Anime Profile: Rumik World

Rumik World is the collective name for a series of short mangas (and later OAVs) created by the renowned Rumiko Takahashi. Though some of the works in this collection are of the action comedy variety, Takahashio also departs from her norm, creating a number of pieces that can be serious and sometimes macabre. A number of these manga were later made into OAVs. US Manga Corps obtained the rights to publish a number of these OAVs, which it released under the collective Rumik World label. They include the following.

• Fire Tripper
• The Laughing Target
• Maris the Chojo (aka The Supergal)
• Mermaid Forest
