Ranma 1/2 Official Fan Book – Great Delight

Description The official fanbook of “Ranma 1/2,” which began serialization in 1987 and continues to be loved by many to this day. Voices of people who say that “Ranma 1/2” was a part of their youth are gathered here. An interview with the three now-legendary voice actors: Kappei Yamaguchi, who made his anime debut as male Ranma; Megumi Hayashibara, who, coincidentally, first played a named character (Yosuke Nanao) in Rumiko Takahashi’s “Maison Ikkoku” before voicing female Ranma; and Noriko Hidaka, who played Akane Tendo—all sharing their memories of that time. An essay manga by Shinta Harukawa, currently making waves with “Momose Akira no Hatsukoi Hatan-chu” in Weekly Shonen Sunday, is also included. Harukawa talks about their first encounter with “Ranma 1/2,” which inspired them to become a manga artist. Packed with valuable information such as the secret origins of the main characters, technique explanations, and character parameters, this is a must-have permanent edition for anyone who wants to fully enjoy “Ranma 1/2.” [Recommended by the Editor] A must-see collection of passionate contributions from 15 manga artists—including Arina Tanemura, Kotomi Aoki, and Misato Konari—who were deeply influenced by “Ranma 1/2” and aspired to become manga creators.
