¾³½ç¤ÎRINNE [Kyokai no Rinne] #5
Rin-Ne, Vol. 5
After a mysterious encounter in her childhood, Sakura Mamiya gained the power to see ghosts. Now a teenager, she just wishes the ghosts would leave her alone! Then one day she meets Rinne Rokudo, a boy who is far more than what he seems.
Ageha, a young shinigami girl with a serious grudge against the evil Damashigami Company, searches for her missing sister with Rinne's help. Ageha is head over heels for Rinne, but he's got Sakura Mamiya on his mind. And how does Sakura feel about this odd ghost-busting love triangle?

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

There is still a lot of romantic confusion. As I suspected, cluelessness is not getting better. The classmates are enjoying the show, lol.
Sakura is cool at all times, I like that. Apparently, back in the day she subdued school bullies with a yo-yo. Awesome!
I enjoyed the story of the track team star and his senpai, it was very sweet (and silly).

After reading the fourth volume of Rumiko Takahashi¡¯s new series ¡°Rin-Ne¡± and being introduced to Rinne¡¯s deadbeat father Sabato Rokudo, I was truly interested in learning more about Sabato and his turbulent relationship with Rinne. Now, we have a new love interest in this volume named Ageha, who also happens to be a Shinigami girl who might give Rinne a run for his money in terms of competing with him in taking the souls back to the afterlife!
After defeating his father in the last volume, Rinne then meets up with a mysterious Shinigami girl named Ageha, who is out for vengeance against the president of the Damashigami Company, who she claims had kidnapped her sister years ago. Little does Ageha know, Rinne happens to be the son of the president of the Damashigami Company and Rinne decides to withhold this secret from Ageha. Not only that, but it turns out that Ageha has feelings for Rinne, but Rinne is still trying to sort out his feelings for Sakura Mamiya.
Will Rinne choose either Ageha or Sakura and will Ageha find out about Rinne¡¯s terrible secret regarding his father?
Read this volume to find out!
Now, the moment that a new love interest was introduced in this volume, I knew that Rumiko Takahashi¡¯s signature style in having many suitors for the main characters was going to show up in this series! I loved the fact that we are introduced to a female Shinigami in this volume as it makes things even more interesting for Rinne and Sakura. It was great seeing another Shinigami in this universe besides Rinne and now it seems that we are about to have a major story arc unfold in this universe that involves the evil Damashigami Company and everyone¡¯s efforts to bring the company down. I also loved the way that Rumiko Takahashi focused more on Rinne and Sakura¡¯s relationship in this volume as their relationship with each other seems a bit different than what we normally seen in Rumiko Takahashi¡¯s works as they are not constantly at each other¡¯s throats as we usually see them trying to sort out their feelings for each other and trying to see how their relationship will go in the future (in other words, as far as I could see, this is probably the most mature relationship shown in Rumiko Takahashi¡¯s works so far). Rumiko Takahashi¡¯s artwork is just as impressive as in the previous volumes as the characters look both cute and impressive and I really enjoy the fight scenes between Rinne and the citizens of the afterlife as they are truly stylized and exciting to see!
For anyone who does not like language in a manga, there is some language in this volume such as the use of the ¡°d¡± word, although it is not as bad as some of the more mature manga.
Overall, ¡°Rin-Ne Volume Five¡± is a fantastic volume for anyone who is interested in Rumiko Takahashi¡¯s ¡°Rin-Ne¡± series and I definitely cannot wait to check out the rest of this series in the near future!

I downgraded this volume and volume 6 after rereading them, for a couple of reasons. Ageha, once introduced, isn't that interesting a character--she has a crush on Rin-ne, how original--and she isn't given a lot to do except initiate this or that plot sequence. Kain and his mother are no more relevant than the throwaway student characters. This series wobbles backs and forth between engaging and "uninspired rehash of other Takahashi stories," and I wish the former was more prominent.
I appreciate the lack of shouting, and our heroine being unflappable to an extreme, and the storytelling not being dependent on constant violence or T&A. Still, there's something lacking that makes it a pallid version of Takahashi tale. It wasn't just horniness and fighting keeping the others afloat, was it?

No Rumiko Takahashi series would be complete without at LEAST two romantic rivals and/or love triangles. And "Rin-ne Volume 5" introduces a whole bunch of new problems for Rin-ne and Sakura, particularly a pretty but rather dim shinigami who seems to have a torch lit for the red-haired hero.
Ageha finally finds out what happened to her sister, and about the damashigami president's connection to Rinne. She reacts about as well as you'd expect, setting out on a supernatural journey filled with damashigami dangers -- and forcing poor Rinne to constantly dive in to save her. Needless to say, she interprets this ALL WRONG.
In fact, her romantic interest leads her to give Rinne a special lunch in an antique box... but of course, it's horribly cursed. And when Rinne starts hunting for a wandering spirit who needs to be reconnected to a spirit dog, Ageha is determined to assist him.
Then we take a little break from Ageha, with two more supernatural problems around the school. First there's a student being haunted by the ghost of his friend... who is still alive and well. And then there's a haunted tree being terrorized by the ghost of a yoyo-flipping bully, who inexplicably has a grudge against Sakura.
Sakura already has a guy who is obviously nuts about her, and now Rinne has an annoying admirer who just can't take a hint. It's pretty obvious that Sakura and Rinne are slowly falling for each other, but "Rin-ne Volume 5" is more entertaining because of the constant interference of the rivals.
And overall, this volume is a fairly even-handed example of this series' "Bleach-by-way-of-Ranma-1/2" type of fantasy-comedy. It's starting to feel as though it needs shaking up (how about a non-financial threat?), but the subdued comedy (Rinne being given dozens of bananas) mingled with slapstick is very funny.
And we find out a bit more about the dim, hotheaded shinigami Ageha in this volume. Well, she's dim and hotheaded, and she manages to completely misinterpret everything Rin-Ne says and does -- a standard rival. Tsubasa's unsubtle attempts to get Sakura on a date (while being shaken down by Rokumon) are much more entertaining.
"Rin-Ne Volume 5" is a solid round of ghost-banishing puzzles, plus another hopeless love triangle. Solid Takahashi, if getting a bit repetitive.

Not quite as good as the last volume in my opinion. Ageha-san creates more situations between herself and Rokudou which Mamiya misunderstands. Tsubane (or...? I'm blanking) encourages this and tries to secure a date alone with Mamiya at their old elementary school, which is a pretty damn cute idea for a date, I have to say. But no new characters this time. I wonder if Rokudou's mama is actually dead, don't you? And was she human? I'll continue reading.

"Th-that's right. Sakura Mamiya doesn't think of me that way... But no, hold on a minute. Then why's she upset?! No! Am I only imagining that she's upset...?! I don't know how Sakura Mamiya actually feels. I want to know how she feels. But how do I..."
While I enjoyed this volume, it was the first one that I was a little disappointed in. I was excited to see how Ageha and her sister¡¯s abandonment was going to be resolved, but the chapter just¡ends. There¡¯s no real conclusion or hint that the plot point will be picked up in the future. Thus, Ageha isn¡¯t formally introduced to the other characters; she¡¯s kind of just here now.
Rokudo and Sakura¡¯s relationship also returns back to its status quo, despite how hard other characters tried to encourage (or discourage) it. I wasn¡¯t really surprised, considering what kind of series this is, but its return also felt too sudden. They gained no deeper understanding of each other like when Tsubasa was first introduced. I¡¯m glad Rokudo and Sakura are back to ¡°normal,¡± but I dislike how it was done.
Finally, I was really enjoying the longer arcs of the previous volumes, but just as suddenly as everything else, this volume returns to the case of the week format. Again, I still enjoyed the cases, but I wish we had been eased back into them after a proper conclusion of Ageha¡¯s arc.
All that being said, I can¡¯t say I didn¡¯t enjoy the volume. Reading this series is so comforting. I always enjoy the comedy peppered with moments of honesty and gentleness. Ageha is so cute and ready to throw hands at all times. I love it. Her and Tsubasa meeting, and all four main characters solving their first case together, was the highlight of this volume. Let¡¯s hope the next one can bring us back.

I really like the episodic ghost hunts, and this volume returns to them after a subplot with Rin-Ne's dad that I didn't really care for. The main criticism for this series seems to be that the cases they investigate get repetitive and there aren't many long-lasting impacts on the characters or wider story. It's early days yet but I'm not finding either of those a bad thing at the moment. I mostly feel sorry for Rin-Ne and his endless debts.

En estos cap¨ªtulos ahora vemos m¨¢s conflictos y sucesos amorosos entre los protagonistas. Me gusta esta historia porque ahora vemos una relaci¨®n donde se enamora primero el chico, los rivales amorosos entre ambos me gustan mucho.
Adem¨¢s de conocer la historia, revivir lo visto en el manga es una experiencia ¨²nica y maravillosa porque puedes ver m¨¢s los personajes.
Espero con ansias leer el siguiente volumen.

Tenemos m¨¢s personajes nuevos, y se ve bastante el estilo c¨®mico de Takahashi con todos los malentendidos que Ageha y Tsubasa crean con Rinne y Sakura, es divertido verlos tratando de explicarlo o incluso tratando de ganar al otro sin mucho ¨¦xito. Ageha no es una gran shinigami por lo que veo, bastante novata a¨²n.

This one was a pretty good volume. I enjoyed reading it, at least. And hey, I learnt something! That's always fun. Granted it's not exactly useful, but still.
Multiple stories in this volume.
First 3 involve the girl shinigami, Ageha. One's a continuation of her search for her sister, with Rin-ne's dad making a reappearance. Then a haunted bento box.
Third, she makes a re-appearance when two cases colide. The gang investigates a ghost dog guarding a shelf at the library, while Ageha comes across a girl's spirit haunting the street corner where she died. The group follows the dog's leash through the spirit realm and run into Ageha, trying to help the girl figure out what is keeping her from moving on.
This, sadly was the story I learnt something from - I was baffled as to what a Tosa dog was and looked it up. I was very relieved that it wasn't some creepy supernatural thing (it's like night time, and I'm the only one up, okay? I don't need to be creeped out right now. lol). Apparently Japan has doggie Sumo wrestlers in addition to human ones. They have to shove their competitor dog out of the ring using their heads. And the get-up I initially laughed at (Hey, it's Sasuke's butt-bow!) is apparently $30,000. Wow. And here we thought the Hollywood pet owners were bad for spending money on pet clothes. At least the sumo dog gear has a ceremonial purpose.
Other stories... The last one involves a haunted YoYo. I'm already having trouble remembering the one before that, which should say something about it... oh, a track mystery. They were okay. The track one kind of makes you roll your eyes, but the YoYo one is kind of cute. Apparently Sakura has always been a guy magnet.

Other stories... The last one involves a haunted YoYo. I'm already having trouble remembering the one before that, which should say something about it... oh, a track mystery. They were okay. The track one kind of makes you roll your eyes, but the YoYo one is kind of cute. Apparently Sakura has always been a guy magnet.

A mixed bag. Felt like filler sometimes. Still, it had more highs than lows, so I didn't mind reading it at all.

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.
