Takahashi’s manga, as well as the other formats her work has been adapted into, have continued to delight generations of fans around the world. A majority of the Takahashi canon has been adapted into other media such as anime, live-action TV series, and film. She won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award twice in her career, once for Urusei Yatsura in 1981 and the second time for Inuyasha in 2002. Takahashi was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 2018. Other notable works include Mermaid Saga, Rumic Theater, and One-Pound Gospel.
#INUYASHA SEASON 3 EPISODES SERIES#
Takahashi followed up the success of her debut series with one blockbuster hit after another- Maison Ikkoku ran from 1980 to 1987, Ranma 1/2 from 1987 to 1996, and Inuyasha from 1996 to 2008. This phenomenally successful manga series was adapted into anime format and spawned a TV series and half a dozen theatrical-release movies, all incredibly popular in their own right. Later that same year, her boy-meets-alien comedy series, Urusei Yatsura, was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday. The spotlight on Rumiko Takahashi’s career began in 1978 when she won an honorable mention in Shogakukan’s prestigious New Comic Artist Contest for Those Selfish Aliens.
