Inuyasha
Manga legend Rumiko Takahashi is even designing a brand-new character just for Japan’s top cosplayer to pose as.
Creator of Inyasha, Ranma 1/2, and other hits shows where she draws, her amazing home library, and incredibly merch collection.
Anime/manga legend lays out various scenarios for five-way fight, and physical strength plays surprisingly small role.
The legendary creator of the will-they-or-won’t-they couples of Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 discusses her logic.
Takahashi apparently has more boundless energy than any of her hot-blooded shonen manga stars.
You don’t become one of the most prolific manga creators of all time without putting in some very long hours.
One of the all-time anime/manga greats sets up website form for questions, will answer them through Twitter.
You might need to “sit” for this one–indulge in the nostalgia and buy up the exclusive character goods at this limited-time art appreciation event.
Multi-generational follow-up to the Rumiko Takahashi hit also has a confirmed premiere date.
Today we’re counting down some pivotal episodes before the release of Yashahime this October.
Yashahime, starring daughters of Inuyasha’s stars, is coming soon, but the entire Inuyasha manga is free to read right now.
Seriously, it’s been a long, long time since these series aired, and now we feel really old.
Inuyasha vs. Ranma vs. Lum vs…..a whole lot more of the most popular anime and manga stars from the past 40 years.
Takahashi was awarded the 2019 Grand Prix at France’s Angoulême Festival, but fans in her native Japan were confused by how her work was framed.
Our reporter finds a freaky coincidence or a hidden message in the titles of the Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 creator’s series to date.
