Rumiko Takahashi is a Japanese manga artist who debuted in the late 1970s and created major series including Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma ½ and Inuyasha.

Often described in reviews as the "queen of manga"; many of her manga have been adapted into long-running anime series and films.

Rumiko Takahashi is celebrated for comic energy, memorable characters and stories that mix humor with adult emotion. Reviews praise Urusei Yatsura's inventiveness, Maison Ikkoku's intimate maturity and Ranma ½'s comedic craft. Her works are widely adapted into anime and remain influential.

For:Fans of manga and anime, readers of romantic comedy and slice-of-life stories, and those interested in classic 1980s Japanese pop culture.

 This is how Lum begins, the anime based on the first work of the "queen of manga" Rumiko Takahashi, destined to write other important pages in the art of comics ("Ranma 1/2" to name just one).

 Among sentimental/romantic anime, this is perhaps the most complete and poignant.

 What remains with us after completing the entire viewing of the series is an inexplicable sense of melancholy, like when you suddenly part from loved ones, a sign that the story truly entered you, and at the same time you participated in those feelings.

 Considering the first period of her career, and leaving aside collections of stories, I personally consider Ranma ½ a certainly entertaining work but perhaps less successful than the previous ones.
