Congratulations! I personally am glad to see that the word "manga" itself is accepted in the English language. Manga are a totally different genre in comparison to comic books and the work that this creative woman has made is being rightfully recognized!

I'm happy to see such an honor go to such a deserving manga-ka as Takahashi Rumiko. I've been a big fan of her work since the late 80s when I became aware of it, through Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku and the Mermaid stories.

Even after all these years I still have full manga sets of UY, MI, Ranma and the Mermaid stories among my library of books. Eagerly awaiting what she comes up with next!

Ranma was very original and naturally funny
