Could there be a bit of inspiration from TO-Y's Niya Yamada in MAO's Nanoka Kiba? Here's Rumiko Takahashi's TO-Y tribute artwork.
"To begin with, I don't really have a fixed view on men (laughs). But when it comes to women... I do tend to think that possessiveness might just be the essence of womanhood. That sort of thing just suits my sensibilities (laughs)."
MAO Chapter 330 "Grave Robber" - With reports of rural grave robberies in the news, Mao, Nanoka and Hyakka set out to investigate and find evidence that Hakubi is up to something using the bodies he has found in these remote locations.
Our set of original first chapters for (L to R) Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, Kyokai no RINNE and MAO in Shonen Sunday and Big Comic Spirits. These are getting more and more expensive to find, especially the 2nd picture with Takahashi's debut short story.
MAO Episode 17 - Mao sleeps to recover from battle leaving Nanoka, Otoya and Hyakka to tend to his patients. Later he reveals his history with the earth user Daigo and investigate a series of strange deaths.
New imagery promoting the upcoming season 3 of Ranma 1/2, plus casting announcements and comments from the new voice actors! Masako Nozawa, Jun Fukuyama, Mayumi Tanaka, Saori Hayami and Minami Tanaka join the cast.
MAO Chapter 329 - Mei moves in with Mao to seek treatment for the Seed of Haku, while Nanoka gets upset that Mao spoke with Yurako and sought out Byoki without telling her.
A first look at MAO Volume 30, which is set for release on August 28th.
Due to the delays caused by Wimbledon last week, we have two episodes of MAO this week. In ep 15 Mao faces off against Shiranui and learns that it was the water user that injured his face and left him with his scar centuries ago. Then Mao and Hyakka face off against Hakubi.
After doing some research last year, we realized that NHK's 2017 list of the 100 best anime songs (celebrating 100 years of animation in Japan) we were shocked to find that NHK had taken their archive of the list offline and it was completely unreachable unless you used the Internet Archive,
MAO Chapter 328 "Sin and Resolve" - Renji discovers that Mei's legs have turned to wood due to her Seeds of Haku. When he tries to help her escape Shiranui discovers his plan and intercedes.
"An audition for the role of Haimaru was held right there at the studio on the spur of the moment, and I managed to land the part! Also, the director would bring us wonderful treats. Shimono-san, who voiced Hyakka, hogged all the watermelon during the summer!" -Yuki Kaji
As an art historian, I was always tickled that Takahashi was so amused by "Ecce Homo" painted by Elias Garcia Martinez during the 1930s. Because the painting had started to deteriorate it was "restored" by Cecilia Giménez an untrained 81 year old woman. The result is bonkers.
Some of the characters and costumes from the Inuyasha stage play.
"The first book by Takahashi that I ever bought was volume 16 of Ranma 1/2. The cover art was so pop and cute. "Pantyhose Taro" really made a huge impression on me. I was also delighted to be able to discuss the works of Daijiro Morohoshi when I consulted her."
The Viz Panel at Anime Expo has just announced that the MAO anime will begin it's English dub on August 24th, for the first 13 episodes with the second 13 episodes dubs arriving sometime in November.
MAO episode 14, "The Iron Mask" - Kamon, Mao, Nanoka and Otoya investigate a high class party after a series of attacks on the military have taken place. There they discover Yurako mingling with the masked soldier Captain Shirasu as they search for a metal wielding onmyoji.

MAO Chapter 327 "The Light at the Bottom of the Water" - Renji ventures down into Shiranui's underwater temple in search of Mei after Yurako entrusts Sana's heart to Shiranui. Renji locates Mei, but her condition shocks him.
While it's likely obvious to Japanese fans, Western fans may not realize that the animal Tenko's true form is supposed to represent is a "marten", a type of weasel, as indicated by the kanji in her name (貂子).
