History repeats itself…here’s a parody screencap from the Ranma 1/2 anime

So, this was the only version of this art I found that kept the signature and the stamp. It was the cover of chapter 80 of Maison Ikkoku, but color versions are hard to find since most volumes just have it in greyscale. This one (with the odd logo and watermark) is technically a poster, but it'll do. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because VIZ actually mentioned something that I found pretty interesting in a translation note.

"A Good Friend: This title page is a parody of similar pictures and calligraphy by writer Saneatsu Mushanokoji. The original Japanese phrase is Naka yoki koto wa utsukushiki ka na—"To be on friendly terms is beautiful."

If you're like me, you don't tend to look stuff up that you see mentioned in translation notes, but this proved to be pretty interesting so I wanted to share. Saneatsu Mushanokoji was a novelist, poet, artist, etc. He painted some still lifes depicting vegetables in the 1920s. He obviously has done a great deal other than that, but here's one of his paintings for reference.

This piece called "GOOD FRIENDS" and I got the image from a website called mutualart.com. As you can tell, Rumiko not only parodied his still life but also referenced his work by including poetry, calligraphy, a signature and a stamp (none of which she normally included on cover pages). A personalized stamp in Japan is often used instead of or in tandem with a signature as an identification method. Anyway, I found this neat and wanted to share.

Rumic World fun facts!

It seems widely known that the short story Those Selfish Aliens is essentially the pilot for Urusei Yatsura (aka Those Obnoxious Aliens), but reading some more Rumic World & Rumic Theater short stories and comparing them to the Furinkan.com publishing timeline, a few other stories seem to be pilots for—or early versions of the ideas that would later become—other Rumiko Takahashi series.

Wedded Bliss was published in the same magazine (or a spinoff title) as Maison Ikkoku, within a month of Ikkoku's debut, though the order in which they were created is unclear since either one could've been written/drawn earlier and been held for publication at a later date. The tone of the story and the couple's dynamic is more reminiscent of Ataru & Lum than Godai & Kyoko, but the wife even has Kyoko's hairstyle and apron!

[these stories were published so long ago they read left-to-right!]

In 1985, again in the same magazine as Ranma 1/2 but this time 2 years before Ranma came out, we have Excuse Me For Being A Dog!, a romantic comedy featuring martial arts, involuntary transformations, and early prototypes of Akane, Ranma, Kuno, and even the Akane/P-chan dynamic! I have to wonder if the gag in Ranma where Ranma briefly thinks Ryoga's turned into a dog is a meta reference to this story.

Also of note: 1983's Fire Tripper and Sleep And Forget also contain ideas that wound up in Inuyasha. The former is a story of time travel between the modern age and the Warring States era, the latter is a story of reincarnation and mystical demon dogs, and both contain the Takahashi-typical dynamic of an average schoolgirl drawn into romance with a mysterious wild boy.

All the stories were originally published in English in Rumic World and Rumic Theater, but as of this writing they're all unfortunately long out of print.
