To say that Rumiko Takahashi is a legend is to say that maybe Richard Epcar is an okay voice actor. Takahashi is beyond a legend. She's been in the manga and anime industry for decades, and worked on some of the most famous works around. Her name is spoken in the same sentence as Osamu Tezuka, and he's known as the 'god of manga'. But okay, enough hyping up a goddess of manga. Why bring her up today? Well, she's adding a new series to her long list of legendary works. Joining Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, Urusei Yatsura, and many others is a new manga series set to launch May 8th.
With a working title known as 'Mao', we have little to go on here. Many people are thinking Inuyasha when they see the name and the protagonist. We have a working title as a brief summary: “a strange romance between a boy and girl who meet by fate.”
Thanks man. this article got me all nostalgic. cant wait to read Mao
I gotta wonder, though, does Go Nagai get as much respect as Rumiko Takahashi does? I'm genuinely curious.
Thank you for the article. I'll let my sister know (but I won't tell her where I read this).
