“weekly Youth SUNDAY” announced a new serial lineup that will begin this spring, including the new work “MAO (Provisional)” by Takahashi Rumiko
As early as the announcement of this news, many readers on the Internet have foreseen that Gaoqiao will inevitably serialize a new work. Moreover, many people are convinced that the first Roman words for the title of the new work will be “O”
Why is there such a statement? Let us review the past five serial works of Takahashi’s teacher:
- “福星小子”, Japanese title “うる星やつら”, starting with “U”;
- “The moment of gathering”, the Japanese title “めぞん一刻” starts with “M”;
- “Ranma 1/2”, Japanese title “らんま1/2”, starting with “R”;
- “Inuyasha”, the Japanese title “Inuyasha”, starts with “I”;
- “Reincarnation of the realm”, the Japanese title “BoundaryのRINNE” starts with “K”
By reordering the first letters of the five works, you can get -.
RUMIK
As long as you add an “O”, the first letter of the six works just happens to form “RUMIKO” – the Japanese pronunciation of the name of Takahashi Rumiko
This discovery has spread among readers. Many people believe that Gaoqiao is interested in hiding his name in the title of the work. They also speculated that this year’s 61-year-old Takahashi teacher will launch a new work starting with “O”, which will also be her last serial work
However, on the occasion of the official publication of the new work, the title of the announcement is “MAO” – although this is only a temporary title, it does not start with an “O”. The long-running speculation has been shattered.The
Net Lab website interviewed the young SUNDAY editorial department and learned that in the serialization of “Reincarnation of the Realm”, Mr. Takahashi had heard of this rumor and said that his first name contained in his title. Saying, “It’s really accidental. I was also taken aback by myself. It’s better to say that the pattern of narcissism is too shameful. I can’t do it at all.”

Takahashi Rumiko’s new work was announced. The last time the cartoonist Yuki said on Twitter, she had talked with Takahashi teacher at the end of “The Reincarnation of the Realm” and asked her if she persisted in working for so long, whether she planned to take a break. Long vacation. Teacher Takahashi replied: “I have to start painting (new story) quickly. Because I still want to paint on the Juvenile Manga magazine, if I sway, I will have no time.”
The last time I listened to Takahashi’s answer, I felt admired from the heart. She said that it is very simple to say, but the enthusiasm that will not be exhausted is the godsend that is really difficult to change. There are short-lived geniuses in the world that look like fleeting magic. But insisting on blooming but different, you need to trigger countless miracles. She feels that the number of miracles constitutes the scale of the writer’s life. The first and last of these many miracles is “enthusiasm.” The inexhaustible enthusiasm of Takahashi’s teacher in front of her eyes is really miraculous and radiant in her eyes, which makes her heart happy: “Wow, humans can reach such a realm.”
