOUs in Rinne's name.
Rinne's dad brings home the idea of money running the spirit world (or whatever it might be called) being an unfair or cruel one. Dad hasn't had a single consequence for any of his actions aside from being bopped on the head occasionally and, well, no one but lovesick women trusting him. He cheats and steals, and pays for it by having a huge business with lots of employees and living extremely comfortably.
His child Rinne--aged fifteen, by the way!--is literally homeless, living in a room in an abandoned building with nothing but a couple of tatami mats and a track suit to his name (aside from the scythe and haori that are the tools of his trade). There's a scene in volume 5 where Sakura brings Rinne and Rokumon breakfast from a convenience store--things that I can only imagine are like the faded, damp sandwiches you can find in the fridge at 7-11--and they are starry-eyed at the amazing feast they've been provided.
It's near-impossible not to see this as a social commentary on how unevenly wealth is distributed here in the ordinary world, and how the wealthy--in this case literally on a one-to-one basis--are taking from those less well off than they are, rather than the other way around. I can't help but see a painful awareness as well, of how younger generations have a far more tenuous existence than their parents had, and of how kids are at the mercy of their parents, even if those parents are neglectful pieces of trash.
One story in this book has the spirit of a yanki (girl delinquent or gangster) from the '80s whose spirit isn't at rest. Rokumon thinks "this girl is classic" when he comes across her by chance. Takahasi has to have written this with tongue firmly in cheek, since her own career started in the late '70s.
This whole series has a self-aware cast to it, and isn't the worse for it, necessarily. It's more sedate and way less horny than a lot of her earlier work, and the underlying tone is more cynical or grim than spritely. Between the stories constantly having premature death as their subject matter, and the aforementioned depressing situation Rinne is in, that's almost inevitable. The standalone stories are resolved with psychology rather than the typical battle sequences of shonen manga. It's still got its funny moments, and the characters are really cute. (The cats, including Rokumon, are adorable!)
If Takahashi had simply remixed earlier motifs and called it a day, this would be a far less interesting series. I'm on the fence as to whether I actually enjoy Rin-Ne, but it gets four stars, partially for its effort at trying something different, and partially out of fondness for Takahashi as the only manga creator I've been following for over 30 years. (she's also the only manga creator I can think of whose work has been translated consistently for that entire time period, to be fair.)

Este volumen me gust¨®, el padre de Rinne literal crea destrozos por donde pasa, pero ahora s¨ª le ha costado bastante a su hijo. Me gusta ver c¨®mo va avanzando la trama principal entre peque?os casos de fantasmas, le dan buenos respiros a la trama grande. Porque con ese padre abusivo y farsante parece que tardaremos bastante en atraparlo y acabar con su organizaci¨®n. Y el pobre Rinne no creo que pueda deshacerse de todas las deudas que le caen pronto.

"I am the shinigami clerk, Kain. Let's just say I'm...the creditor of your debt."
Another case of the week, another new character introduced - as well as an old face making his return. We¡¯re only six volumes in and already there are so many characters to know. It¡¯s not overwhelming yet, though; and I¡¯m kind of interested to see how packed with life Rumiko can make this world that revolves around death.
Despite the new character, the most fun part of this volume was not his introduction, but the interactions he caused. Once again, Sabato is the source of all of Rokudo¡¯s troubles and then some. It makes me wonder if we¡¯ll ever see his comeuppance. His ability to weasel his way out of trouble is only second to his ability as a spendthrift.
I will never get tired of this new dynamic between Rokudo, Sakura, Tsubasa, and Ageha. It¡¯s always a treat to see them interact and (try to) solve a case together. Tsubasa and Ageha are the same kind of idiot in slightly different ways, so when they are both together it¡¯s twice the fun. Any time they hit first and ask questions later, it always makes the problem worse and I hope they don¡¯t learn for a long time.
Rokudo and Sakura continue to be the straight man and much too straight man, respectively, to all these weirdos around them. Though any time they stray the course fuels my shipper heart. Rokudo is such a straightforward character that his continued pettiness towards Tsubasa is both surprising and hilarious. They both know Rokudo is winning this war and yet they react the same way, oblivious to Sakura right in front of them. As for Sakura, we get to see her coolheaded demeanor crack for the first time when Kain kidnaps Rokudo¡¯s life flame. Even I stood at attention when she took charge. For a moment there, she even looked angry. I¡¯d love to see this side of Sakura more in the future.

I¡¯ve been having so much fun. I don¡¯t know where the author gets her ideas from, but it must be an interesting place.
Rin-Ne getting cursed by accident so many times was hilarious, and so was the plot line with a rather obsessed and misguided debt collector. The ghost stories in this volume were not quite as memorable as in the previous ones, but the other plot lines compensated for that ?
Now, there are 34 volumes left in the series, but it¡¯s doubtful that I will get my hands on all of them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. So I am putting this on hold for now, but the journey will continue at some point.

The horror in this story is nothing to do with the ghosts or the gods of death, and everything to do with how poor Rin-Ne is in debt through no fault of his own and it's often played for laughs?? Weird tone aside, I'm still liking the characters and ghostly mysteries enough to carry on. It's quite episodic at the moment as well, so I can read it slightly out of order as and when I track down the volumes.

Me gusta leer este manga, me da la sensaci¨®n de un descanso que necesito cada d¨ªa en mi vida.
Ya vamos parte de la historia con el personaje que le cobra a Rinne lo que su padre roba. Debo decir que la situaci¨®n tanto en el manga como en el anime son muy buenos y nos recuerda lo desagradable que es el padre.
A ver que sucede en el pr¨®ximo volumen
Buenas lecturas les deseo ?

Now, I know that it has been awhile since I have read Rumiko Takahashi¡¯s new ¡°Rin-Ne¡± series since I have been busy reading other books at the time. But now that I finally got back into this series, I was able to pick up the sixth volume of ¡°Rin-Ne,¡± which introduces none other than Kain to the cast and man, does he bring so much tension to this series!
Just like in the previous volumes, there are multiple story arcs in this volume, which includes the first story being about Tsubasa Jumonji, the ghost exorcist, meeting up with Masato, the devil, and Masato ends up giving Tsubasa the Book of Devils, which will put horrible curses on Rinne as long as Tsubasa holds the book in his hands. At first, Tsubasa refuses to use the book since that would mean that his soul would be completely tainted and therefore, Masato would end up taking his soul. However, several bizarre instances cause Tsubasa to unknowingly curse Rinne, even when he does not mean to.
Can Rinne and Sakura stop these horrible curses from happening to Rinne?
In the second and main story arc, Kain a young Shinigami clerk who records human life spans, wanted Rinne to pay a price, due to Rinne¡¯s father Sabato, owning Kain¡¯s mother a lot of money (which he tricked Kain¡¯s mother into giving him so much money). So as collateral, Kain decided to take Rinne¡¯s life flame, which causes Rinne to turn into a spirit due to losing his human body and the only way that Rinne can get his body back is if he tells Kain the location of the Damashigami Company!
Can Rinne and his friends retrieve his life flame back before it is too late?
Read this book to find out!
Rumiko Takahashi has done it again with her clever storytelling of an unlikely couple that ended up having adventures in the world of the dead. I really loved the way that Rumiko Takahashi made Sabato, Rinne¡¯s father, into more of a driving force behind Rinne¡¯s misery throughout the series and the fact that he practically jilted Kain¡¯s mother out of all of her money makes him into a more corrupted yet darkly humorous character. I also loved the character of Kain as he seems much more serious than any of the previous antagonists in the series as he actually succeeded in nearly taking away Rinne¡¯s life, just to get back at him for what Rinne¡¯s father did to him. I also love the fact that Rinne and Sakura¡¯s relationship continues to develop throughout the series at a much faster pace than Rumiko Takahashi¡¯s previous works, which makes this series much more original! Rumiko Takahashi¡¯s artwork continues to dazzle me as the characters are both gorgeous and cute to look at and I really love the way that the afterlife is both a horrifying and hilarious place to be at as it makes the world extremely creative to look at!
Just like the previous volumes, this volume does have some language, but it is not as strong as some of the most mature manga and it does not pop up that often within the story.
Overall, ¡°Rin-Ne Volume Six¡± is just as fantastic as the previous volumes and I cannot wait to see what other adventures lies ahead for Rinne and Sakura!

Tsubasa is dissapointed by the failure of his date attempt in the last volume, and is tempted by the demon Masato to use the corrupted power stone against Rin-ne in order to remove him as a rival. He resists, only to nearly be sent to hell after he (repeatedly) curses Rin-ne completely by accident.
Total filler - the story gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on.
Then the student council president runs into trouble when a doppelganger starts causing trouble around the school (seriously? How does this school not have a reputation for being haunted?). Another filler ep.
And a new challenger approaches! (Not for Sakura this time. Yet, anyway.) Ageha re-appears, as well, leading the new foe right to the group. It turns out Rin-ne's father is running a long-term con against the mother of one of the Shinigami clerks (Shinigami who basically check over departed souls, seeing that they haven't passed before their time). He's deterimined to get to Rin-ne's father, and will go through Rin-ne and the rest of the group to do so. He kills Rin-ne, stealing his 'life flame', and the gang must rush to get it back before it's sold at the shinigami pawn show the next morning. Rin-ne's loser dad makes up an appearance as well.

Another volume brings new silly item of shinigami uses, another new quirky character appears (Shinigami Debt-collector! Thats a good one) and more random stuff happens
... The overall story isn't really going anywhere, but its a nice way to kill some time. The humor and cute character art are just very likeable

A new character appears right on schedule and is badass enough to steal Rokudou's haori right off his back... not to mention how he broke his scythe and oh yeah, took Rokudou's life. Things are hairy again thanks to this guy's mother having been another of Rokudou's father's victims.

A much better volume than the previous one. A fun read.

I love this zany manga. It's funny and the stakes are so so low, so it's not anxiety inducing to read. It has actually helped me a bit with my fear of ghosts.
