I miss Ranma. And now that InuYasha is over, there's a big void. I can't wait for Takahashi to write up something new. And Ed is correct, the story didn't end. Takahashi gave up on it, actually. She never liked Ranma. :< Sad, it's my favorite manga out there, and I'd rank it #1 if it had an actual ending. Ah. I miss Ranma. And now that InuYasha is over, there’s a big void.

Takahshi just stopped telling it. So Ranma and Akane are still high school students, still engaged and still have a lot of issues to work out in their relationship. Sorry, no resolution to this manga. Hunter, technically the story doesn’t end. Takahshi just stopped telling it.

And I'm afraid you've misread me -- there's no snark in the above. The last few sentences should be read "straight".

Yes, the first Ranma releases were in the larger TPB format, for $14.95, and after Tokyopop came along, Viz started releasing Ranma in the smaller $9.95 formats. But Ranma (and Inu-Yasha) have -never- been released in r-t-l format. Maison Ikkoku was, but the other two long-running Takahashi titles were never "flipped." And the cover doesn't give everything away, as mentioned above. So what's with the snark? -rob >

I actually kinda feel like the endings for a lot of Rumiko Takahashi stories disappoint, but Ranma will always have a special place in my heart. BTW, that last story arch is really fun. The cover doesn't tell you everything. ^_^ Ranma got me back into anime in high school in the early 90’s.

I've been waiting for this a long time, and serioulsy did not think it would take this long for Viz to release all of them. I've even looked for this in Japanese bookstores, but could never find the final volume, so it must be good. Inu Yasha is entertaining, but I feel Maison Ikkoku is Takahashi's finest work to date, and would love to see her use her talents towards something like that again. It's been twenty years since Maison Ikkoku ended in Japan! Ranma was my introduction to Manga as well, although it started with the television series, so very long ago!

This was the first manga I read and it got me hooked. Thankfully, there is Inu Yasha to help fill the void. Dan, think how many volumes Superman or Fantasic Four will be then they are all collected!
