We've been working on this one for a long time, the background of Rumiko Takahashi's libel lawsuit from 1994 when a Japanese tabloid made the false accusation that she wasn't the actual creator behind Ranma 1/2.

Fhe idea that Lumwas forced on Takahshi by fan demand or editors is an urban legend on the internet with no evidence that I have ever been able find. No interviews or anything. The only reason given for Lum reappearing is simply Takahshi deciding to bring her back in Chapter 3 (of the planned 5) Like, good posts on Lum but that Urban Legend needs to die because it's often used a an exercise to bash other female Rumic characters

I remember reading somewhere about how Lum wasn't planned as the female protagonist, she was just a planned short-lived character. However, I don't remember the source so all of you should take this with a grain of salt.

Nevertheless, in the narrative sense, this "Urban Legend" makes the most sense.

Ataru and Shinobu are a couple in the very beginning. Being Lum the one that intervenes in their relationship, making it a love triangle in the same chapter because of a misunderstanding. We had seen Takahashi's work over the years and we had seen how in every single one of her works she presents the protagonists and future couple in the first chapter.

With Urusei Yatsura, we right away know that Ataru and Shinobu are a couple because of how they interact with each other. Lum was added later in the chapter as a way to cause friction.

You can see how Lum's writing is different from her personality later, she becomes more of her character rather than a passing but still important character for Ataru's pervert actions.

We seen how Shinobu's actions toward Ataru, to fix his over-attraction to other women get passed to Lum a few chapters later.

Shinobu later becomes a side character while Lum becomes more a protagonist.

And this is when I defend the point of Lum not being the protagonist in the beginning.

Maison Ikkoku, we meet Godai and Kyoko in the first chapter. Kozue comes after the first chapters.

With Ranma 1/2 we see Ranma and Akane interact, we see that even though Akane thinks of him as a girl. We know our main protagonists and couple, making their love rivals appear later in the story.

In Mermaid saga, Yuta meets Mana and saves her, we don't get to know his past loves until later chapters.

In Inuyasha we met Kagome first and later in the same chapter Inuyasha. We only know about Kikyo until the third chapter in the manga.

Kyokai no Rinne presents us Sakura and Rinne in the first chapter, showing romantic rivals chapters later.

Mao, we meet Nanoka and Mao in the first chapter. His past feelings for a lost love don't come until later in the story.

As you see after Urusei Yatsura, Rumiko Takahashi decides to first present us with the real protagonists and future couples of her series in the very first chapter of her manga, making the love rivals appear chapters later.

Why does she decide to develop first a little connection with the protagonists before presenting a love rival when that didn't happen in UY?

Simple because it's a very big probability that Rumiko noticed that it was bad to present a rival in the very first chapter when you don't make the readers have a connection with the main protagonists. Sure, we know about Shinobu and Ataru's relationship' but even as a gag manga we don't know much about them or any interesting interactions in the first chapter. Shinobu hits him (with good reasons) and when she shows a bit of love is because she's worried or to make him return his will. Although that comes in serious situations, where we are shown that Shinobu actually cares for him but in an extreme situation. It feels forced because we don't know how and why they got together when they aren't working.

And yeah, UY may be a gag manga but this is the first and only time we see Rumiko break an established couple in the very first chapter in the future to make another one work.

It doesn't make sense seeing how she wrote all of her works later.

Final point: I love Lum, but we all can agree how the fandom has a blind love for her. She wasn't likable in the first chapters but she must have gained attention back in the day because of her outfit and her bold personality, explaining why later she had a big but still believable change in terms of participation and personality to make Ataru and her work.

Lastly, can you tell me if a young female girl who seems like an important part of the character story or individualism in any of Rumiko Takahashi's works became a secondary or side character later after the first chapters?

【TRUTH】Yashahime’s Director States Sessrin Has NEVER Been Approved by Rumiko Takahashi

(Translation of 海豹肉丸/北斗七星绅攻豹‘s article 2021-11-28)

We all know Sessrins love showing off Takahashi’s “favour” to their ship, although Takahshi politely denies it again and again. In fact, according to a recent Yashahime review, not only Rumiko herself, but also the the very director of Yashahime, Teruo Sato, openly declares that Sesshomoru and Rin are never a ship in Rumiko Takahashi’s work.

(Notice: Sorry I made a mistake here. This interview is not quite recent. It’s in Yashahime’s March review, and the question was on episode 15.)

第15話は、とわとせつなの母親がりんであることが明かされた回でもありました。殺生丸とりんを描くうえで、意識したことは？

そこに関しては、「半妖の夜叉姫」をやるにあたって、僕もいち犬夜叉ファンとして一番気にかかっていた部分でした。留美子先生が描かれたものではないところで、この二人の関係性を提示され、複雑な気持ちになるファンの方もいるのではないかと......その意味では、やはり二人がちゃんと幸せに暮らせるようにしてあげるのがベストですよね。このままでは目も当てられないというか。

留美子先生が描かれたものではないところで、この二人の関係性を提示され、複雑な気持ちになるファンの方もいるのではないかと......

留美子先生が描かれたものではないところで

(From: https://weibo.com/ttarticle/p/show?id=2309404708526944551169 Image link: https://wx2.sinaimg.cn/large/9c4a32f5gy1gwuvoamt4tj21o0190qfo.jpg)

It is clear that to Sato, “SessRin” is a thing never exsits in Rumiko Takahashi’s work. Here he is worried that even though Yashahime is not Rumiko’s work, some fans may well feel “uncomfurtable” about this ship. (Which is, of course.)

Yashahime is a fanwork of the Inuyasha Anime. Inuyasha anime is adapted from Inuyasha manga. The commerical part of its copyright belongs to Sunrise, but the canon is always what Rumiko Takahashi has drawn.

Interview w/Takahashi Regarding her Role in Yashahime

This is a discussion between Takahashi Rumiko (who we all know and love), Kenjiro Hata (author of Hayate: Combat Butler) and Kagiji Kumanomata (author of Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle).

You can find it on the Weekly Shonen Sunday Talkback blog, translated by Sakaki.

The parts that’s relevant:

A congratulatory special discussion between Sunday authors with TV Anime!!! (Rumiko Takahshi/Kenjiro Hata/Kagiji Kumanomata)

Bringing you a passioniate free conversation between three Sunday manga artists who's works will have TV anime this fall! Pick up Sunday Super issue 11 to see the continuation!!

(Mid August in Tokyo the three manga artists gather for a exciting evening discussion.)

Rumiko Takahashi (To be known as R): In regards to “Yashahime” I designed the three main characters, checked over scripts....that sort of thing. Kumanomata, how was it for you?

Kagji Kumanomata (To be known as K): For me it was more of a “If you could have this atmosphere it'd be great” oh, and receiving the recordings from the voice actor auditions.

Kenjiro Hata (To be known as H): Did you get what you wanted?

K: Well...they got some really good people. I'm not too familiar with anime, so I was really surprised that they got voice actors that I know...

I hope this clarifies to people, regardless of whether Yashahime is "good" or not, that Rumiko checks the scripts for the episodes in addition to designing the main characters!

With me finishing Rin-ne, my years long journey going through Rumiko Takahashi's major anime series is complete.

2016: Maison Ikkoku

2017: Ranma 1/2

2018: Urusei Yatsura

2019: Inuyasha

2020: Rin-ne

Overall, Maison Ikkoku is definitely my favorite of the bunch, and in my opinion Rumiko Takahashi's magnum opus. Inuyasha and Urusei Yatsura are also both very good.

For anyone who enjoyed reading my thought tweets about the Rumiko Takahshi series over on Twitter, or enjoyed whenever I brought my thoughts on them over here to Tumblr, thank you. It's been fun going through these series the last few years.

Whenever Rumiko Takahashi's current manga, Mao, gets adapted into an anime, I'll be watching that but that time as it's airing. I'm looking forward to it!

"Rin-ne" Manga End Plans Spotted

Volume 39 of Rumiko Takahashi's 2009 Rin-ne was released in Japan last week, and that makes it comparable to the span of some of the legendary author's other long works (Urusei Yatsura was 34, Ranma 1/2 was 38 - Inu Yasha was a marathon 56). It looks like that's about it for the current supernatural rom-com. A preview of Weekly Shōnen Sunday has the series ending in three chapters.

Kyoukai no RINNE by Rumiko Takahshi will end in 3 chapters --so if there are no breaks, in issue #5. http://pic.twitter.com/cjOKNu9udW
